• Plaza de Vandale - Situated on the historic site where Captain Jacques de Brier once stood. The City Council later acquired this land and named it Vandale in honor of the renowned Flemish lineage.

Its distinctive paving is made of callao, pebbles, or rounded stones from the island’s coast. The botany features flamboyant trees, globally recognized for their unique foliage and vibrant orange-red flowers.

At the center stands Spain’s only Lo Divino Monument, a bronze piece paying tribute to the Christmas carolers and vocal groups that roam the streets during the nine nights leading up to Christmas.

• Santa Cruz de la Palma - The first democratic city council in Spain elected by universal suffrage.

Constructed in 1567 after a fire in 1953 destroyed part of the city, its two-story façade is the finest example of Renaissance civil architecture in the Canary Islands.

The spectacular mural by master Cossío in the staircase hollow is particularly noteworthy.

Among its heritage items are the Royal Banner of La Palma Island, a 17th-century country wood seat, and portraits of the Catholic Monarchs.

• Plaza De Espana - Considered the best Renaissance-style ensemble in the Canary Islands. It has been used for both religious events and as a central meeting point for citizens.

Open to the most commercial street, it houses beautiful properties such as the 17th-century Monteverde House and the 18th-century Casa Lorenzo. Also notable are the Public Fountain from 1588, the Church, and the El Salvador Bell Tower.

The center of the plaza is dominated by the Monument to Father Manuel Díaz, a key figure in early 19th-century politics, education, culture, and charity.

• Iglesia Matriz de El Salvador - A place of worship housing one of the world’s most significant collections of Flemish art.

Founded in 1500, it features three naves separated by pointed arches and a Mudejar-style roof that gives it an arabesque appearance. It contains numerous art pieces with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements of exceptional beauty.

• Sociedad La Investigadora (El Casino) - Headquarters of the Research Society, formerly the Massieu-Sotomayor family mansion, with interesting decorations, including a Mudejar-style living room and a room where the island’s Masons once met. It now promotes philanthropy, symbology, and philosophy, attracting numerous lodges during the 19th and 20th centuries.
• Plaza La Alameda - Created in the latter third of the 19th century as a place for public recreation and leisure, it is populated by Indian laurels and araucarias from Argentine and Chilean Patagonia, with two long side walkways designed for strolling.

At the center stands the La Alameda Kiosk, with an octagonal floor plan and arabesque columns, featuring sash windows and colored border windows. Dating from 1893, it commemorates the fourth centennial of the capital’s founding.

On May 3, 1493, Captain General Alonso de Lugo followed the tradition of nailing a wooden cross to the shore of the Barranco and celebrating a mass to mark the success of the Castilian campaign.

The cross is decorated with flowers every May 3.

• Museo Naval - Barco de la Virgen - Located next to the Castle of the Virgin, representing the dialogue every five years between the ship and the castle. Its promoters, descendants of sailors, shipbuilders, and maritime object collectors, modeled it after the Santa María, the ship Columbus took to America.

Its interior houses the Naval Museum, with various materials depicting local maritime life (maps, marine charts, ship models built in the city’s shipyards).

At the end of the tour, you can access the museum for a fee.

• Real Castillo de Santa Catalina - An ancient defensive system comprising several bastions, walls, and gateways providing access to the city from the north and south. At its entrance is a curvilinear pediment topped with the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs.

With a quadrangular plan and diamond points at its four corners, it was declared a Historical Artistic Monument by Decree in 1951. The fortress repelled attacks from pirates and French and English privateers (such as Patapalo and LeClercq).

• Balcones de la avenida Maritima - Painted by artists and photographers from around the world using pen, oil, or watercolor. These wooden balconies are the finest examples of Canary Islands’ outcrops. Their uniqueness lies in their “double balconies” of Lusitanian influence, reminiscent of Portuguese adufas.

They were designed to ventilate homes, taking advantage of the famous trade winds that sweep our coast. Many have covering boards at the ends that served as toilets, with waste falling directly into the ocean.

• Free tickets included

• If you wish to enter the Naval Museum at the end of the Tour, the price will be €4.

Santa Cruz de La Palma, the capital of the island, is fully recognized as an Asset of Cultural Interest, bearing the designation of Historical-Artistic Complex. It’s a destination worth checking out, primarily for its colonial flair, cobblestone paths, grand homes featuring in-house courtyards, picturesque plazas, and wooden balconies beautified with blossoms. O’Daly Street and Anselmo Pérez Brito Street closely followed by Real Street, which constitute the two central veins of our journey, teem with historical and commercial life in the Capital.
