La Laguna is a town on the northern part of Tenerife not far from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is considered to be the cultural capital of Tenerife. The historical centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna is one of the Canary Islands’ cultural treasures and is a representation of a colonial Spanish city without walls. It has the best preserved and most beautiful old towns in all of Tenerife and has held the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site since the end of the 20th Century.
San Cristóbal de La Laguna was the first city founded in Tenerife, in 1496 by Adelantado of the Canary Islands Alonso Fernández de Lugo and has been a source of inspiration for cities like Old Havana or Cartagena in Colombia.
