About
ATLAS
Association
ATLAS
is an association open to young people, travellers, backpackers and everybody with ideas that bring positive changes in culture, environment and society in general. We are a part of network of local initiatives that support sustainable living in Canary Islands. Our vision is to create space for people to learn, get empowered and take actions towards their dreams. During the past years we have had more than 70 volunteers in our Association from all over the world with the aim to create opportunities for young people to improve their professional and personal skills while exploring and enjoying the easy-going island spirit.
About the Accommodation You will be staying in shared rooms in our hostel located within one of the most authentic neighborhoods of Las Palmas City. La Isleta is a traditional barrio which is home to fishermen and maritime workers, a place with true Canarian roots where you can witness how European, Latin American and African culture mix together. The hostel is located within one of the oldest buildings in the barrio with 2 big roof terraces, 10 minutes walk from the Las Canteras beach. The hostel will be our home for the entire Exchange which means that we take care of it by ourselves (light household duties). Catering will be provided by the ATLAS.
