Economy

The economy of Santa Cruz relies mainly on services. Trade, tourism, import-export, the seaport and the presence of the major political and financial institutions, as well as the most important companies, guarantee a strong economic activity and development. The building sector is also quite relevant, while industry, apart from the oil refinery and food processing, is minoritary. The last years have witnessed a certain madness in the building sector, as in many places in Spain. The city of Santa Cruz has refurnished many of its quarters, modernised its infrastructure, built brand new areas, malls, high buildings and some charismatic constructions, such as Calatrava´s Auditorio or the Congress Hall, César Manrique´s Marina or the not yet completed Óscar Domínguez Museum of Modern Art and Culture (IODACC) and the new Plaza de España layout, both by Basel-based Pritzker Prize winner studio Herzog & de Meuron.

History

The area was known to the Guanches, the first inhabitants of the island, as Añazo. Later, it became one of the most important ports of the Atlantic and the Canary Islands, a position it retains to this day. The rise of this former fishermen's village happened after a Volcano destroyed the port of Garachico in the XVIII century. Santa Cruz became the major port of the Island. It acquired first independence from La Laguna and, in the 19th century, was awarded the status of Capital of the Canary Islands province by king Ferdinand VII. Guanches (also: Guanchis or Guanchos) were the first known inhabitants of the Canary Islands. ...

Ferdinand VII (October 14, 1784 - September 29, 1833) was King of Spain from 1813 to 1833. ...

In the last years, it has become clear that there exists a de facto union with neighbouring city San Cristóbal de La Laguna (141.627 inhabitants as in 2005 census) due to the rapid growth of population and lack of empty space between both, forming a merged metropolitan unity home to 420.198 inhabitants including nearby municipalities Tegueste, Candelaria and El Rosario. Regarding this situation, the mayor of Santa Cruz, Miguel Zerolo Aguilar and his La Laguna counterpart, Ana María Oramas Moro, both belonging to the Canarian Nationalists Party(CC), have stated several times to local media their willingness to proceed to a full political union between their municipalities, even though the decision is due to be postponed to a date after the forthcoming local elections in 2007. San Cristóbal de La Laguna is a municipality of the northern part of the island of Tenerife in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, on the Canary Islands. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st century. ...
