Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Whatever you do, donā€™t bypass the bustling capital, the handsome and friendly port of Santa Cruz, in your dash for the beach. Backing onto a superb range of undulating hills, this wholly Spanish city is home to grand architecture, sophisticated shops, a terrific spread of quality restaurants, riveting museums and art galleries, and a tropical oasis of birdsong, fountains and greenery.

Top ExperienceTenerife Espacio de las Artes (TEA)

This extraordinary modern art-museum has massively contributed to Santa Cruzā€™ importance as a cultural capital. The architecture of this stunning contemporary building is cutting edge, with three large, light-filled galleries displaying temporary exhibitions of art, photography and installation works, including the creative output of up-and-coming Spanish artists. The design of the library downstairs is simply a knockout.
