Parque García Sanabria

Santa Cruz de Tenerife


On the northern fringe of the city centre, this park is a delightful collection of Mediterranean and subtropical trees and flowers, interspersed with sculptures, wide paths and various water features. It’s the perfect place for a picnic in the shade of an Indian banyan tree or a lazy afternoon immersed in birdsong. A pleasant cafe rounds out a welcoming picture.
