Located on the Spanish island of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the joint capital of the Canary Islands, along with Las Palmas. The city is usually just called Santa Cruz and is located in the north east of Tenerife, around 210 km off the north western coast of Africa. Located in the city is the Parliament of the Canary Islands, the Canarian Ministry of the Presidency, which is shared on a 4 year term with Las Palmas, half of the Ministries and Boards of the Canarian Government (the other half is in Gran Canaria), the Tenerife Provincial Courts and two courts of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands.
The city's port plays an important role in trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas. The city is the focus for domestic and inter-island communications in the Canary Islands. Ferry services from the port depart to mainland Spain, the rest of the Canary Islands and beyond.
Agaete is a region in the Province of Las Palmas, in the north west of the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain. Popular tourist attractions include the church Iglesia de la Concepcion, in the historic town centre, which replaced the chapel and led to the first streets and town square of the municipality. A new residential area was constructed after a new parish church was built following a fire in 1874. Opposite this the Plaza de la Constitución was built and nearby the principal old-style buildings of the town were also built.
Located in Puerto de Las Nieves, the region's coastal area, is the Chapel and the Triptych of Our Lady of the Snows, which is attributed to the 16th century Flemish painter Joos Van Cleve. Puerto de Las Nieves is a lovely place to take a stroll or to swim in the Atlantic Ocean's clear waters. It is also the place to visit if you want to see the Dedo de Dios (God's Finger) which is a rock formation that protrudes from the sea. It is also the place to be at twilight in order to see the amazing mountain of Teide.
