Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

The Fundacion Cristino de Vera- Espacio Cultural CajaCanarias contains the extraordinary collection of works donated by Cristino Vera (Tenerife, 1931), one of the most relevant artists of the Spanish Art of the 20th centuryThe building, the headquarters of the Fundación, located on a housing of the eighteenth century, preserves the traditional elements of Canary Islands architecture and constitutes a point of reference when you visit San Cristóbal de La Laguna, World Heritage City.
We went to see Cristina De Vera exhibition which was a kind of pointillism style - I liked the two landscape paintings of Toledo best. Other unusual paintings on display. Building had amazing wooden floors and ceilings. Free after 5 on Friday afternoons.

Art Gallery and Studio where you can enjoy local art pieces and also join our daily art lessons. Galería y Taller de Artes Plásticas donde podrás disfrutar de obras de artistas locales además de unirte a nuestras clases de Arte.
Welcoming studio for both beginners and experienced painters to connect with their creative side - a very enoyable addition to our beach holiday - will definately be back on our next trip to Tenerife. We booked 2 morning sessions for our family comprising 1 painter adult, 1 arty teen and 2 amateur adults who hadn't picked up a brush in decades. We were all welcomed by Natalia who got us started in no time and showed great sensitivity for when to make suggestions and when to let us enjoy the peace of becoming absorbed in our work. The time flew by and we all left with our paintings to gift or as mementos. Our fellow artists were a mix of Brits, Spanish and German and we all jogged along in a relaxed and puposeful atmosphere. Thank you Natalia for bringing depth and colour to our beach holiday.

Well worth a visit for the architecture alone. Smallish exhibition space with edgy contemporary and varied content. Very restorative.

The museum is a typical Canary Island home built in 1703 by the Irish merchant Bernardo Valois. The house was the family residence of the collector Cayetano Gómez Felipe, who was from La Palma. Within its rooms, different types of objects with varied origins related to art and daily Canary Island life from the 16th to the beginning of the 20th centuries can be visited

It was free to enter to this museum/gallery. It's an old building that's full of character in itself. There was an excellent exhibition on upstairs where the admission was 1.50 euro. Well worth the entrance fee and would thoroughly recommend it. There's a lovely shop downstairs as you enter into the building.

El Tanque is a one-of-a-kind experience. There is nowhere else in the world where you can walk inside a giant oil tank. There are often art installations and for one week a year, the Keroxen rock concerts, but even without, it's worth a visit. When you walk inside, almost total darkness envelops you until your eyes adjust, and you see what an oil tank looks like from the inside. Santa Cruz de Tenerife has shared its space (and its air) with an oil refinery for more than 70 years. As the city reclaimed part of the land of the refinery, some activists managed to save Tank #69 as a monument to the city's relationship with the oil refinery. Now famous arquitect Fernando Menis performed a prizewinning job of converting the tank to a cultural space. What kind of visitor will love El Tanque? The same type of visitor who enjoys seeing urban artefacts and urban renewal projects. El Tanque is itself urban art at its best.
