Detailed itinerary

1

This elegant square is one of Santa Cruz’s oldest and most central spots. Dominated by the marble monument to the Virgin of Candelaria—patron saint of the Canary Islands—it’s a popular meeting point filled with local history, surrounded by historic buildings and shops.

2

The largest square in the Canary Islands, Plaza de España is built over the ruins of a historic fortress. It features a beautiful lagoon-style fountain, modern design by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, and serves as a cultural and civic heart of the city.

3

This 16th-century church is the oldest in Santa Cruz and a prime example of Canarian colonial architecture. Its distinctive bell tower and wooden balconies reflect traditional island craftsmanship and deep religious roots of the city.

4

Built in 1851, this neoclassical theater is the oldest in the Canary Islands. Named after Catalan writer Àngel Guimerà, it hosts concerts, plays, and festivals. The façade and architecture echo the cultural pride of 19th-century Santa Cruz.

5

An architectural mystery and one of the most unique Masonic temples in Spain, this early 20th-century building is full of symbolic detail. Though not open to the public, its façade draws intrigue and admiration.

This charming Baroque-style church stands on the site of a former Franciscan convent. With its serene interior and beautiful altarpieces, it's a peaceful stop filled with spiritual and historical depth.

Built in the 17th century to defend the coast from pirates and invaders, this “Black Castle” played a key role in repelling Admiral Nelson’s attack in 1797. It’s one of the best-preserved fortresses in Santa Cruz.

As you ride past, catch a glimpse of this colorful mosaic made from past Tenerife Carnival posters. It’s a lively tribute to one of the world’s largest and most famous carnival celebrations.

10

This grand government building is the seat of the Island Council of Tenerife. Its stately design and central location reflect its importance in island politics and public life. The nearby monument honors the fallen of the Spanish Civil War.
