    About this ebook

    Ship Ahoy! The Compact guidebook without Images "Cruises... in a different way 2019/ 2020" is aimed at all sea bears and crusaders who do not make organised shore excursions and would like to explore the ports on Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, Fuerteventura and La Gomera individually and actively. Let your heart beat faster and get to know the country and its people. The city tours lead you with detailed route descriptions and maps to the most beautiful and important highlights of the capitals.
    On Tenerife in the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife you dive directly into the exciting history of conquest of the Canary Islands. Under the Plaza España you look at ancient ruins of the Castillo San Cristóbal and the legendary cannon El Tigre with which the forearm of Nelson was shot down. In the Iglesia de la Concepción you can see the wooden cross that rammed Alonso de Lugo into the ground after the conquest. Culturally you get your money's worth in the museums MUNA with mummies, in the TEA, the La Recova and the Museo de Bellas Artes. Follow the carnival fools at Casa de Carnaval as they celebrate the 2nd largest carnival in the world. Don't miss the auditorium, the landmark of Santa Cruz. You can enjoy pure relaxation in the magnificent Parque Maritimo with its seawater swimming pool or in Playa de Las Teresitas. Relax in the 12-hectare Palmetum Botanic Garden or mingle with locals at the popular Plaza Weyler, Plaza de Los Patos and Parque Garcia Sanabria.
    Arrive in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and dive into the exciting underwater world of Poema del Mar, or take a refreshing dip in the award-winning Playa de Las Canteras. Wake up your thirst for discovery in the old town of La Vegueta. Here you will find the magnificent Basílica de Santa Ana Cathedral, the Museo Canario with Skulls, the Columbus House Casa Colón, the CAAM Art Centre, the historical Gabinete Literario Literature Cabinet and the pretty Palacete Rodriguez Queguez Palace.
    From Arrecife, on the black volcanic island of Lanzarote, you begin your visit with a walk around the picturesque Charco de San Ginés.
    You stroll along the main shopping street Calle Léon y Castillo and visit the ancient castles Castillo de San Gabriel and Castillo de San José. Crown your shore leave at the Gran Hotel Arrecife with an unforgettable view of Arrecife and Fuerteventura from the 17th floor or splash around the azure blue Playa de Reducto.

      3 History of the Canary Islands

      The archipelago consists of 8 islands: La Graciosa, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. They belong politically to Spain and geographically to Africa.

      They are located 1200 km from the Spanish mainland and between 100 and 500 km west of Morocco. All islands are of volcanic origin, their age declines from east to west.

      Millions of years ago enormous masses of magma pushed up through fracture lines of the earth's crust, exploded in violent volcanic eruptions and formed the islands with their basalt lava flows. In several eruption bursts of varying duration and intensity, they formed today's island profiles.

      Fuerteventura with about 22 million years, Lanzarote and La Graciosa with 15.5 million years are the oldest islands of the archipelago. Gran Canaria was founded 14.5 million years ago, Tenerife 12 million years ago and La Gomera 11 million years ago. La Palma and El Hierro are the youngest Canary Islands with 2 and 1.2 million years respectively.

      The aborigines descended from North African Berbers and developed different cultures on the individual islands, independently of each other. On Lanzarote they were called Majos, on Fuerteventura Majoreros, on Gran Canaria Canarios, on Tenerife Guanchen, on La Palma Benahoaritas, on La Gomera Gomeros and on El Hierro Bimbaches.

      They lived at Stone Age level in caves and fed on collected plants, cultivated cereals and legumes, animal products, especially goats, and fish and shellfish near the coast.

      The conquest and thus the subjugation of the Canary Islands took place between the years 1403 and 1496 by the Spanish crown.

      The Plaza de España can be reached from the jetty to the left in 10 minutes on foot. From here you can get on the Hop- On Hop- Off buses, take a taxi or start your city walk on your own.

      The Plaza de España [1] is the central starting point for the city tour. In the middle of the square there is a circular lake where a water fountain shoots up every half hour. In the course of reconstruction works in July 2006, parts of the foundations of the demolished Castillo de San Cristóbal were rediscovered, so that under the square the Centro de Interpretación Castillo de San Cristóbal [2] free admission.

      The course of the foundation walls of the Castillo at that time is marked with a black mark in the lake towards the town.

      On the side is the Monumento a los Caídos [3] from 1947, dedicated to the victims of the civil war in Santa Cruz. It consists of a 25m high cruciform tower with a platform that is no longer accessible.
