Santa Cruz de Tenerife - Infos about the Capital City of Tenerife (1703 words)
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the island capital, is also the administrative centre for the western Canary Islands of El Hierro, La Palma and Tenerife and is the second biggest city in the archipelago.
Initially a simple fishing village, Santa Cruz's excellent deep-water harbour made it a natural successor to the island's earlier main port, Garachico, which was devasted by the lava flows of a volcanic eruption in 1706.
Santa Cruz became the major port of the island and, after becoming independent from the then island capital, La Laguna, was declared by King Ferdinand VII the capital of the Canary Islands province in the 19th century.
