Overview
Santa Cruz de Tenerife began its history on May 3, 1494. Since then, its port became a key point for routes to the New World, and in the 18th century, it consolidated its position as the most important port in the Canary Islands.
The struggle for the capital was intense, facing internal rivals such as La Laguna and Las Palmas, and external threats such as pirates, corsairs and the British. However, Santa Cruz forged itself with the effort of workers, the sacrifice of artisans and sailors, and the astuteness of merchants and traders.
We will tell you the exciting story of this undefeated city, which defeated British and nobles alike. The tour starts at the Plaza de España and ends at the Plaza de la Fundación, visiting the main points of interest:
- Plaza de la Candelaria and Palacio Carta
- Church of San Francisco de Asis
- Círculo de la Amistad XII de Enero (Friendship Circle)
- Príncipe de Asturias Square and Carnival
- Guimerá Theater and Recova Vieja
- General Serrador Bridge
- Nuestra Señora de África Market
- TEA: Tenerife Espacio de las Artes
- La Noria Neighborhood and La Concepción Church
