Visit La Laguna in the Spain Travel Guide
Visit La Laguna
La Laguna is situated on the north of the island of Tenerife, one of the Western Canary Islands.
If you are visiting Tenerife La Laguna is a must. La Laguna's town plan became the model for new towns built in the Americas. Its streets are filled with colourful buildings, beautiful old villas, palaces and buildings of the 17 and 18th centuries. The old town is very well preserved and is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
La Laguna is also a university town and Tenerife's second largest town which means it also has great shops and a lively night scene.
