Introducing Puerto Del Rosario
Puerto del Rosario, the island’s capital – and the only place of consequence that exists for reasons other than tourism – is home to more than half the island’s population. It’s a relatively modern little port town that only really took off in the 19th century. If you fly to the island, or use the buses, you may well find yourself passing through. It’s a strange city with no discernable centre, which makes finding shops, restaurants and bars a frustrating business.

The good news is that the town hall has ambitious plans to make the city more tourist-friendly with a revamp of the promenade and surrounding streets. In the absence of any significant art museum, the city has also recently been graced by more than 100 sculptures by local and international artists. These are located throughout the capital and another positive sign that Puerto is trying to gild its somewhat tarnished image.
