Narrated guide to La Laguna - Tenerife’s Most Beautiful City | Guided Walking Tour
La Laguna is Tenerife’s most beautiful city, as well as its oldest. It is also an UNESCO world heritage site. You’ll see why as you walk with us through its amazing streets. We hope you enjoy this guided walk through Tenerife’s old capital city of La Laguna, narrated by our own quirky guide, Mike. This is thought to be the first well laid out Spanish colonial city, with subsequent cities copying the layout, such as Havana Old Town in Cuba.
La Laguna is the first established city in the Canary Islands, it also has the Canaries’ first university and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you’re wondering about where to go in Tenerife, the top town in Tenerife, or about the best or top 10 places to go in Tenerife, we hope this Tenerife guided tour will help.
It’s a beautiful city for a day trip and it has some great independent coffee shops, restaurants, beautiful architecture, and a huge amount of history. It’s a university town, so it has a characterful, bohemian vibe.

Hello lovely playmates, happy to bring a little bit of La Laguna to your door. I'm sure it'll be right up your street when you do get to visit. Been enjoying your latest video's as much as ever, it's a good way of feeling connected to you even when we can't be together. If that doesn't sound too creepy!
I love traveling with you. It's always a super nice experience and I feel like I've been somewhere new. Thank you!

Hi Mike 👋😊. Thanks for this lovely walk n talk. I liked the fun elements in this commentary 😅. Last time we were in La Laguna we enjoyed exploring the City. We then left the car parked there and took the modern tram 🚊 all the way down to Santa Cruz. The young lady at the ticket desk was so delighted that ‘us tourists’ had found the terminus and planned to do the return trip. She showered us with maps, leaflets, suggestions and chat; as the line built up behind us 👫🏻👭👬🏿👫🏻👬🏿😮. Happy days ! See you again soon, in the new year 👍. Cheers, Don 🙋♂️

Hi Don, good to hear you had a good experience in La Laguna and enjoyed exploring the City. It's pretty unique, we liked it's bohemian charm too. The tram from and to Santa Cruz is so easy isn't it, it almost makes it an extension of the city. We're enjoying Madeira now as much as ever, it never seems to disappoint. How has your trip been this Christmas, sunny and enjoyable I hope. Have you made any films there? I'll pop by to see in fact. Speak again in the new year, toodloo for now. Mike and Yvonne
Cool

Thanks for dropping by SW! All the best to you.
I'm guessing what I'm about to say makes sense but the structure of the house at 3:29 reminds me of the moroccan riads. very pretty architecture with the balconies and courtyards.

I know exactly what you mean. I'd love a house with a central courtyard like that, though I guess I'd have to live somewhere hot. Hmmm...:)
i agree with title,this city has a rustic side!

Good morning E, it's one of our favourite cities in Tenerife for that reason. Towns in the South of the island tend not to have so much character, so we like the North and this town is pretty special. Best wishes to you.

Dude! - at minute 29, you are Obviously standing in front of a Theatre / Concert Hall! I can see that from the posters on the facade - which features a lot of Classical music. Of course - what's behind those doors is a Stage, surrounded by Seating! Probably a Mezzanine, a bar/cafe and a ticket office! ....Jeeez!

Ah well there you go Mark!
what was winter like in Tenerife for you? I want to go over Christmas. Looks like it'll be fairly hot as well. Is it often overcast?

Hiya - it was very pleasant for us. Could easily sunbath for the majority of our stay, but yes, it can sometimes get stormy and overcast (in Puerto De La Cruz or Santa Cruz). It's always going to be cooler in La Laguna, simply because of the altitude. The benefit of Tenerife is that the South of the Island is almost guaranteed to be drier and warmer, so if you find it's a bit that day in the North, you can just bus it down to warmer weather :)

Maybe that's the dark story I heard in 2019. I have been trying to Google it with no success. Can you just say if it was about a Nun & a forbidden love?
