Las Palmas in Gran Canaria is hoping to install a giant wheel in its centre - similar to the London Eye, which will hopefully attract more visitors to the capital. It transpires that Gran Canaria's tourist board has been in discussions with the city council and is looking for a suitable site in Las Palmas.However, there is opposition to the idea and although several sites have been proposed, none of them currently fulfil the accessibility and safety requirements. It is feared that if the wheel is placed too close to the city's main roads driver will automatically stop/slow down to look up at it which could lead to accidents.
The favourite location for the wheel is the plaza at the Santa Catalina bus station.
