Tenerife 2014

 

The next stop on the cruise is Tenerife, another of Spain's Canary Islands.  This island is much greener than Lanzarote.  Santa Cruz de Tenerife serves as the capitol of Spain's Cnaray Islands and is the port that the cruise ship docked at.  Tenerife has almost a million permanent residents.  It is a tourist destination from Europe with about 5 million visitors a year.

One of our favorite places was a converted monestary.  It is now a restaurant, bar and tourist trap.  Lots of interesting things here.

While traveling about the island, we took several photos.

At various points of interest, there were views of the ocean.

As we were entering or leaving the port of Santa Cruz, there were several opportunities for photos.
