Wonderful Spanish City - This is a beautiful city, and you will think you are in a typical mainland Spanish city, as it has all the big name shops, beautiful buildings, lovely squares/parks and narrow streets. Very vibrant as a result. So well worth a day’s visit or more.

You have to taste this ice cream - The merkado you shouldn't miss. Not only because of the nice images on the outside of the complex, the large number of providers, but certainly also because of what is said, the tastiest ice cream in Tenerife. A visit to Santa Cruz on this island is not complete without visiting the market halls.

A good day out - We caught the public bus from the Catalonia Punta del Rey to Santa Cruz. Very quick and around 1.85 euros per person each way. The bus station is large and convenient for getting to places. We walked to the very impressive Auditorium that is about 400 metres away. The adjacent park is also well worth a visit. We also went to the Museum of Modern Art which is in an impressive building. Between the bus station and the Museum is the Mercado Ntra. Señora de África. If you like markets then it's worth a stroll around. Overall we had a good 5hrs there and could have spent longer there.

Good start for staying in Santa Cruz - Knowledgeable local guide. Very informative. A good start for a stay in Santa Cruz and as carnaval was about to start it was fun to hear about the traditions. She also recommended places to go.

Left again after an hour! - It is ideal for cruisers who want to have solid ground under their feet after days at sea and can get back on the boat after 4 hours. We arrived one evening from Puerto de la Cruz for the opening of the Christmas market and left again after an hour. We couldn't find anything nice. The white tents made the Christmas market look like a UN refugee camp. All the tables in the restaurants were reserved and you couldn't get a table anywhere. Otherwise we couldn't find anything nice that would have made us want to stay.
