Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES) - Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES)

16 December - 23 December 2016

Enjoy the sunny Canary Islands in the middle of winter! Discover the local culture and make use of good winds, so loved by the sailors. Morgenster will take you to the areas rarely seen by tourists where you can feel like a real explorer. If you’re lucky you will see some dolphins and even whales. Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.

Programme Outline

Ports

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the shared capital of the Canary Islands, together with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The central square Plaza de España is a real eye-catcher, situated between the ocean and the old, bustling city centre. Lose yourself in the crowded alleys, find a spot on one of the terraces, or leave town and discover the rugged volcanic landscape. The museum of Nature and Man is worth a visit. Chances are you’ll find pilot whales in the waters around Tenerife, so keep an eye out!
