Festival Capital of the Canary Islands
The lively port of Santa Cruz offers the convenience of a modern city while maintaining its laid-back island appeal. As capital of the Canary Islands, Santa Cruz is a bustling mix of shops, restaurants, and hotels, nestled among beautifully historic buildings and monuments. Thousands of people flock to the lively streets of Santa Cruz for the renowned Carnival festival, arguably the most famous in all of Spain. The palm tree-lined shores of the city’s coast nicely contrast a backdrop of volcanic peaks and rolling green mountains.
