Om
Raske fakta: Cobblestone streets here follow the same layout laid out in the late 1400s, making it one of the oldest planned colonial towns in the Atlantic world. Its 500-plus preserved buildings earned it a UNESCO World Heritage designation in 1999.
Høydepunkter: Look down while walking the Calle de la Carrera: the original volcanic stone cobbles are polished mirror-smooth by 500 years of footsteps. On festive days, locals still sweep flower petals into elaborate carpets along these same stones, a tradition passed down for generations.
Insidertips
- Skip the tourist-heavy main plaza benches and find a courtyard table at the Palacio de Nava instead for people-watching.
- Wear flat grippy shoes: the polished volcanic cobblestones become glass-slick after rain.
- Photograph the Casa de los Capitanes at the golden hour, when its green balconies catch the low sun perfectly.
- Arrive before 11 AM if you want the 16th-century Cathedral of La Laguna nearly to yourself.
