Las Canteras replaces the historic centre with a city open to the Atlantic. La Barra, the natural reef running alongside much of the beach, shapes the landscape and marine habitats; it is neither an artificial swimming pool nor a permanent guarantee of safety. Notice how the tide changes the view and how promenade, sand and marine life coexist. This area is separate from Vegueta and Triana: arrange a bus journey and your own return. Walking the entire beach is not necessary to enjoy it. Choose a stretch according to time and energy, respecting signs, species and protected spaces. If swimming, follow current safety instructions. The perspective changes again towards La Cícer and the Auditorium, where sea conditions may differ from other sections.
