The natural beauty of Canary Islands causes many people to choose hiking trails in Tenerife in the midst of nature. However, the Island has other types of images that also provide unique views and are found in urban environments.
With a historic center World Heritage as San Cristóbal de La LagunaIt is not surprising that it is chosen as one of the key places by those who visit us, but there are also other environments in coastal cities that attract lovers of walks.
In this case, we offer you some of the best urban tours of Tenerife to enjoy with family or friends:
Coast of Puerto de la Cruz
Cross port It is a perfect city for walking. Its urban route, close to the northern coast, offers idyllic images of the sea and the sky in which, on occasion, a paraglider can be seen flying through the skies. A simple tour adapted to all audiences will take you from Lago Martiánez to Playa Jardín through the heart of the city.
Enjoy a different afternoon touring the historic center, the most commercial streets or the Plaza del Charco. And, if you like street art, wander around and look for those works of art that street artists have left on the facades of the city.
Remember that you can extend this route that we propose to your liking, since from Puerto de la Cruz you can walk to La Gordejuela, for example, although in this case the route is a bit more complicated.
Historic center of La Laguna
One of the best urban walks that can be done in Tenerife is in the municipality of The lagoon. Its historic center, declared World Heritage by Unesco in 1999 invites tourists and residents to take a walk and discover new corners at every step. Walking through its pedestrian streets while appreciating the beauty of its historic facades is something that cannot be found anywhere. From the Plaza del Adelantado to the Iglesia de la Concepción and ending in the Plaza del Cristo, you can take a circular tour in which you can appreciate the historical remains of the City of the Adelantados.
Santa Cruz of Tenerife
The capital of Tenerife is also a good place to take an urban walk around the Island. The coast of the city is practically connected by a promenade that connects the area of the Maritime Park with the Teresitas Beach, a route that there are also many who choose to do it with the bike. During the journey you can enjoy the beauty of the sea, contemplate the boats at the dock, walk along Anaga Avenue and finish it off with a swim in Las Teresitas or on closer beaches such as valleseco.
But it is also possible to make an even more urban route, stroll along Calle Castillo and its surroundingsmain shopping areas of the capital, or visit the Parque García Sanabria and finish the tour, how could it be otherwise, having a drink in one of the many terraces in the city is, without a doubt, a perfect plan.
These are just some of the urban walks that we propose to spend a different day touring some of the most popular cities in Tenerife.
