San Cristóbal de La Laguna was capital of Tenerife since the beginning of Spanish colonization at the end of the 15th Century. Only with the growing importance of the new port in the north-east of the island the seat of government moved in 1723 to Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Today, the university town of La Laguna and Santa Cruz has grown into a metropolis. The rich history remains preserved in the numerous stately homes of the old town, declared by UNESCO as world cultural heritage. Here you can enjoy the beautiful Canary wooden balconies, magnificent patios and decorated facades with a tour or stroll around the many shops, bars and restaurants in the pedestrian streets of La Laguna.
The churches and monasteries of the city are also worth a visit and show the importance of the settlement, which was created on a fruitful plane at a previous lake. The Tower of the famous Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción offers the best overview of the historical treasures of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. In the church there is a large baptismal font in glazed ceramic, which is even from before the Spanish conquest.
The central location between the north and the south coast of Tenerife, at the foot of the ridge on which a road leads up to many scenic views to Mount Teide and the proximity to the overwhelming nature of the Anaga Mountains with numerous hiking trails, make the city in addition to a special attraction. Beaches are on the wild north coast, and the protected tyellow beach Las Teresitas in Santa Cruz is only 12 km away.
