Arrecife guided tour: from fishing to tourism
HISTORY OF LANZAROTE: DISCOVER ARRECIFE
Arrecife became the capital of Lanzarote in the second half of the 19th century, thus leaving aside its fishing and seafaring past. Not everything was erased from the collective memory, as we still have memories of that past that was so important for the entire island of Lanzarote.
In this activity of Connect With Lanzarote activity we are going to focus on the island's economy prior to the tourist boom and thus understand the figure of the Arrecife carnival: the buches.
A walk through the streets of the historic center to relive that past and those days of festivities and joy that are felt again on the days of the carnival.
