Arrecife Old Town

As the capital of Lanzarote since the second half of the 18th Century, it has become the administrative and commercial centre of the island. It has everything of a fisherman’s town. The lovely avenue by the sea and the Charco de San Ginés are a must for a tapas stop at any time of the day.

Sustainability

Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
Respect and look after the area's historic and cultural heritage, along with the different items of public furniture (information panels, railings, seats, lighting, etc.).
