Santa Cruz Open Top Minibus
Santa Cruz de La Palma

by open top minibus & on foot
Leaving the port behind relax in your open top minibus, as you embark on a scenic drive to the Mirador de la Concepcion on the outskirts of Santa Cruz de la Palma. Marvel at the magnificent views over the town and north coast of the island before heading to the Santuario Virgen de Las Nieves, one of the most popular shrines in the capital located in the highest part of town. Inside the small, whitewashed church you’ll find the island's most sacred icon, the Virgin Mary of the Snows, the patron saint of the island. Enjoy a soft drink refreshment before continuing your scenic drive.
You’ll head to the Barco de la Virgen in the main town of Santa Cruz de la Palma, a replica of Columbus’ Santa Maria. Take a guided stroll to discover the streets and squares including Plaza Alameda, Plaza San Francisco, and Placeta Borrero. Admire the attractive two-storey renaissance-style Town Hall and the 17th century church Iglesia del Salvador.
At the end of your walk reboard your minibus to return to your ship.
