\n

Arriving to the Port of\u00a0Santa Cruz de la Palma<\/strong>\u00a0in the Canary Islands on an\u00a0MSC cruise ship\u00a0is an incredible feeling. The city was founded inside the\u00a0Calderata<\/strong>, an\u00a0ancient volcanic crater<\/strong>\u00a0that rises to a height of 1800 metres, protecting the sailing vessels of the past, and the cruise ships of today, from the wind.<\/p>\n

The history of Santa Cruz de la Palma, once an important stop on the trading route to the East Indies, has enriched it with fortifications, such as\u00a0Castillo de Santa Catalina<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Castillo de Santa Cruz del Barrio<\/strong>, constructed in the second half of the 16th century to defend Santa Cruz de la Palma from attacks by pirates.
\nHowever, the historical heritage of the city centre, which is encountered at practically every corner, dates back to the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods. It will be worth your while to loose yourselves among the streets, if for nothing else, than to simply admire their unique balconies, such as the one in\u00a0Avenida Maritima<\/strong>.
\nPlaza Espa\u00f1a<\/strong>, where the most representative building dating to the Renaissance make for a beautiful show, is the centre<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

of the city. Here, you can see the\u00a0El Salvador Church<\/strong>. Began in 1497, it has a gate reminiscent of a Roman triumphal arc that was built in honour of Christ\u2019s victory over death.
\nIts severe bell tower is also interesting. Allow yourself an\u00a0excursion<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Sanctuary of Madonna of the Snow<\/strong>, worshipped since the first arrival of the Spanish to the islands. The sanctuary is constructed in a flourishing natural setting; and today, it is the most important of a series of monuments of great historical, cultural and artistic value, which also include the\u00a0Casa de los Romeros<\/strong>, (House of the Pilgrims, 17th century) and the\u00a0Casa Parroquial<\/strong>\u00a0(18th century).
\nIf you are a lover of nature, take an excursion to the\u00a0Caldera de Taburiente National Park<\/strong>, a wide basin left after the collapse of an ancient volcano. The park also contains springs and streams with orange and emerald green-tinted waters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
