Charco de San Ginés

In the heart of Arrecife, an extraordinary and beautiful natural lagoon of marine water makes its way surrounded by the whitewashed fishermen’s houses. Permanent witness of the evolution of the city, the ‘Charco de San Ginés’, takes its name from what was its first hermitage, dedicated to the patron saint of the town that was built at his side. Natural barrier in the face of open sea effects, its calm waters give shelter to a multitude of boats and on its shore flows the incessant activity of the dynamic historical center of the capital of Lanzarote.
