City life takes place in wide avenues, quiet squares and some very busy streets.
In its shopping areas one may find all sorts of items at very interesting prices. Santa Cruz rises like an amphitheatre from the sea-coast. It is a greatly important harbour which unites Europe, Africa and America with the arrival and departure of vessels from the whole world. Santa Cruz also offers historical, scientific and anthropological museums, as well as art galleries, cinemas and multi- cinema complexes, cultural centres and theatres. Santa Cruz's social and cultural life is intense, and the large extension of the municipality englobes very differentiated residential and rural areas, especially in the Anaga Natural Park, which due to its uniqueness and beauty deserve to be visited.
