Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpweɾto ðel roˈsaɾjo]) is a town and a municipality in the eastern part of the island of Fuerteventura in the Las Palmas province in the Canary Islands.

Originally known as Puerto de Cabras (Port of the Goats), Puerto del Rosario was initially of little political importance on the island, living in the shadow of the ancient capital Betancuria.

During the 1960s there was rural and urban migration from the smaller villages and farm areas of the island into Puerto del Rosario.

[4] There are regular ferry services to Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife with Naviera Armas.

Fuerteventura Airport is situated near El Matorral, 6 km south of Puerto del Rosario.

Puerto del Rosario grew around its harbour and it still plays a crucial role in the town today for transport and trade
