Biblioteca de Arte TEA
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
If you're looking for a quiet corner in the heart of Santa Cruz, the TEA Art Library is one of those places where you can stop, slow down, and disconnect from the city's hustle and bustle. Part of the Tenerife Arts Space, it stands out not only for its book collection but also for the building itself and the atmosphere inside.
The space is designed for reading, studying, or simply sitting quietly for a while. The moment you step inside, you'll notice a sense of calm that contrasts sharply with the noise of the nearby streets. The spacious tables, natural light, and clean interior design make it easy to concentrate or lose yourself for a while among books and specialized magazines.
The library has a strong focus on art, design, photography, film, and architecture, making it a particularly interesting place if you're interested in these subjects. But even if you're not looking for a specific book, the place works beautifully as a cultural haven within the city: you can browse publications, read peacefully, or simply enjoy the space.
Another major attraction is the TEA building itself, designed with a distinctive contemporary architecture. The interior courtyards, spacious corridors, and interplay of natural light create a truly special atmosphere that invites you to linger longer than planned.
If you're planning a visit to TEA or exploring Santa Cruz, spending some time in this library can be a welcome break. It's a place to sit, read peacefully, and disconnect for a moment from the city's frenetic pace.

Where to eat
Focacceria MassaMonti
Focacceria MassaMonti, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is an innovative establishment where focaccia is reinvented with high-quality, artisanal products. Highlights include their focaccia brioche bread, original fillings made with Italian ingredients, and a unique, flavorful, and expertly executed menu, perfect for enjoying at the counter or taking away.
What to see
Bocacangrejo
Bocacangrejo is a small fishing village on the northeast coast of Tenerife, very close to Santa Cruz, where the sea sets the pace and the houses face directly onto the Atlantic. Here you'll find a tranquil atmosphere, volcanic coves, waterfront terraces, and a distinct sense of a lived-in village. It's a place to stroll slowly, gaze at the sea, and enjoy leisurely meals.
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.
