Tour description

Did you know that Santa Cruz de Tenerife was not always the capital of the island? And that under its main square are the remains of an old castle? Discover these and many other curiosities on this interesting walking tour.

Itinerary:

We will meet at the Plaza España in Santa Cruz de Tenerife to begin a very special free tour. Are you ready?

We will first talk about the origins of this square and we will contemplate the historical buildings and monuments that surround it. We will see the Insular Palace, seat of the Cabildo de Tenerife , the Royal Casino and the obelisk in honor of the Virgin of Candelaria, the Patron Saint of the Canary Islands .

Later, we will descend to the underground of Plaza España to see the remains of the castle of San Cristóbal . We will travel back to the 16th century to discover how Tenerife defended itself against looting by pirates and other invaders. It will surprise you!

We will walk the streets towards the Church of San Francisco de Asís, the second most important parish in the city . After admiring its façade, we will go to the Príncipe de Asturias square . Nearby are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Círculo de Amistad XII de Enero , two emblematic buildings of the chicharrera capital.

We will continue walking towards the Market of Our Lady of Africa and you will have time to visit it.

The last stop on the free tour of Santa Cruz de Tenerife will be at the Iglesia de la Concepción, one of the oldest Catholic churches in Tenerife . Do you want to know its history?
We will say goodbye at this point and you will be free to continue enjoying the city.

Wir waren zum ersten Mal auf Teneriffa und wollten mehr über die Insel erfahren. Haben Ninas Tour gebucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Nina ist eine sehr positive, höfliche und hilfsbereite Person mit viel Wissen über die Insel(n). Meine Freundin und ich waren von der Tour begeistert und würden Nina als Guide jedes Mal weiter empfehlen.

Nina is the best guide somebody can have. So friendly but also professional. She knows all the places like nobody else, as she is living manny years in Tenerife. She is like a local, but explaining everything in your language (she speaks a lot of languages!). Amassing person, thank you very much, Nina and hope to see you again! ❤️
