The ferry port of Arrecife is served by crossings from the port of Cadiz and Huelva on the Iberian Peninsula, Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de La Palma on the island of La Palma, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the island of Tenerife. There are 17 crossings per week.
The city of Arrecife, capital of the island, is mainly a port city, mentioned for the first time in the fifteenth century as a small fishing village. It owes its name to all the black reefs, islets and small volcanic rocks that abound along its coastline and make difficult access to land. Since 1852, a law on the ports guaranteed to him his customs immunity and the excise duties. It still holds this status today and tourists take advantage of it to shop. The city also has beautiful attractions such as the San José Castle, converted into an International Museum of Contemporary Art or the Charco de San Ginés, a small lake surrounded by fishermen's houses, on the edge of which was built the old hermitage of San Ginés.
