Santa Cruz, Tradition and Avant-garde on the Coast


The Canary Islands have picked up things from the many cultures that have passed through this land and have left their customs, activities and architecture.

Tenerife is such a magical island that offers so much to enjoy.


The capital of Tenerife Santa Cruz is a cheerful city that will transport you to a magical world- modern, increasingly cosmopolitan and enjoying fantastic views over the mountains and the sea.








Situated on the sea front, Plaza España is the heart of the city and is linking the shopping center to the sea.






The square is quite big and open with the centered pool, a really nice part of Santa Cruz.




This is a splendid area, the modern buildings and the pool make the square unique.





Close to Plaza España we found numerous cafes with terraces and views over the lake.

The atmosphere here is so vibrant and fun, it is so great to pause on a hot day, eat ice cream and enjoy the sun.


In front is the Port of Santa Cruz, the biggest harbor of the Canary Islands, with an area of about 12 km.








The harbor stretches from Santa Cruz to the fishing village of San Andres.


Around the important port are wide avenues, square, exotic landscapes.




We really enjoyed the pleasant walk revealing delightful views over the city.
