Santa Cruz

Castillo de San Juan Bautista and the white Auditorio de Tenerife on the seafront of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

The Castillo de San Juan Bautista is a 17th-century coastal fort in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, popularly nicknamed Castillo Negro, or “Black Castle”. Even though it looks modest in size, the Castillo de San Juan Bautista was the second most important fort in the defense of the city, after the older Castillo de San Cristóbal. […]

The Market of Our Lady of Africa in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (El Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África), Spain.
The Market of Our Lady of Africa, had three small squares with different groceries stalls, Canarias products, Spanish tapas, meats and many other local products. The whole design of the place had a very neoclassical colonial style. What I learned later struck a chord; that the architect of the Basilica of the Virgin of the Candelaria was also the exact same architect of this area.
Auditorio de Tenerife on a sunny day, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
The Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín is commonly known as Auditorio de Tenerife in Santa Cruz. This monument is also well-used as a joke named – “The Big Iron”. Despite many criticisms and change of names, it surely remains the VERY significant symbol of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the Canary Islands. In my opinion, it is one of the best representations of modern architecture and as a landmark, becomes real paradise for photographers.
