Furthermore, until the 1980s, Arrecife (a primarily seafaring city) was home to 90% of Spain's sardinal fishing fleet, linked to a very important canning industry, being the main port for fishing and producing canned sardines. Europe.

We are going to tour the Arrecife marina (considered the most interesting urban maritime landscape in the Canary Islands on an aesthetic, archaeological and natural level as well) and we are going to enter some of the most emblematic places inside the city from a historical and cultural point of view. , such as the Church of San Ginés and Calle Real with the old headquarters of the Lanzarote Cabildo, from where the Lanzarote "tourist revolution" of the 60s was born.
