About
Quick facts: A charming fishing village turned holiday resort, known for its picturesque canals that earned it the nickname 'Little Venice of the Canaries.' The harbor buzzes with a colorful fish market every morning, offering a true taste of local life.
Highlights: A vivid mesh of whitewashed houses with bright bougainvillea flowers creates stunning postcard-perfect views. The Sunday market here spills along the marina, filling the air with irresistible aromas and lively chatter, perfect for soaking up local culture.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes to explore cobblestone streets and canals easily.
- Head to the marina at sunrise for stunning reflections and fewer tourists.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter experience, as it can get busy during market days.
