Puerto del Rosario Halal Travel Guide

The city was founded around the year 1795. At that time and the town of Puerto de Cabras was called "Goat Harbor". This very prosaic name was laid in 1957 in favor of the better-sounding Puerto del Rosario, "Port of the Rosary Madonna", which refers to a church in the center of the city. In the 19th century and the port was an important hub for burned lime and, in particular and the "Karmin" dye, which was extracted in the vicinity of the town. Puerto del Rosario became the largest island on the island and in 1860 finally the island capital.

The municipal area of Puerto is almost 300 km² and extends from the east coast of the island to the west coast.
