Arrecife is the perfect place for a whole day in Lanzarote for its wide variety of activities and tourist spots to visit. Among all its excursions, the Puente de las Bolas and the Castillo de San Gabriel highlight, built in the sixteenth century as a fortress and currently used as a historical museum.
