Santa Cruz de La Palma: Upper Town Historical Tour

Explore Santa Cruz de La Palma on a walking tour. Ride the Ascensor de La Luz, visit the Church of Santo Domingo, and end at La Recova market.
Begin your walking tour at Plaza de la Constitución and take the Ascensor de La Luz, an urban lift that overcomes approximately 35 meters of elevation and gives direct access to a landscape of narrow streets, small squares, chapels, and old communication routes in the upper town.

Continue to the viewpoint, Calle de La Luz, and the Chapel of San Telmo. Admire the panoramic view of the seafront and learn about the maritime quarter. See the chapel, linked to seafaring traditions and retaining a strong popular and Atlantic character.

Next, visit Plaza del Tanquito and the lanes of San Telmo. Learn about this small urban space, its relationship with water and neighborhood life, and transition into the historic upper-town fabric.

Stop at Plaza del Dornajo and the old Camino de la Banda. The old trough recalls the passage of pack animals and goods along the road that connected the capital with the island's western side.

Explore the La Canela Quarter, including San Sebastián, Huertas, Drago, and Cajita Blanca streets. Enjoy an interpretive walk through the neighborhood's domestic fabric: slopes, traditional houses, balconies, courtyards, trades, confectionery, and popular memory.

Stop at the Plaza and Chapel of San Sebastián, located in the heart of the quarter. The chapel is documented at least since the 16th century and gave its name to the historic San Sebastián district, also known as La Canela.

Visit the Church and Museum Collection of Santo Domingo, one of the highlights of the tour. Admire Flemish paintings linked to artists such as Pieter Pourbus the Elder and Ambrosius Francken, Mudéjar ceilings, and Baroque altarpieces.

Continue through institutions that explain the remarkable intellectual atmosphere of the capital in the 19th and 20th centuries: the Real Sociedad Cosmológica, founded in 1881 and associated with a library, archive, and historical collections, and Sociedad La Investigadora (El Casino), whose Natural History Cabinet-Museum preserves scientific collections.

End your tour at La Recova, where heritage, commerce, and local products come together in a living market space.
