If you are looking for a vibrant and cultural city in the Canary Islands, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the place to go. This port city is the capital of Tenerife, the largest and most diverse island in the archipelago. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the Carnival, one of the most spectacular in Spain, or explore the fascinating museum of natural science and archaeology. You can also admire the historic church of La Concepción, with its Mudéjar ceilings and bell tower, or relax in the Plaza de España, with its artificial lake and sailboat-shaped auditorium. For a beach break, hop on a bus to Playa de Las Teresitas, a golden sand beach with palm trees and clear water.
