Its history blends seafaring trade, volcanic activity, and maritime governance, leaving a heritage of fortified towns, churches, and a culture of hospitality. Its economy rests on a mix of tourism, public services, and agricultural activity tied to the sea and green landscapes, along with logistics and occasional light industry supported by improving transport links.
