Titolo 4
La Estrella del Mar
San Andres
Must-try dishes
Grilled seafood, grilled limpets, shrimp
Bar Restaurante La Estrella del Mar is one of those charming spots that give character to the seaside town of San Andrés, very close to the famous Las Teresitas Beach. It's not a large tourist restaurant or a sophisticated establishment: it's a traditional family business, where friendly service, simplicity, and authenticity make all the difference. Its history is intertwined with the neighborhood's traditions, and over the years it has become a meeting place for locals and visitors looking for good, unpretentious food.
Its cuisine revolves around the flavors of the sea. Fresh local fish, grilled or fried, are a highlight, along with squid, limpets, and octopus, as well as traditional stews reminiscent of home cooking. Typical Canarian dishes are also served, such as papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, gofio escaldado (a type of roasted grain flour), and marinated meats, always accompanied by local wine or ice-cold beer.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a simple yet charming style. Its location, right in the heart of town and close to the sea, makes it the perfect place to recharge after a day at the beach. Many visitors highlight the feeling of eating like they're at home, served by a family that has maintained the essence of the business for generations.
La Estrella del Mar is, ultimately, a restaurant that doesn't try to impress with luxury, but with what truly matters: hospitality, home-style cooking, and an authenticity that reflects the seafaring life of San Andrés.

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
Carnaval
Color, rhythm, and madness take over Santa Cruz every February with its famous Carnival, declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest. Creative costumes, giant parades, contests, and lots of music fill the streets day and night. From the Queen's Gala to the Burial of the Sardine, it's a vibrant experience that blends humor, tradition, and pure Canarian energy.
Beaches
Antequera
Antequera Beach is that hidden corner of Anaga that can only be reached by sea or after a challenging hike: black volcanic sand, colorful cliffs, and a wild atmosphere. Perfect if you're looking for relaxation, pure nature, and an uncrowded beach. Ideal for those who value authenticity and don't mind a bit of a hike.
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
PR TF 06
This trail is no walk in the park: it's Anaga in its purest form. You hike the PR-TF 6 knowing that steep inclines, rough terrain, and plenty of sun await you. It connects El Draguillo, Chamorga, and the Anaga Lighthouse, passing through isolated hamlets and along a wild coastline. Here, every step demands attention, but in return, you'll walk one of the most complete and challenging routes in the massif, with breathtaking scenery, rich history, and genuine silence.
