Official inauguration of the Plaza de Espaņa
On Thursday, 24th July, the newly redesigned Plaza de España will get its official inauguration. (More pics.)
Then, from July 25th, residents of Santa Cruz (and presumably visitors too) will be able to visit the underground remains of one of the walls of the Castillo de San Cristóbal, which were found during the remodelling works.
Santa Cruz grew up around the San Cristóbal castle, which was built in 1575 and demolished in 1928, during which time it formed the axis of the city's defensive system and played a large part in military events on the island, including the invasion attempt by British forces on July 25th, 1797.
