Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES) - Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES)

23 December - 30 December 2016

Spend Christmas on board of Morgenster in the Canary Islands, famous for their reliable winds. Celebrate with the locals, getting to know their customs, and those of your crew members. Discover the places where tourists rarely go, enjoy hiking in the lush forests and swimming in beautiful, clear water. Try to spot dolphins and even whales. And if you’re a musician – bring your instrument with you! Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.

Programme Outline

Ports

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the shared capital of the Canary Islands, together with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The central square Plaza de España is a real eye-catcher, situated between the ocean and the old, bustling city centre. Lose yourself in the crowded alleys, find a spot on one of the terraces, or leave town and discover the rugged volcanic landscape. The museum of Nature and Man is worth a visit. Chances are you’ll find pilot whales in the waters around Tenerife, so keep an eye out!
