Casa Santiago
Anaga
Must-try dishes
Goat meat
Tuna in sauce
Croquettes
Visiting Casa Santiago is like arriving at a haven amidst the lush greenery of Anaga, just off the main road towards Las Cumbres, and stopping to enjoy a meal prepared in true island style: with local produce, cooked over an open fire, and breathtaking views. The restaurant boasts a privileged natural setting, with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Anaga massif and the ravine below, lending a sense of calm and spaciousness to your meal.
The menu blends traditional home-style dishes—such as escaldón de gofio (a type of cornmeal porridge), potaje (a hearty stew), and garbanzas (chickpea stew)—with grilled meats that many customers rave about. Specialties include fresh fish from the coast ("potas en salsa") and expertly cooked meats, prepared using wood from the property. The house wine is a simple yet elegant accompaniment, and the atmosphere is that of an easily accessible bar-restaurant, perfect for hikers or anyone seeking a relaxed meal surrounded by nature.
The service is friendly and informal: there are tables inside for dining, a bar for a quick drink, and a terrace for lingering a while. Parking can be limited, so arriving early is a good idea.
You'll love it if you're looking for good food, nature, and a peaceful break on your Anaga route. Casa Santiago combines honest cuisine, an authentic setting, and that "mountain food" flavor that makes a meal in a natural environment truly memorable.

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 Benijo
Benijo Beach, in northern Tenerife, is one of those places that seem like something out of this world. Wild, dark, and powerful, it combines volcanic sand with a rough sea and the silhouettes of rocks emerging from the Atlantic. It's ideal for those seeking pure nature, far from mass tourism. The sunset here is one of the most impressive on the island: the sun sets behind the rocks while the sea is tinged with gold and violet.
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
Tiburón Libre
Tiburón Libre, located at 44 Callao de Lima Street (Santa Cruz), is a technical and recreational dive shop that stands out for its extensive catalog of renowned brands such as Aqualung, Suunto, Cressi, Mares, and Suex, its technical service, and its very personal service. Here you can see and touch the equipment, order items they don't have, and get great prices without having to wait for orders. It's ideal for both frequent divers and those looking to get started.
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
El Tomadero
A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
