From the capital of the island of Tenerife ,we have also committed ourselves during this world crisis. During the state of emergency, as already decreed, all non-essential services will remain closed (restaurants, shopping centres, cafes, etc).In addition, Santa Cruz’s tourist bus and train services, as well as museums and other tourist attractions, will also remain closed. We want to remind all those tourists who have not been able to leave the island, that it is necessary for them to stay confined to their accommodation for the established period of time, and that it is only allowed to go out on the streets to meet their basic needs.

As for transportation by plane and ship, you can visit the following web pages; Binter, ( [ http://www.bintercanarias.com/  | www.bintercanarias.com ] ) Fred Olsen ( [ http://www.fredolsen.es/  | www.fredolsen.es ] ) and Naviera Armas ( [ http://www.navieraarmas.com/  | www.navieraarmas.com ] ) , for updated information. As of March 19, in order to travel by boat, it is necessary to justify that it is a trip for a greater cause, providing at the time of boarding a responsible statement, which can be downloaded at Naviera Armas [ https://bit.ly/2QoVxbm  | https://bit.ly/2QoVxbm  ] o Fred Olsen [ https://bit.ly/2ITzfKC  | https://bit.ly/2ITzfKC  ] .
We want to transmit a message of calmness and tranquility, since this situation is not ideal for anyone. Together we can overcome this situation, and Santa Cruz will once again be the city full of life that we know.

Plaza de La Candelaria and Plaza de España

 
 

Plaza de La Candelaria and Plaza de España

Anaga

The Anaga Rural Park, declared a World Biosphere Reserve, has managed to conserve its natural features to an exceptional extent. The outstanding toughness of the mountains rising from the nearby coast is an image which is as attractive as it is unusual, but if you really want to enjoy it you should walk some of the numerous footpaths and get to one of the enchanting coves with their fine and brilliantly exotic black sand (such as Benijo Beach) which are scattered around this coast.

 
 

Carnival

This is an appointment with the unique rhythm, colour and flavour of a festival which comes right from the heart on Tenerife and is exported to the world, which watches in awe of the succession of spectacles which distinguish it as a “Fiesta of International Tourist Interest”. It also holds a Guinness record as it is the setting for the greatest show of dancing in the open air with 200,000 dancers. It is considered to be one of the best Carnivals in the world together with Río de Janeiro and Venice.

The Area of the Swimming-pool Complex (Parque Marítimo)

The Tenerife Adán Martín Auditorium, the work of Santiago Calatrava, is a building which makes a powerful sculptural impact. Located in a landscape setting including the Swimming-pool Complex, the posthumous work of the artist César Manrique created with such natural elements as volcanic rocks, ornamental plants and sea-water swimming-pools and the Tenerife Palmetum, built on an old rubbish dump, which is considered to be the largest collection of palm trees from tropical islands around the world.

Plaza Weyler and Calle Castillo

The most popular and bustling of the city, which owes its name to General Valeriano Weyler, is also one of the most charming squares. It is the starting point of Calle del Castillo, it is surrounded by huge ficus that shade its benches and adorned by a beautiful fountain of carrara marble from the 19th century. Among its gardens and stone walks there is a kiosk where you can take a break and, why not, see how the day goes by.

Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín (Tenerife Adán Martín Auditorium)

Its white and groundbreaking figure, coined by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava, is already an icon of the city which stands out in front of the sea. In this surprising building, symbol of modern Santa Cruz, the best shows of the island come together: concerts of classical music, dance, opera, jazz, pop and rock. To learn something about it, nothing better than make use of its service of guided visits.

García Sanabria Park

 
 

San Francisco Church

This baroque Catholic church is next to the square that bears its name. Visiting it means discovering the ‘lord of tribulations’, a carving made with corn paste much loved by local people, and contemplating its central altarpiece. The surroundings also deserve a glimpse: colonial houses with beautiful balconies, centennial ficus, a quiet square and a cobbled street full of terraces and restaurants.

La Concepción Church

A must for lovers of the Baroque, the main parish of Santa Cruz, which began to be constructed in the 15th century, is an authentic architectural jewel and a true reflection of the Canarian colonial airs. The stonework of its façade, its wood-panelled balconies and its Hispano-Arabic style coffered ceilings coexist perfectly with its neoclassical structure and imposing tower, which dominates the old town.
