This city is the islands capital city since 1852. Once a prime target of pirates the area settled in the 15th century as a small fishing village and now a major port serving the other Canary Islands, Europe, and Mainland Africa. Once called the "Venice of the Atlantic". It also has 2 castles that were once used to defend from pirates and guard the harbor. We had a very vibrating landing on this island. There are no tree's here and it's really looks like a lunar landing. We had a free shuttle into town. Only 3 miles into town. Shops all close at noon to 5 so we are just seeing some sights.
Will try and post when I can.
Cherish The Moments, Love Deeply, Dream Big
