The Plano de Santa Cruz de Tenerife of 1927 offers a captivating snapshot of the capital of the Canary Islands at a defining moment in its transformation from a historic port town into a modern Atlantic city. Produced with remarkable precision and clarity, this map reflects the growing administrative, commercial, and cultural importance of Santa Cruz de Tenerife during the early 20th century.

The map details the city’s distinctive coastal layout, framed by the Port of Santa Cruz, whose expansion had made it one of Spain’s most strategic maritime gateways. Around the harbor, one can trace the bustling urban core—with key landmarks such as the Iglesia de la Concepción, the Teatro Guimerá, and the Plaza de España—as well as the emerging neighborhoods that extended inland toward La Rambla and beyond.

By 1927, Santa Cruz was experiencing rapid modernization, supported by improved infrastructure, growing trade, and new architectural styles that mirrored broader European trends. The map records these changes with meticulous cartographic accuracy, illustrating streets, public buildings, gardens, tram lines, and civic institutions that defined the city’s evolving identity.

Created during a period of cartographic excellence under the Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico, the Plano de Santa Cruz de Tenerife combines technical precision with aesthetic elegance. It served as both a practical urban reference and a visual representation of progress and pride.
