Refuerzo de la cuidad fortificada de Santa Cruz de Tenerife Del año 1700 y su tipica construción de las fortalezas de ultramar. En pleno casco del barrio de pescadores de San Andres.

Castillo de San Andreas un trozo de historia santacrucera pegado al mar. Dando la bienvenida a todos los visitantes que buscan la falsa arena rubia de las Terresita. Se puede decir que el castillo guarda los secretos de San...
