Arrecife: Castillo de San Gabriel
Description
Located on a small island just off the coast and linked to the promenade by two paths this small castle was there to help protect the harbour from the pirates of the past. Today it's a nice place to take a walk out to. The castle itself houses a museum on the history of the island and the city, from pre history through to the modern day. There are also exhibits on the flora and fauna of the island.

Getting There
The castle is about a 15 minute walk from the Intercambriador bus station, or about 20 minutes from the Guaguas Bus Station. Alternatively, the Linea 3 of the Urban buses (not to be confused with the 3 Intercity bus from Costa Teguise) runs every 15 minutes or so from the Intercambriador to a stop by the land end of the bridges leading out to the castle, taking a couple of minutes to make the journey.
