Telde is a municipality in the eastern province of Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria, part of the Canary Islands. It is the second most populated municipality on the island. The population is 93,942 (ISTAC, 2003), the area is 102.43 km² and the density is 917.13/km² and is expected to reach the 100,000 person mark in the mid-2000s. The elevation is 130 m. It is located on the province's main highway, which links with the capital and the superhighway GC1, other roads includes GC4 with mountain curves in the northeast and GC5 near Teide and another interchange in the east. In recent years, the main industries have become private businesses and tourism, though until the 1980s agriculture was the dominant industry. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east, farmlands cover the central and eastern area, and the rest of the land is very mountainous. The housing developments of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria were built in the 1960s and were expanded in the 1980s. This expansion resulted in a loss of agricultural land which was replaced by residential, industrial and commercial properties, including hotels and an airport, Gran Canaria International Airport. The airport is located in the subdivision of Gando, between Telde and the capital. Further south lies the island's tourist zone.
