It's none other than the map of Ali the Canary, the most famous pirate of the 17th century! He was born in this city, and that's why he's hidden his most valuable treasure in Las Palmas.
To find it, you must overcome trials, riddles, and traps that only a great adventurer can triumph over. Are you ready for it?
