The town has capitalized on its status as a major surfing destination, contributing to its economic and cultural development.

Lanzarote, meanwhile, capitalizes on its natural appeal for surfing, with its renowned spots and ideal weather conditions attracting surfers from all over the world. The island actively promotes surfing through events and competitions, reinforcing its image as a destination of choice.
