Now, if you come to the port, you can see it with your own eyes how to unload and then the billet of the fish. There are always many tourists, and the locals too. When you look at this life in the port, it seems that it is practically no different from the one that happened here a century ago.
Well, literally immediately behind the harbor begins essentially the historic quarter of the city. Previously, Spanish fishermen were built here using traditional style for this. To date, all the buildings are preserved and even the most popular house of the headlight is in the same place.
However, the fishermen themselves have no live here for many decades. The thing is that enterprising businessmen immediately bought old buildings and renovated them, well, now restoring their interior they use these fishing houses for shops and restaurants.

Lovers of ancient architecture must certainly look into the castle of San Jose. This fortress was erected back in the distance 1779 and was intended to protect the island from permanent pirate attacks. For a long time, this fort was used in direct appointment, but later already the need for it completely disappeared.
