\nFor a long time it was the port of entry and exit for the products of Barlovento. Little remains of that hustle and bustle of boats. And although some occasional barge can still be seen, the Port of Talavera is a quiet bathing area, attractive not only for its surroundings, but also for the picturesque huts, witnesses of its commercial past.\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\nPuerto Esp\u00edndola was an important commercial port during the 16th and 17th centuries; afterwards, and until the 1930s, it remained an important point for the entry of merchandise and passengers. At that time the port consisted of a small pier and a small stone castle. Today the small quay has been renovated, and several remains of the castle have been preserved.\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\nThe municipality of San Andr\u00e9s y Sauces had several piers until the beginning of the 20th century, although little by little the port activity was concentrated in the port of Esp\u00edndola. The value of these ports, such as the outstanding port of La Cuevita, is related to the importance of agriculture in the area where the Convent estate was located. In the past, sheltered areas of the coast and ledges, were used to create davits, thanks to which the ships were connected to the land.\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\nSheltered by a volcanic caldera that protected the city from the winds when the Atlantic squalls arrived and the west-northwest winds blew in, the city grew rapidly thanks to a port that propitiated trade, especially in sugar cane. Its location in the route to the Indies, a strategic place for the fleets to stop, braught an increase in the volume of maritime traffic at the time.\n
\n
\n\nThus, the port was the gateway for settlers of diverse origins, attracted by the benefits granted by the Spanish Crown and the opportunities to do business. Flemish, Andalusians, Castilians, Catalans, Genoese and Portuguese settled on the island, giving rise to a unique island identity.\n\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\nAt the Punta de Fuencaliente you will find Las Salinas, a salt mine that lies on the Tenegu\u00eda malpa\u00eds and generates one of the most striking visual spectacles in the Canary Islands thanks to the whitish and pinkish tones of the salt mixed with the blue of the sea.\n
\n
\n\nPunta de Fuencaliente is also home to two lighthouses.

\nTazacorte is a municipality of fishermen and traders. The first stone of its port was laid on 8th April 1934. The mythical shipping company Fyffes Line is behind this history. Due to the large volume of goods it transported, Fyffes Line forced the National Government to build a port that was the livelihood of many families. Families who are still known as the Fyffes.\n
\n
\n\nToday its economy is more focused on tourism, but Puerto Tazacorte still retains its fishing essence.

\nThis is one of the most unique fishing enclaves on La Palma. This poris, one of the fishermen's moorings, is home to a unique and picturesque fishing village. Handcrafted cottages fused with the rock stand in a volcanic cave bathed by an often rough sea.\n
\n
\n\nIn the past, it was only accessible by sea. And it was not easy. In fact, it was an escape route for fishermen during the 17th century, when pirates attacked the coast. Nowadays, although it retains its fishing essence, it has positioned itself as one of the tourist jewels of La Palma.\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Like the rest of the Por\u00eds on the island, it was built for the boarding of passengers and goods, as the north did not have roads until 1950. Quite a historic feat, as this particular one was built on a vertical cliff.\n

\nHidden among the oldest cliffs on the island, the Port of Santo Domingo is a particularly well-known place among the fishermen of the area.\n

\nThe dangerous sea along these coasts made loading and unloading difficult, resulting in the loss of many goods and the sinking of several barges.\n

\nHistorically, the method used by the sailors on the barges to differentiate the destination of the merchandise stands out, as most of them did not know how to read or write. They marked the boxes and sacks with a different symbol for each \"pro\u00eds\" (crosses, circles, circles with their diameter...) to leave them at their destination.\n<\/p>\n[\/su_spoiler]\n\n[\/su_accordion] <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
