City Tour of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife's Historical City | 4K Travel Vlog
San Cristóbal de La Laguna is the second largest city in Tenerife and the third largest city in the Canary Islands. The centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a UNESCO World Heritage Site also known as the historical city centre. It was in fact the ancient capital of the Canary Islands.
Wandering around the streets of San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a beautiful, relaxing experience. Restaurants and small shops are in abundance, each one filled with tantalising food and curios. The architecture of the buildings was very impressive, especially La Laguna Cathedral.
La Laguna Cathedral is a Roman Catholic Church which took 11 years to build. It was completed in 1915.
It's free to admire La Laguna Cathedral from the outside but if you want to take a peek at its interior, there's a €5 fee per person. If you think this is a little expensive, it does come with a handset which talks you through each section of the Cathedral so you are essentially getting a tour.
Follow me as I take you on a tour of La Laguna city.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in La Laguna and felt confident I would be able to keep exploring northern Tenerife as planned.

-- The Unexplored Tenerife Series --
In this series we have taken a look at some of the most beautiful and untouched areas of Tenerife. Areas where tourists rarely visit.
We've explored Tenerife's busy and characterful capital city, Santa Cruz, including the Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, a traditional African market.
You can watch my vlog on Santa Cruz here: • Exploring Santa Cruz d...
We've also taken a road-trip to the northern corner of Tenerife. An area known as the Anaga Rural Park. Driving through this scenic area was awe-inspiring, filled with traditional villages and beautiful natural surroundings. We found ourselves on a beautiful stretch of coastline, home to Taganana village which name means 'surrounded by mountains'.

We flew to Tenerife South Airport with Jet2. This route is available from many UK airports including Manchester and London Gatwick and is roughly 4 hours in duration.
Our accommodation is on the outskirts of La Esperanza village in northern Tenerife. We booked through Airbnb and the cost was £76 GBP per night.

Congratulations Ella !!!!!! 👌 Again you have done a great job. 👏👏👏👏👏 When you return to Tenerife, I promise to show you "some secrets" of La Laguna (including good places to eat), which you may not have discovered on your first visit. Thank you very much for continuing to show our island as it really is. 🙌🙌

Almost all the cities, towns or neighborhoods of Tenerife have their charm. Some more than others. From Santa Cruz, passing through Puerto de La Cruz. But the ones I like the most are the ones that still retain their initial essence. Those whose architectural heritage remains intact, and of those we find the three most important to me: La Laguna (of course), La Orotova, Garachico and Icod de Los Vinos.

Always sucks when you get ill on a trip, especially when you have to cancel things... Haha that's an expensive ham - hope it was good! Looks like a beautiful city, had no idea it was UNESCO. Great to see yet another side to Tenerife!

The ham was SO worth it. Especially in the year 2020. Sometimes an indulgence is required 😝
I loved the way you introduced yourself and the video! The effect of the typing machine was so nice!!! Which editing program did yo use to do it? I lived in Spain for a while and I can clearly tell you Spanish have a great knowledge talking about ham... it's not that crazy the price you paid for some quality ham. You could have spent also much more, trust me!!! :) I am sure it was good :D

I used Final Cut Pro to create the typewriter effect. I just split the text into a sections of a few frames each and added another letter in each one. So I created it manually but it only took a few minutes. I then inserted a typewriter sound effect from Epidemic Sound. Very easy but it did the job well :) Hahaha I knew Iberico ham was expensive as I normally get it in restaurants but I guess I didn't expect him to purchase SO much of it. I have never spent €50 in one go for ham so it was a shock but it was so worth it as it tasted amazing ;)
It's tough when one feels sick during a trip. The cathedral is very beautiful and the restaurant is nice.

It´s always unpleasant to become ill when travelling. I experienced that once and I felt terrible :-). I enjoyed your introduction a lot with many beautiful slow motion shots of nature and also during the video. The cathedral looked really imposing.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Louis did well in spending €50 on a ham :O That is a lot of money. I love those local bakery stores btw! And good to see that in the end you got better to explore the historical city center of San Cristobal de La Laguna. €5 is btw a fair entry to the cathedral.
@EllaMcKendrick
4 жыл бұрын
I thought €5 was fair too but when I looked on Tripadvisor for reviews there were so many people like "so expensive!" which made me think maybe I was in the minority thinking the fare was good. Entrance fees normally go go towards preserving the Cathedral which I'm sure is quite expensive to maintain.

@@EllaMcKendrick Yeah inside it doesn't look special. But €5 is nothing, especially not to preserve the place. Some people spend more on their morning coffee.

Oh no I’m sorry you were sick on your trip especially with your ear drums. But I’m sure it was nice to relax. The cathedral was beautifully designed. And the inside was spectacular! Thank you for sharing this experience. Oh and I didn’t realize Tenerife was that big as it seems everyone always goes to the same area.

Very cool butterflies slow-mo! Wayne is the same way, he can't hardly bear to sit still, especially when traveling! We were so sick though at one point in Bulgaria, we only explored a half day and then crashed at the Airbnb. Expensive ham--we have never tasted it before. Cool ceiling in the cathedral! How was lunch?

Oh no, that's so annoying that you were ill! Do you know what was wrong? Iberico ham is expensive but definitely worth trying if you are ever in Spain. The lunch was OK. The staff were a little cold which made the experience not as great. It was the only meal where I wasn't too sure about the place we chose to eat at.

Gotcha. We have had a few of those before too, unfortunately. April had a cold before we left, but did her darnedest to get better before we left. She was mostly better but not 100%. Then traveling and her cooties 😂 did me in and then she got sick again. It was two of the worst colds (we think?) that we have ever had in our lives!

Clickbait. 8 minutes in total and Waiting 7 to see the church. That s just sad
Her explanation of her illness was distracting from what she wanted to present. I didn't need to spend my time listening to how she felt. Sorry for you cold, but get on with your presentation.

I appreciate your feedback. This part of a 5 part series and the illness is a big part of it. I don't make 'best things to do' videos but rather tell a story. I could easily gloss over the negative parts of travel but that wouldn't feel right. This channel is about raw, real experiences and not a highlight reel. But there are plenty of other vloggers who do pick out the best bits so I'm sure you'll be able to find what you're looking for :)
