This bustling fishing port was once plagued by pirates and its two castles stand guard over the harbour as a reminder of the local people’s determination to protect their capital city. Castillo San Gabriel, built in 1590, now houses the ethnographic museum where you can learn about the city’s original residents, The Gaunche, while the Castillo San Jose, built in 1770s on the fringes of Arrecife by the Puerto Marmoles, has the country’s Museum of International Contemporary Art. The hub of Arrecife is around El Charco de San Gines on the waterfront where locals and holidaymakers congregate around Casa Ginory to eat fresh fish and kids paddle or totter about in the playpark. You’ll also find shopping is that little bit cheaper in Arrecife than the rest of the Canaries as it is less geared towards tourists and is a real working city.
