Bitcoin, explained over coffee and coastline
Bitcanario is a volunteer-run community in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. We host free workshops, monthly meetups and Saturday walks, and we help local businesses start accepting Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin, not crypto. No altcoins, no tokens, no exceptions.
- Your keys, your coins. We teach self-custody before anything else.
- Good for the island. A circular Bitcoin economy keeps value in local hands.
- Privacy matters. Your data and your money are your business.
More than half of Canarians save less than €100 a month. Since 2020, food prices have risen 40% and city rents 50%, while wages grew 20%.

Where to pay in bitcoin
Live from BTC Map. New rules have made accepting Bitcoin harder and some places have stopped, so each entry shows when someone last confirmed it on site.

What members say
“Since we spoke with Fran and set up Bitcoin payments, new customers come in and pay in bitcoin. We also host the monthly meetup, which grows our bitcoin treasury.”
“I loved the Bitcoin Walk: chatting with other bitcoiners while taking in the coast. I like that they value privacy and stay Bitcoin-only.”
“Accepting Bitcoin literally put us on the map. BTC Map! Heiko keeps sending locals and visitors our way.”
Come to a walk. Bring questions.
Beginner or veteran, you're welcome. Most of us met on a Saturday morning at La Puntilla.
