Plaza de Espana

Plaza de España is one of Tenerife's most iconic and popular public spaces. Located in the heart of the city, it serves as a focal point where daily life blends with the sights of tourists.

The square is built on the ruins of the former San Cristóbal Castle. Sections of the castle's walls are preserved beneath the grounds, showcased in underground galleries, offering a glimpse into both the modern city and its past. The square has recently undergone a major renovation, adding artificial pools, pavilions, and open spaces. The lighting and water features are particularly captivating at night.

In the center of the square stands a monument commemorating those who died in the Spanish Civil War. Surrounded by important government buildings, historic structures, and commercial and leisure venues, the square is both symbolic and vibrant. Visitors can stroll and relax here, enjoy the water views from the pools, or enjoy local tapas in the square's cafés. The square is also a venue for city festivals and cultural events.
