La Vegueta
To visit the island and not spend at least half a day strolling in and out of the shadows of the capital's historical monuments is sacrilege. The Vegueta district is ground zero for putting one foot in the past and savoring the old world charm of cobbled streets, color-washed mansions and remarkably ornate carpentry. Start your exploration in the palm-lined Plaza Santa Ana, home to the twin-towered Santa Ana Cathedral before heading to the mansions of Plaza del Pilar Nuevo.
