The Spanish town of Puerto del Rosario lies on the east coast of the island of Fuerteventura in the Las Palmas province in the Canary Islands. Once named Puerto de Cabras (Goat Harbour) the town developed into a major port after becoming the island's capital from La Oliva during the 19th century. The town's current name was changed in 1956 after the church located in the town's centre which is dedicated to the patron saint Virgin del Rosario.
The town's infrastructure is geared more towards industry and commerce rather than tourism, which is not that well established. The oldest part of the town, around the harbour, is where you will find narrow alleys lined with old Canarian style houses. However, one attraction that is worth visiting is the home of the former exiled poet Miguel de Unamuno which is now a museum. Work has been underway for a few years to improve the town's beaches so that they can be awarded Blue Flag status. The town's largest beach is called Playa Blancal and is located to the south of the town.
Ferry services from the town's port depart to Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Morro Jable.
Playa Blanca is a resort that is located on the Spanish island of Lanzarote which is one of the Canary Islands. The resort is well known for its good selection of shops and restaurants with perhaps the most popular districts being located along the Calle Limones Street, lining the promenade and at the Papagayo Centre. The resort's coastline is essentially one large bay which is 9 km wide but is broken up into three smaller bays. The bays are named, from east to west, Playa Dorada, Playa Blanca and Playa Flamingo. Because of terrain surrounding the resort, its beaches are sheltered and provide visitors and locals alike with an ideal place in which to swim.
Located around a 15 minute walk from Playa Blanca is Marina Rubicon where twice a week markets are held selling goods ranging from handcrafted goods to local wines. A popular attraction that is a short distance from Marina Rubicon is the Castillo de las Coloradas which is located on the headland of Punta del Aquila. This was constructed between 1741 and 1744 and provided good protection through its strong circular construction and its drawbridge. When pirates were approaching the coast, the watchtower's bell would be rung as an alert.
Ferry services operating from the town's small port depart to Fuerteventura, with many sailings each day.
