Very nice beach, easily accessible, with a large parking lot. Bars/restaurants and toilets right on the beach. Thanks to the breakwaters and the gradual entry into the water, it is also suitable for families with small children. The disadvantage is the larger number of visitors, in the season it is really a lot of people

A very nice beach with samd from Sahara, yellow golden colour. The water is clear and 100 metres in there is a wall of rocks that stops the waves, so even during strong winds, the water remains calm 👌

However original I would like to be, it is an excellent beach. It is not natural, but it fits the coastal view perfectly. I was amazed that despite being a super fancy beach with tons of parking and easily accessible from a vibrant capital, it’s really laid-back and relaxed, with lots of natural shade, enough facilities for everyone, etc. The sea bottom is empty, but the ships waiting in the roadstead on the horizon compensate for that.

A very clean, sandy beach with several free parking areas nearby, which is extremely convenient. The only downside is that the water was quite cold during my visit. Still, it’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings

Playa de las Teresitas is a picturesque destination, accessible via both a car and public transit. Its close proximity to the city center makes it an ideal spot for visitors. The extensive shoreline provides ample capacity, ensuring a comfortable experience for all. Amenities include natural shade provided by rows of palm trees, complemented by available sun loungers and umbrellas, which are typically offered at a modest daily rate (e.g., two sun loungers and an umbrella for approximately €6). The waters were calm and warm, when we visited, which created an outstanding swimming environment. Turning inland from the vast blue ocean, visitors are afforded a serene, dramatic view of the nearby mountains, which often appear veiled in clouds above the palm-lined foothills. Furthermore, the beach provides adequate, though modest, restroom and changing room facilities. There are bars where you can get something to drink or eat.

The sand is from Sahara. Yellow and golden, the water is clear and your've got rocks further down to block the waves off so the water stays flat during the wind. Its a great place

We read so many good things about this online but actually were dissapointed. The beach is nice and sandy and we understand that these are rare in tenerife but tbh, we would much rather choose a black sandy beach or even a few stones over this. It's right in the industrial area of santa cruz. There were about 10 big tanker ships and oil tanks laying in the bay. It felt so weird going into this beautiful water looking at them. There is 100% better beaches on tenerife. We would not return and not recommend to drive there.

I would like to give minor comment and feedback for this market. Here is having Africa goods also. And one lady is selling nice drawing of Africa. Highly recommend to buy it if people never go to Africa. It's very nice lady and products. Just my personal opinion. I like it, I like her kindness. I wanted to contribute her. Thank you read my silly personal opinion.

Really a very visited place and full of people from very early, with a variety of jewelry products, jewelry and very wide food. Especially the very nice fruits, the seasonings with a spectacular smell and the meats looked very good. The old place but very cozy and clean and the super nice people.

This market place, known as Mercado Nuestra Señora de África, dates from the early forties. It closes at two pm and is mostly busy during weekends. It is a very popular place, both for locals and tourists, to shop for daily fresh produce, artisan goods, and authentic Canarian delicacies. Besides the many stalls, you will also find a variety of bars and food counters. The fish food stalls at the lower level offer delicious dishes to enjoy with some wine. Depending on the catch of the day, you may opt for either of the many counters.

Very interesting market. Loads of variety. Recommend checking out the seafood market and stopping for a glass of wine. I went when it was closing but highly recommend getting there earlier to better appreciate the place. Parking can be tricky.

We went twice, but it was a bit disappointing. The first time we went on a public holiday. The hotel reception said everything will be open in the capital, which was the opposite… But after reading the reviews and the history we went back on a weekday. After a 1,5 hrs bus ride we arrived at 11.15 hrs, and unfortunately most stands were closed or about to close. We wanted to see some plants and flowers. I think if everything is open the experience is different. And it might be a vibrant place. We bought an Argentinian empanada and some fruits. The empanada was okay. I personally like the Caribbean empanadas due to the spices they use. Don’t buy fruits from an Indian lady! She sold us the wrong products and misinformed us. She sells a lot of unripe produce which you can throw away, because it will not ripen. We bought 4 different fruits and all rotten or doesn’t ripe, even after several weeks. The market hall is pleasant to walk, with enough benches and a nice ambiance. But that’s the only positive experience I had.

If you are in port, this is a great place to see a little of everything the canaries offer. Great Gelato, coffee, artisans and a host of produce and other food.

Great place lots to see, amazing fruit and veg, wonderful hand made crafts.

Another wonderful work of the talented architect Calatrava. The same sci-fi aspect as his other creations. The Auditorio reminds me of the Palau de les Arts in Valencia. Amazing architecture! On the website it says that guided tours are organized to visit the interior, but when I sent an e-mail to the official address asking for some details, they didn't bother to answer. A bad mark in the communication section. On the ground floor is a cafe with an outdoor terrace with a beautiful view.

A true architectural gem of Tenerife. The Auditorio looks like something from the future — bold, elegant, and unforgettable. Whether you go for a concert or just to admire the design, it’s absolutely worth it. Standing by the ocean, it feels like art meeting nature. One of the island’s must-see landmarks.

On the edge of Santa Cruz. Excellent free parking and lovely walks to nearby Castle huge swimming pool complex and Botanic gardens. Short walk into Marins and historic centre . Auditorium is a really impressive architectural structure which one can enter free to explore .

This is a fantastic venue, amazing architecture, a very varied programme, quite a few free concerts and also a nice coffee shop with a great view of the sea.

Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín is breathtaking! The architecture is iconic, the acoustics are incredible, and every performance feels special. A must-visit landmark in Santa Cruz—beautiful inside and out, and truly unforgettable. Walk along the back side along the water break to see portraits painted on several of the retaining wall blocks.

The building is fantastic, great island icon. Go for the guided tour. You just need to show up at the ticket office and they are very accommodating. We had a private tour in the beginning of the day. The inside of the rooms is surprising.

Unfortunately was closed to visitors on the day we went as there was some filming going on. There is a large car park close to it and was free. For some reason google maps was trying to take us via a convoluted route which was bizarre, so just apply common sense when you're getting close to the building which you can't miss.

An excellent Botanic Garden established on reclaimed land originally used for landfill. Separate planting areas reflecting on different geographical regions of the world with diverse and unique plants relative to each area. Interesting botanical specimens. Variety of birds and wildlife inc birds -Hoopoe and White Egret, Moorhens and many more species. Lots of lizards. Spent 3hrs on site. Reasonable price entry 6€. Car park free.

Reasonable walk for the cruise port. 4000 steps on the fit bit. Had a great time seeing the variety of palms and flowers. Several made use investigate even further. Excellent vistas for photos. Several different birds were present for our visit which added to the trip.

In a nut shell :Beautiful and Fascinating Botanical Garden. We came here by chance. Our original plans were cancelled, so we decided to visit this garden instead. It was a pleasant 25 minutes walk from our hotel in the city center, mostly along the ocean. On the way we passed the large and beautiful market of Santa Cruz, the impressive Tenerife Auditorium, and more. When we arrived, we paid €6 per adult and were about to go in, when we were asked if we wanted to join a guided tour included in the price. Of course we said yes. And it was a very good decision. We joined Agostino, who gave us a private tour that was truly interesting and informative. We first learned that Agostino is a retired teacher from the Tenerife education system, with a degree in botany and a huge love for plants and for people. He does this as a volunteer every Friday. We were lucky to arrive at the right time. With his guidance, we got to know the different sections of the garden, each representing a country or region of the world. The main focus of the garden is palm trees. It holds one of the largest collections of different palm species from all over the world. There are also many other plants and trees. For example, he showed us a special development from Tenerife: blue bananas and red bananas. They look like bananas and you peel them like bananas, but they have a unique taste. Everything is very well maintained and aesthetic, while keeping the natural conditions needed for the plants. We also learned that the garden was established in 1995 on the old landfill of Santa Cruz. There are a few points in the garden where gas is still released from underground, but apart from that, you would never guess this used to be a huge dump. For those arriving by car, there is a large free parking lot right next to the garden entrance. In short, it’s a beautiful and fascinating place. Agostino’s guided tour added a lot of depth and interest, and really elevated the whole experience. With or without a guided tour, this garden is highly recommended.

This was hands down the best place on the island for me and my family! We liked it soo much , just beautiful! I would recommend this to anyone for a few hours trip .. 😁

It's unique. Plants are very different from other places we visited. Also, how were created different microclimate areas But for us most interesting was the history behind the creation of the park .

Fabulous free guide by volunteer called Augusto. Gardens are amazing, a lot bigger than we expected. Only 6€ for an adult to enter.

This was really dissapointing. We payed 6€ per person to get in (it does not seem much but usually these are supported by the government and run on a donations. We thought we would maybe get a little map or something to find our way around but nothing. When we started walking through this, a lot of paths were closed off for maintenance work (we could have been informed about this) and to be honest, as you can see, most of the plants looked very unhealthy. The idea of this little "island" seems great but although they charge for it, the do not seem to take good care of everything. I know this sounds harsh but every roundabout we drove through in tenerife had more love and were better taken care of then this. We would defintily not recommend visiting and would not return.

If you're only in Tenerife for vacation, don't go there. Even if you have seen everything, it still feels like a waste of time. Besides, the majority of the information there is displayed only in Spanish even if it seems that only the tourists visit it. The museum feels forgotten and outdated, full of light-bleached pictures, old non-working TVs and walls of text. Moreover, in places the text has low contrast which makes it hard to read. The building has 3 floors. We spend around 2 hours there and saw most of the expositions. There is very little interactivity so going through the museum can feel quite boring and tedious. It's a shame because there are many interesting expositions that with a little update and more cohesive layout could make this museum a lot more enjoyable. Only time to go there is from 4 PM on Fridays and Saturdays when the visits are FREE. Don't try going earlier because they'll make you wait until it's 16:00.

Amazed by this museum, worth every penny... if you like to learn about the Canary islands and find out about their history, nature, and so on. This is the place, it covers it all. It also has artefacts of other islands, countries that once ruled the islands

A good museum with a wide variety of exhibits. Unfortunately, I couldn't read any explanations because everything was in Spanish. My boyfriend was able to translate some things for me. The mummies were a bit scary, but very interesting.

There are not many museums in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This is one of the biggest. Quite interesting. You can see naturalized animals and birds, a beautiful collection of insects (many extremely beautifully colored butterflies), fossils, interesting rocks, archeological discoveries made on the island and even some mummies of the ancient inhabitants of these places. I didn't like the structure of the museum building, it's quite difficult to follow a path through the exhibitions without missing something or without passing the same place twice.

Very nice. On top of archeological topics I liked the detailed description and explanation of the Tenerife's nature: both fauna and flora. With climate details. For sure worth seeing!

Highly recommend if you want to learn about the Natural History of the islands. Excellent explanations. Sadly there is no one around to ask questions. Some videos and interactive games were out of service. I recommend this place.

I liked it, not too big, clean, there were interesting crystals, fishes and Canarian pictures. There isn't much interactivity, kids were bored. But we got there for free, so thanks!
