La Laguna was the first city in the Canary Islands, and its layout served as a model for many cities in the Americas. On this walking tour, an official tour guide and historian will show you its most famous spots and those that often go unnoticed.
We'll start in Plaza de la Junta Suprema and continue along Calle San Agustín, with its mansions, Canarian courtyards, and centuries-old façades. Along the way, we'll talk about history, interesting facts, and legends, as well as one of the city's most famous residents: Amaro Pargo, a privateer and merchant whose life blends documented facts with tales of adventure.
We'll arrive at La Laguna Cathedral, where we'll tell you about its role in the life of the city and some architectural details that almost no one notices. If it's open, we recommend coming back later to visit the interior.
We'll finish in Plaza del Adelantado, the hub of life in La Laguna since the conquest, with a taste of the city: the lagunero, La Laguna's most typical sweet, at the historic pastry shop where the recipe was created.
