Restaurants, hidden gems, walking routes — all on an interactive map.
Arrecife's cruise port is at Muelle de los Mármoles, a commercial pier about 2 km from the town centre. It's a straight, flat walk along the waterfront promenade, or many cruise lines offer a free shuttle.
💡 Pro Tip
The waterfront walk to town is pleasant but long. Most ships run a free shuttle bus to the Marina — check your ship's information. Taxis wait at the pier (€5 to centre).
