Established for freed slaves in the 1780's, the Krio from North America and the Caribbean brought their language and culture with them; Creole remains the primary language today. When the first slaves came to Freetown, they settled around a cotton tree. This same cotton tree continues to grow in Freetown today. Civil war claimed the city from 1991-2002, but the town has bloomed since the end of the war with hotels and tourist friendly activities. Sitting on Africa's largest natural harbor, Freetown has many beaches that are world-reowned to be clean and beautiful, particularly Lumney.

Arrecife is not only the capital of Lanzarote or the main locality of Lanzarote's smallest municipality, but also of the chain of small islands which flanks it.

Places which must be visited are the Castle of San José, seat of the Contempory Art Museum which contains works by Piscasso, Miro, Mompó and César Menrique among many other painters and sculptors from all over the world. This fortress is situated in the east, on a small cliff, and houses different receational installations with a view of the port of Naos and of the Marbles. Another place of unusual interest is "Charco de San Gines" (San Ginés Pool) where water enters the land and where the hermitage was built, around which was formed the first nucleous of fishermen's cottages. This village has changed progressively, but still preserves its fishing village atmosphere. Visitors admire the old "calle real" (Royal Road) which leads to Avenida Marítima, the location of the municipal park.
