It is not possible to directly load a GeoJSON file in ArcGIS 10.X, as this version does not natively support this format. To work with the data, it is required to use other formats available in the portal, such as GeoPackage (.gpkg), which is fully compatible with ArcGIS 10.x and can be managed as a geodatabase.
The GeoJSON format is an open standard format designed to represent simple geographic features, along with their non-spatial attributes.

To load a GeoJSON file from the portal into Arcgis PRO it is necessary to convert it into a Feature Class, using the "JSON to Features" tool.

It is important to ensure that the data has the proper projection. If necessary, reproject the data using the "Project" tool (Project), which allows you to change the projection of a dataset, ensuring that it fits the coordinate system.
A Geopackage (.gpkg) file is a SQLite database, which allows storing and sharing spatial, vector and raster data. This facilitates the distribution of geographic information in an open and standardized format.

ArcGIS 10.X (including ArcMap and ArcCatalog) recognizes GeoPackage files as if they were geodatabases, which means that it is possible to access, view and work with the layers contained in a .gpkg file in a similar way to other ArcGIS-compatible geospatial formats.

However, ArcGIS 10.X does not support special characters in layer names, such as accents, the letter "ñ" or symbols. If the GeoPackage file contains layers with names that include these characters, the layer names must be modified before attempting to load the layers for display.
In the portal's datasets, you can view their star rating according to the guide developed by Tim Berners-Lee. This system shows the degree of openness and technical usability of a dataset.

The first star is awarded to any data that is open at a basic level and available under an open license. We can find PDF files or image formats such as JPEG, PNG or TIFF, which are difficult to reuse.

The second star relates to any data in a highly reusable structured format that can be read by a machine and understood by a person, such as XLS, DOC or MDB.

The third star corresponds to open data in a structured, non-proprietary format, for which free software has been used, making it easy to manipulate (CSV, XML, JSON, OpenOffice).

The fourth and fifth stars refer to the concept of Linked Data. In the fourth star, the data must be published on the page using URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) for its description. The use of the RDF standard is recommended, as it facilitates interoperability.

Finally, the fifth star is linked to the concept of linking data to each other, which allows linking to similar data from other people or organizations and which functions as a context for them. The format for this level is linked RDF.

The Open Data Portal of the Cabildo de Tenerife allows you to share or display data inan agile way on your own website.

From the home page, you can access the desired dataset by selecting the corresponding topic or category, accessing the latest or most viewed data or using the search engine .

Once the dataset has been selected, a list of the resources available will appear and by clicking on the View resource icon (an eye) of some of them we can access their visualization. At the bottom of this new visualization page we find the links that we can copy to share or embed in our own web the selected visualization of the data.

To share the resources that cannot be visualized in the portal you should use the link to the resource as explained in How can I use data from the portal and have them updated without downloading them continuously?
The main objective of the data that can be accessed on this portal is the development of accessible, efficient, secure and reliable digital services. To this end, to keep them updated, it is sufficient to use the URL of the required resource.

To do this, once we have accessed a dataset we position ourselves on the download icon (down arrow) of a resource, click on the right mouse button and select the option Copy the link address.
The selection of the topics/categories has not been made at random, but responds to the guidelines included in the so-called Technical Interoperability Standard for the Reuse of Information Resources (NTI-RISP) approved by Resolution of February 19, 2013, of the Secretary of State for Public Administrations.

The selection of a topic/category provides the user with the possibility of knowing the data available in the portal related to a specific subject.

The complete list of categories established by the Technical Standard can be found at the following link Taxonomy of primary sectors of https://datos.gob.es/es.

As an example, information on agriculture would be included in the Rural Environment category, information related to bus lines and schedules in Transport and historical heritage in Tourism, Culture and leisure or Urbanism and infrastructures.
