History of Pedro Barba in La Graciosa
The area was named after a Canarian businessman who established a fish salting factory there in the early 1900s. It was the first settlement on the island with the construction of the factory and the houses around the dock.
When he fell ill, the business declined, causing the workers to leave for Caleta del Sebo and Lanzarote. Since the 70s, it has been a tourist destination.
