Santa Cruz, La Laguna & Las Teresitas

This is the short circuit close to the port, ideal for a shorter call ashore. Indeed, it combines the island capital, a UNESCO old town and a golden beach. Moreover, distances are short, so the pace stays relaxed throughout.

Capital, Old Town and Beach

In Santa Cruz you see the modern Auditorio on the waterfront, the market hall and the main squares of the capital. Afterwards, La Laguna follows, the former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whose grid of streets became the model for many colonial towns in the Americas. Finally, the beach of Las Teresitas curves along the coast, its golden sand brought from the Sahara.
