Now that you have your accommodation in Canary Islands you can afford to spend a few hours checking out the traditional architecture. Houses with window boxes full of flowers and plazas where the town folk gather in the evening to discuss the day’s activities before heading down to the local bar. The one place you need to visit before you leave the old town is the Guiniguada theatre; also take a walk through the old market that has been in existence since 1854.

Before you reach your Costa Tropical holiday accommodation finish your studies with the reconquista that was completed in 1492. This is when the population rose to 60,000 even with the emigration of a lot of the Muslim people along with the baptism of those who preferred to stay. This influx of people had a great effect on the development of this quarter. All this was accomplished without defacing what the Moors accomplished. The new Gothic churches and monasteries were able to coexist with the existing architecture.
