Arucas - Gran Canaria - 4K

Описание: ARUCAS
Arucas is a municipality in the northern part of the island of Gran Canaria, province of Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Arucas borders Las Palmas to the west and is part of its urban area. Its population is 36,852 (2013), and the area is 33.01 km2 (12.75 sq mi). The GC-2 motorway passes north of the town.

Arucas was rebuilt in 1480 after being completely destroyed in 1478. Since the 15th century, the main crop of the Arucas area was sugar cane. Rum was produced here long before sugar plantations were cultivated in Cuba. One of the main features of modern-day Arucas is its rum factory. Arucas boomed with the demand for cochineal (a beetle feeding off cactus pear, crushed to produce red dye) in the second half of the 19th century.

Arehucas Destillery
Today Destilerías Arehucas is over a hundred years old and has a rich history. The distillery, located in Arucas (Gran Canaria), is a testament to this fact, welcoming more than 95,000 visitors every year. Arehucas is an established and prestigious trademark, thanks to the quality and history of its rums. It has successfully become a benchmark brand in the Canary Islands, a vital launchpad from where to showcase the image of our products to the world, rooted as they are in the culture and traditions of the region. Today Destilerías Arehucas is endeavouring to increase its presence beyond the Canary Islands, mainly in the rest of Spain and also internationally, by exporting to more than ten countries.

Church of San Juan Bautista
Catholic church located in the old town of Arucas, in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Construction began on 19 March 1909, and took over 68 years. The church was opened for public worship in 1917, but the construction continued until 1977, when the church was completed. Due to the large dimensions, it is usually referred to as The Arucas Cathedral even though it is not a cathedral.
