What you can expect
Discover Santa Cruz de La Palma in a different way; not just by walking its streets, but by understanding its history and present-day life with an official tour guide accredited by the Government of the Canary Islands.

During the tour, you will not only see landmarks, but you will also understand their significance. We'll pass by Santa Catalina Castle, linked to the city's defense against pirates, and continue on to Plaza de San Francisco, one of the most elegant squares in the city.
The tour then continues to Avenida Marítima, where you can admire the iconic wooden balconies facing the ocean, one of La Palma's symbols. You'll then stroll along Calle Real, the historic and commercial thoroughfare, 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 tour continues to the neighborhoods of San Telmo and San Sebastián, which we will reach by taking the La Luz elevator, enjoying a unique view of the cruise port and the city.
The tour ends at La Cosmológica, a symbol of the island's cultural and intellectual life.
Throughout the tour, you won't just hear about history; you'll understand it and connect it to the city today, in an intimate, engaging, and easy-to-follow experience.
