Embark on a unique tour through the heart of the historic centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage City, with an official guide and historian who will reveal its most emblematic corners, as well as its best-kept secrets.
Our route kicks off in Plaza de la Junta Suprema, a key historical enclave in the island's political life. From there, we'll start a walk along the iconic Calle San Agustín, known for its colonial mansions, Canarian courtyards, and facades that are authentic pages of history.
Along the way, we'll talk about history, curiosities, legends, and mysteries, discovering characters and events that shaped the character of this city. You'll also hear the storey of one of its most famous inhabitants: Amaro Pargo, a privateer and merchant whose life mixes documented facts with fascinating tales of adventure.
We'll then head to the Cathedral of La Laguna, where we'll learn about its role in the city's religious and social life, as well as architectural curiosities that often go unnoticed.
The tour ends in Plaza del Adelantado, a central place in La Laguna's life since the time of the conquest. There, we'll put the finishing touch with an authentic taste: we'll try the city's most iconic sweet, the Lagunero, made in the historic pastry shop where this unique recipe was born.
The activity lasts approximately 2 hours, during which we'll combine culture, history, legends, and gastronomy, all with a friendly and professional approach. Perfect for those who want to get to know La Laguna from the inside, with its lights and shadows, its great feats, and its little secrets.
