I’m Jhonty Rohdes, your trusted travel agent, and if you’re wondering what to do in Tenerife beyond beaches and volcanoes, let me take you on a journey through history in San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a charming colonial town located in the north of the island. With its cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and grand old mansions, La Laguna feels like stepping back in time. It was the original capital of Tenerife and still stands as a cultural and architectural gem.
Wander through the pedestrian-friendly streets, where every corner reveals a piece of Canarian history—from centuries-old churches like Iglesia de la Concepción to lively plazas and traditional courtyards. Don’t forget to stop at a local café or tapas bar to sample authentic island flavors.
