Santa Cruz de Tenerife Guide

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.

Morro Jable Guide

Morro Jable is a town that is located at the southern end of the Spanish island of Fuerteventura which is one of the Canary Islands. The older parts of the village are situated on either side of a headland, around which the village was originally built. The part of the old village that is separated from the port by the headland runs up a valley into the hills. Morro Jable's port was originally used by the town's fishing fleet and although it still is it is also now used by a number of vessels that cater for its tourists, which include a catamaran, a number of sports fishing boats and a ferry that travels to Gran Canaria. The newer parts of the town have been built in order to connect the original village to the port area with new tourist facilities having been built along the coast to the east of the old village. Because of the new developments, Morro Jable now stretches along the coast for around one mile.

Ferries from Morro Jable generally depart to Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Puerto del Rosario.
