Sevilla is packed with lively and enjoyable bars and restaurants, and you’ll find somewhere to eat and drink at just about any hour. With few exceptions, anywhere around the sights and the Barrio Santa Cruz will be expensive. The two most promising central areas are down towards the bullring and north of here towards the [...]
“Seville,” wrote Byron, “is a pleasant city, famous for oranges and women.” And for its heat, he might perhaps have added, since SEVILLA ’s summers are intense and start early, in May. But the spirit, for all its nineteenth-century chauvinism, is about right. Sevilla has three important monuments and an illustrious history, but what it’s [...]
Inevitably, Santa Cruz’s nightlife is at its best during Carnival , which can make the other fifty weeks of the year seem like one long anticlimax. But, by normal standards the capital has a good range of bars and clubs (supplemented by a number of huge outdoor venues nearby in the summer) and a respected [...]
Bars and cafés spill onto the plazas and pedestrian streets of central Santa Cruz. While the obvious choices for a quick coffee or snack are around the Plaza Candelaria, most of the cafés here are nothing special and a bit overpriced. A couple of minutes inland you’ll find more interesting and better value places favoured [...]
Home to the archipelago’s biggest container shipping port and a number of oil refineries, SANTA CRUZ is no aesthete’s delight, but its uniquely Canarian urban vibrance is hard to find elsewhere on the island. From the time of the landing of the first conquistadors, Santa Cruz became the island’s main port and, as Tenerife became [...]
The bus station is south of the centre, around ten-minutes’ walk from the seafront Plaza de España; buses arrive here from almost every corner of the island (with the exception of Parque Nacional del Teide and the west coast). Those arriving by car will do best to head here, too (follow signs for the Avda [...]
Other than the few bars gathered around the plaza, there is little nightlife in San Sebastián. One fun bar on the Plaza de la Constitución is Bar RP , a sociable place to sample thirty-five varieties of beer until 2am (closed Sun). After 2am options are limited to the rather mediocre disco , the Discoteca [...]

A fair selection of bars and restaurants serve simple, inexpensive Canarian dishes, tapas and international fast food at the centre of town. In addition to the [...]
From the ferry terminal it is a short walk past the yacht harbour to the main Plaza de las Américas and the smaller adjoining Plaza de la Constitución . Both plazas face the promenade and main beach and are at the heart of the functional little town. Behind them, two narrow roads, Calle Ruiz de [...]
Sandwiched between imposing steep-sided headlands, the busy transport hub of SAN SEBASTIÃN was the first Spanish settlement on the island and has grown to be far and away La Gomera’s largest town, though with a population of 5000 and a waterfront that runs to just 400 metres, it’s hardly hectic or huge. Central to the [...]
