Aguimes |
The main industries are agriculture and tourism. The creation of a large industrial estate on flat land once covered by tomato plantations has brought new jobs and industries into the area and has enabled the development of a new purpose built port.
The district was not originally a major tourist destination, but the restoration of the old town has turned it in to a good example of a traditional Canarian hill town. The local plan for 'rural tourism' has led to the development of other small visitor centres around the district, the biggest of which is in the Guayadeque Ravine. This area has many cave houses dating back hundreds of years, and a complete village dug into the hillside, still occupied today and which has its own cave church, cave bar and cave restaurants.
