Nice view of the old parts of town.

A tribute from the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna to the researcher, humanist, and professor born in Arrecife (Lanzarote), who is considered the father of Spanish physics. The bust was created at the initiative of the Friends of the Cabrera Pinto Canary Islands Institute and the Royal Economic Society of Friends of Tenerife and was unveiled in June 2002. It is located in the Plaza de Guillermo Rances.

Not far from the port lies the tidal lagoon Charco de San Ginés, which is well worth seeing. This small saltwater lagoon played a significant role in Arrecife's history, serving both as a sheltered harbor for fishing boats and as a gateway for trade goods. Equally beautiful as the promenade and the lagoon are the traditional white houses of the old town, which can be seen here.

San Gabriel Castle, one of Lanzarote's oldest fortresses, rises from the tranquil waters of Arrecife Bay on a small island known locally as "Islote del Castillo" (Castle Island). However, for the island's older inhabitants, this island was always known as Islote del Quemado (the Burnt Island) due to the devastating fire it suffered during the attack of the feared Ottoman corsair Morato Arráez in 1586. Over the centuries, English, French, and Dutch pirates also approached San Gabriel's cannons before the much-celebrated failure of British Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson off the nearby coast of Tenerife at the end of the 18th century marked the beginning of the decline of piracy there. Today the castle is a must-see, not only because of the history museum housed there since 1972, but also because of the magnificent view from its roof terrace overlooking both the white island capital and the endless Atlantic Ocean.
