Santa
Cruz de Tenerife,
with a population of approximately 300.000, is the capital of the Island and of
the Province. The city, open to the sea, has always shown a marked cosmopolitan
character. This is due mainly to the sea port where millions of visitors and
tourists have come and gone favouring the cultural enrichment of the region.
Santa
Cruz, today, is an attractive, modern and dynamic European city which offers
all types of services. Firstly it is surprising how agreeable it is to go for a
walk through its streets. In the city one breathes a quality of life very
difficult to find anywhere else.

find a variety of museums and exhibition halls, the famous Güimera
Theatre, of which we will talk about in the web with detail, the Auditorium,
