Tour Overview

We'll gather at a designated central location at the scheduled time to kick off a complimentary tour showcasing the highlights of Santa Cruz in Tenerife. Are you prepared? Let's embark on this journey!

One of the key attractions we will visit is the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, widely regarded as one of the most genuine venues in the city. This stunning neo-colonial structure with Mudejar influences is a sight for the senses. Together, we will wander through its aisles, filled with stalls offering exotic fruits, spices, fresh fish from the Atlantic, and beautiful flowers.

Adjacent to the market is the Teatro Guimerá, the oldest theatre in the Canary Islands. Its neoclassical exterior serves as a reminder of Santa Cruz's role as an artistic center. How many orchestras and theatre troupes have graced this historic stage? We will uncover the tales behind it!

We will also explore Plaza España, which has served as the city's heart for generations. Were you aware that the Castle of San Cristóbal once occupied this site? It was a crucial fortress that protected Tenerife from pirate raids and foreign invasions, including the notable attempt by Admiral Horatio Nelson in 1797. We'll share the fascinating history!

Our excursion will wrap up after a 2-hour exploration in the centre of Santa Cruz.
