This morning we are visiting Santa Cruz on the Canary Island of Tenerife in Spain. Tenerife with a population of approximately 970,000, from which approximately 211.000 reside in Santa Cruz. The climate is almost perfect here, 18-20 C in the winter and 24-26 C in the summer months. The cost of living is very affordable here.
For today we are not going on a bus tour of the island, which
we did two years ago. At that time we didn’t have time to take in Santa Cruz. This morning we walked up the main street, as far as we could see. After reaching the top of the street, we took a coffee break. We planned to have some nice lemon cake with our coffee but when we put our fork into it and tasted it, we realized the cake was made out of potato. That explained the mayonnaise which was served with it. It actually tasted OK. After our potato break, we explored more small streets and more shops, occasionally stopping at a historical church or another historical building. Doing all this walking, it warranted a stop for a refreshment at one of the numerous street side patios. By now we were back at the port area and having put on over 10k steps, our legs were telling us that was good enough for a day.
What a beautiful city this was, combined with beautiful weather. A city where we could easily spend more time in.
