Please, view Santa Cruz special map for city center shopping which gives good idea of size of city, as well. Growing Tenerife City:
Tenerife's capital seems to win in size because the town La Laguna is only about 7km away. Also, La Laguna university which was founded in 1792 has 2 locations that serve the island of Tenerife. One part is in La Laguna, the other is on one side of the freeway next to the island's biggest hospital between La Laguna and the capital. Residential areas seem to be next to it which stretch towards Santa Cruz. In the same spot on the opposite site is a large commercial center with IKEA and Alcampo just being one of the superstores. An industrial area is joining on towards the capital.Hence all those big complexes fill the gap between the capital and la Laguna. In the south of Santa Cruz large commercial centers are joining on. The same happens in other directions with more residential areas. All this gives the impression of one big city. Travel routes and methods of Public Titsa transport had to be adjusted, altered and, expanded to serve a maturing city and, island. Santa Cruz is getting its city features for infra structure right.

On the trade side is its Free Port as well as the Congress Center for trade fairs called Recinto Nacional de Ferias that do their part for image of a city. Culture and tourism of this young Tenerife City are getting a boost by excellent museums like Museo del hombre y de la naturaleza , very large parks such as Parque Garcia Sanabria give credit to a city. Palmetum is a man made huge palm park and should be called a museum for palms. Then there is the lido Parque Marítimo César Manrique as well which is next to the innovative, world recognized auditorium music and opera house. Big, hotels and countless good restaurants do their rest for the appeal of a city. All that is missing is a prestige beach resort at Playa las Teresitas by the city.
