A friendship club Tenerife of most elite friendship clubs Spain.

This club or circle of friends has its origins way back in 1855 in different locations, such as La Noria.

This Santa Cruz Tenerife society's exclusivity which is made clear by its green metral plaque outside in Spanish is surprising, indeed.

The so called friendship association of the Tenerife capital is dedicated to patriots and to the teaching to artisans. Also admitted may be young people of the upper middle class.

This renown Spanish club worships culture and arts of Santa Cruz Tenerife.

Many events are on its agenda. They range from folk dances over concerts to national sports events, for Karate, Tennis, Pelota and swimming amongst other. Cultural celebrations for carnival, May and summer festivals round them up.

This highly elite club for friendship in Spain settled in 1934 in its more recent form in its present house in C/ Ruiz de Padrón, 12 (Tel:922 246696) after 30 years of construction.

Three similar associations which were also private clubs were preceding. All were joint to become one friendship club.

The sculptures are by Edoardo Tarquis and Teodomiro Robayna. This house with its many European flags is almost a landmark in the middle of Santa Cruz. It's by the capital's downtown shopping streets behind Plaza de los Principes with its tiny park and big church San Francisco. It is right beside the Museo of Belas Artes (museum of the Beaux arts) which shows on the right edge of the photo above.

You may wonder, how this restricted club has been able to survive for one and a half centuries, while other famous clubs like that
of the Free Masons didn't pass the test of time. The latter's large ruin is proof of an earlier trend which has almost vanished within the new millenium.

Needless to say is that friendship clubs like the one of Santa Cruz Tenerife with its more than 20000 members needs space to accommodate during events. Well, there is the hotel Principe Paz. It is almost opposite the club. Yet, the facade of the popular Sercotel Hotel Principe Paz looks so humble compared with that of the house of friendships.

Address of the club of friendship Circulo Amistad

Another very great friendship club Tenerife is the Nifu-Nifa Carnival club.

It is much easier to become a member of the Nifu Nifa. All you need is to speak some Spanish and lots of love for the Tenerife Carnaval with all its humor and great carnival costumes.

Different architectural styles of yesterday and today:

It is remarkable, how romantic building styles, such as the one by the club Circulo de Amistad remain fashion. Yet an evolution of constructing turns to more practical Spanish architecture, such as at Hotel Mirador del Duque Adeje. There color, as well as landscaping with space, gardens, pools, and even a mall are important architectural highlights besides today's all important views.
