Terrace Of The Atlantic, An Oasis In The City.
The city of Santa Cruz transmits a happy and relaxed rhythm to its inhabitants. It usually enjoys sunny weather throughout the year, and at night, temperatures rarely drop below 15 degrees.
If you have already seen the photos of the apartment, surely you will have noticed one of its most outstanding qualities; a private terrace with panoramic views of the city. It is equipped with a fridge, heated shower, electric iron, hammocks, Balinese bed, and an original wooden boat where you can sit and contemplate the horizon. It also has 600 Mb Wi-Fi, also in the house, cable TV (Orange) and multiple power outlets. In short, everything you need to relax, and so that your days can be just as productive as in the office, but in an open space in the heights.
In the afternoon, if you go up before sunset, you will be able to take advantage of the last rays, and cool off with a warm water shower, while contemplating the horizon. On clear days and nights, you can see the island of Gran Canaria, and usually the weather is so nice that it will rarely prevent you from enjoying an evening under the stars.
This ideal climate invites you to enjoy it day and night, in its numerous terraces (Avenida de Anaga, Calle de La Noria, Municipal Market "Nuestra Señora de África"), less than 1 km away, the popular weekly flea market, on Sundays in la mañana, (500 m.), or its long and flat port avenue, ideal for relaxing walks and going from one end to the other, or practicing any sport in the open air.
If you walk the avenue in a southwesterly direction, you will arrive at the Palmetum, which claims to be the largest collection of palm trees in Europe, or the Auditorio de Tenerife (architect Calatrava), which is just over 1 km away.
If you follow it in a northwesterly direction, you will arrive at the town of San Andrés and Las Teresitas beach, at a distance of about 9 km, from where you can head towards El Bailadero, and reach the beaches of Taganana (Guanche name, from translation "zone surrounded by mountains"), which is a Biosphere Reserve of great beauty and natural value.
On the contrary, if you continue in the direction of Igueste de San Andres, you will arrive at the town of the same name, and you will pass by the viewpoint with views of Las Teresitas, from where you will see a panoramic view of the beach, common on social networks.
You will also pass by Las Gaviotas beach, which, like those of Taganana, all have black sand, like most of those on the island.
If you can choose, it is advisable to visit them during the week, due to the large influx of people on the weekend.
The apartment is located in the center of the city, and you have all the services you may need during your stay, about 5 to 10 minutes on foot, such as taxis, paid parking, supermarkets, or the tram stop, 50 meters from the door of the apartment. Getting on it in the direction of the interchange station, you can continue your bus trip to almost any point on the island.
Conversely, if you come by bus from any airport or area of the island, you can take the tram at the interchange to get to the apartment. You only have to look at the tower of the Church of La Concepción, and from the moment you see it, you will know where you have to get off. You can also continue to the last stop on the line (45 minutes), and you will arrive at San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a world heritage city, whose visit is highly recommended.
As for paid parking, there are three in the area, which offer vouchers for 24 or more hours, for less than 10 euros per day. In addition, there is free parking on the street (those with a broken white line).
On weekends you have to pay attention to the signage, because there are a multitude of parking lots that are canceled during Saturday night (on Bravo Murillo avenue). The reason is the celebration of the "Rastro", an open-air market, of all kinds of products, new and second-hand, which opens every Sunday morning, and is located less than 500 meters away.
The church of La Concepción stands out in the landscape of the city. It is built on the exact spot where the first church on the island was erected. In front of the apartment you can see a stone cross, replacing an original wooden cross, which is inside the church.
The place was chosen symbolically, to mark the conquest of Tenerife, the last of the Canaries to fall to the conquerors (1494-1496 AD).
The west face of the tower marks the beginning of La Noria street, whose name also usually identifies the surrounding neighborhood. Throughout its route, you will see an infinite number of terraces and restaurants, where you can enjoy a multitude of dishes from the most varied origins.
The area is highly recommended if you want to enjoy good gastronomy in an authentic atmosphere. If you are looking for local food, I recommend that you go to the north of the island, and try one of the almost 1000 "guachinches" that exist. Ask me and I will recommend the best sites.
In the previous months and during February, you can listen to the musical rhythms of the Murgas, musical groups that are an important part of the Carnival of Tenerife, and they rehearse in the nearby venues, to appear in the many contests that make it up. If you are in the apartment at that time you cannot miss it, it is a unique spectacle.
In short, if you come to telework, to tour the island, with friends or family, and want to enjoy the beach, sunny weather and good food, I recommend that you value this option, I assure you that you will not regret it. And if you want to ask me any questions to make your stay more pleasant, I am at your entire disposal.
At this point, I hope you want to come to our apartment, so you can enjoy it all. We will be delighted to receive you.
We will wait for you!!
