Arrecife

Arrecife lies along Lanzarote’s eastern Atlantic coast, where the island’s low volcanic terrain meets a shoreline of reefs, small beaches and sheltered inlets. The capital of Lanzarote has long been its principal port, with fishing and trade helping shape the compact centre around Charco de San Ginés, a tidal lagoon edged by houses and restaurants. Offshore, the 16th-century Castillo de San Gabriel stands on a small islet, reached by the stone Puente de las Bolas. The 18th-century Castillo de San José, built to defend the harbour, now houses the International Museum of Contemporary Art.
