Santa Cruz is the bustling capital city of Tenerife on the island’s northeast coast.

The city, with impressive scenery and a beautiful climate, is also home to the busiest port in Spain, with ships, yachts and ferries frequenting it. Santa Cruz boasts the famous beach Las Teresitas. Its black volcanic sand, that is characteristic of Tenerife, is mixed with golden sand imported from the Sahara Desert.

Holidays in Santa Cruz can involve a great amount of shopping, as the city is renowned for its shopping opportunities. The colourful city centre streets are brimming with bright buildings, large shopping malls and quirky stalls.

History and culture can be found in the form of 16th and 18th century churches and a number of museums. A monument worth visiting is Tenerife’s Auditorium, a breathtaking white building with a roof that looks like the sail of a ship. The city park is a calm oasis from the hustle and bustle, with lush greenery and fountains.

All in all, Santa Cruz is a vibrant city with a distinctive Spanish flavour.
