What you can expect

Discover Santa Cruz de La Palma in a different way; not only by walking its streets, but by understanding its history and present-day life with a live tour guide accredited by the Government of the Canary Islands.

The experience begins at the Barco de la Virgen, where you'll learn how this city became a key point on the Atlantic routes between Europe and the Americas. From here, you'll begin a walk through the historic center, where each place has a story to tell.

During the tour, you will not only see monuments, but you will also understand their meaning. We'll pass by the Castillo de Santa Catalina, linked to the defense against pirates, and continue on to the Plaza de San Francisco, one of the most elegant spaces in the city.

The tour continues to Avenida Marítima, where you can see the iconic wooden balconies facing the ocean, one of the icons of La Palma. Then, you'll walk along Real Street, a historical and commercial hub, where you'll discover how everyday life in the city has evolved.

In Plaza de España, the historic heart of Santa Cruz de La Palma, you'll learn how social and political life was organized in different eras.

The experience continues towards the neighborhoods of San Telmo and San Sebastián, which we'll access via the Ascensor de La Luz, enjoying a unique perspective of the harbor and the city.

The tour ends at La Cosmológica, a symbol of the island's cultural and intellectual life.

Along the way, you won't just hear history; you'll understand it and connect it to the city today, in an engaging, dynamic, and easy-to-follow experience.
