Must-try dishes
Focaccia
Focacceria MassaMonti is one of those places that surprises you from the very first bite. Located in Santa Cruz, it offers a modern and creative take on focaccia, focusing on artisanal products, Italian ingredients, and unusual yet perfectly balanced combinations.
The star of the show is their focaccia brioche bread, soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Among the standout options are the Provola, with Italian cooked ham, melted provolone cheese, house-made mayonnaise, and arugula; or the Ibérico Romana, with crispy guanciale, red pepper, paprika aioli, and aged Manchego cheese—an intense and flavorful focaccia. Other noteworthy offerings include the brioche with chorizo criollo and the focaccias with guanciale and cherry tomato sauce.
For a sweet treat, they create their own desserts, such as the Sicilian cannoli, crispy on the outside and filled with cream and hazelnut cream with cocoa—the perfect way to end your meal.
The place is small, clean, and tidy, designed primarily for eating at the counter or ordering takeout, with just one table and somewhat uncomfortable seating if you decide to eat in. It's not a particularly comfortable spot for lingering after a meal, but it compensates with fast, friendly, and professional service.
The product quality is very high, and the prices are reasonable for what they offer, although occasionally there can be some inconsistency in the size of the bread or the amount of filling, which is a bit jarring in such a carefully crafted menu. Even so, the flavor and originality outweigh the drawbacks.
In short, MassaMonti is a focaccia shop with personality, ideal for those looking for something different, well-made, and with an Italian identity, and a highly recommended spot within Santa Cruz's culinary scene.

Where to eat
Lucky Helado
If you're in downtown Santa Cruz and fancy something cold while strolling around Plaza de España, Lucky Helado is a very convenient option. It's a takeaway shop with a variety of ice creams and fast service, ideal for a quick stop before continuing your walk. Perfect for cooling off without any hassle right in the city center. There are often queues.
What to see
Biblioteca de Arte TEA
If you need a quiet place in the heart of Santa Cruz to stop for a moment, the TEA Art Library is perfect for escaping the city's hustle and bustle. Here you can sit and read, study, or simply spend some time in silence surrounded by books and contemporary architecture. The space is spacious, bright, and very pleasant, ideal for those seeking tranquility, culture, and a different atmosphere within the city.
Activities
Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino
The Valle Colino Regional Shelter in La Laguna is Tenerife's main shelter for abandoned animals. In addition to caring for and sheltering dogs and cats, it offers the opportunity to volunteer in its daily work: walking animals, helping with cleaning them, or assisting with adoption campaigns. A caring and emotionally rewarding experience for animal lovers.
Beaches
Playa de la Nea
La Nea Beach in Radazul is a volcanic black sand beach perfect for lingering. It's very close to Santa Cruz, but the atmosphere here is calmer, with a breakwater that softens the waves and a promenade along the entire shore. It's a comfortable beach, well-integrated into the surroundings and very popular with locals.
Nightlife
Urban 180
If you enjoy sipping a drink with city views and continuing the night without leaving one spot, Azotea Urban 180 is one of those rooftop bars I love to visit. Located on the seventh floor of the Hotel Urban Anaga in Santa Cruz, it shows: you get a panoramic view of the city, the sunsets take on a whole new dimension, the music and cocktails liven up the atmosphere, and as night falls, the place transforms into a lively rooftop club with a great vibe and people ready to have a good time.
Shopping
7 Islas 7 Quesos
At 7 Islas 7 Quesos, you'll feel like you've stepped into a little paradise for cheese lovers. They offer Canarian products made from sheep, goat, and mixed cheeses, from fresh to semi-cured, as well as artisanal spreads and almogrotes, including a pistachio one that will win you over. The service is friendly and they'll advise you based on your preferences. If you're looking for quality, authentic cheeses, and a personal touch, this is the place.
Sports
Santa Cruz Extreme
The Santa Cruz Extreme is an iconic mountain race in Tenerife, which runs through Anaga Rural Park and finishes in Santa Cruz. It has several categories (60 km, 33 km, 18 km, 10 km, and a vertical race), with steep slopes, routes along trails, and traditional farmhouses. Held in October, it attracts runners of many nationalities; it is also notable for its sustainable approach and for promoting the natural and rural value of Anaga.
Trekking
Sendero Los Catalanes
The Los Catalanes Trail, in the Anaga Mountains, combines rural history and spectacular landscapes. It's a medium-difficulty route that connects old farmhouses through terraced fields, laurel forest, and sea views. The contrast between the humid vegetation and the remains of traditional Canarian life make this route an authentic experience, highly representative of the greenest and most peaceful side of Tenerife.
