The focal point of the resort is the working harbor, and despite the fact that there are modern shopping centers, hotels and apartments, the harbor has remained as it once was. It is now surrounded by restaurants and a square and the promenade is the backdrop for the beaches. The promenade stretches all the way to Playa de las Americas.
