Tabarca has a curious history, having been mentioned by the Greek historians Strabo and Ptolemy, and it is believed to be the island that St. Paul disembarked on, giving his name to the settlement established here before it became a refuge for Berber pirates in the Middle Ages.

recaló
made landfall


Explanation:
Recalar significa "llegar o volver a puerto" según Marina Orellana. Estoy en la duda ¿san Pedro llegó o volvió al puerto? "made landfall" me parece englobar ambas posibilidades.
