Arrecife, the vibrant capital of Lanzarote, Spain, offers a unique blend of modern allure and traditional charm. Situated on the eastern coast of Lanzarote, this picturesque city is celebrated for its beautiful beaches, including Playa del Reducto, which boasts golden sands and clear waters perfect for a relaxing day under the sun. Arrecife's rich history is beautifully embodied in its iconic Castillo de San Gabriel, a historic fortress dating back to the 16th century. This striking landmark, now a museum, offers insights into the city’s past and panoramic views of the surrounding coastline. The castle is part of the city’s initiative to preserve and celebrate its maritime heritage. The city is also known for its artistic vibrancy, thanks to the influence of local artist César Manrique. His vision is evident in various public artworks and architectural designs throughout the city. Not to be missed is the Centro Asociado de la UNED (University of Distance Education), which showcases his unique style. Fun Fact: Arrecife’s name comes from the Spanish word for "reef" (arrecife), reflecting the city's coastal geography. This unique name perfectly captures the city's essence as a gateway to Lanzarote’s stunning natural beauty and rich cultural tapestry. |

The city of Santa Cruz De Tenerife, located on the island of Tenerife, is a favorite stop for Transatlantic voyagers. Tenerife is both the largest and most populated of the seven Canary Islands and of Spain itself. As the island's main city, Santa Cruz De Tenerife is home to almost half of the island's population.
Primary landmarks include the Santa Cruz Towers and the Iglesia de la Conception. In addition, its charming old wood-balconied buildings house attractive shops full of island handicrafts and enticing duty-free goods. As an alternative, take a tour inland through steep mountains forested in pine and laurel to snow-capped Mount Teide (the highest peak in Spain). The last part of your island tour may be by funicular and there's a stunning view at the top. |
