We recently sent a pamphlet entitled Celebrations of the Holy Christ of La Laguna: la ciudad, sus bellezas y sus tradiciones. Fue publicado en 1961 con el patrocinio de varias empresas locales entre ellas DISA que todavía sobrevive y se ha convertido en una de las más importantes de la isla. Contains images that take us back to the urban form that had the old and some peripheral areas 50 years back.
The gardens and orchards that existed in the central area of the Laguna, near the end of the street of St. Augustine. In every yard is tended to have among the fruit, several characteristic trees: a monkey puzzle, one dragon palm and canaries.
The square of the Miraculous at the end of the streets of Santo Domingo Farriers and. A place that defined then the entrance to the city, from Santa Cruz.
View of the Avenue of the Trinity newly urbanized, at the point at which crossed the ravine and is now Chamarta Street 6 December.
Meeting Trinity Avenue in historic shuttle Farrier Street
The Low Tide bath area with coastal pools. In the background is the core of La Punta but still you have built the most representative tourist buildings and its urbanization had occurred to the west.
Entrance to the harbor of the city of Santa Cruz near the top of Avenida de Anaga.
I could not resist posting these views reflect the delicious character that had then-in my childhood- certain parts of the island, and the town, I seem representative of the sea change we have experienced in the island territory in just half a century.
Q was nice! and q sad not knowing stop in time….. hopefully not lose it entirely.
What lovely photos !! Square Avda The Miraculous. of the Trinity …..each and the Santa Cruz Pier and Avenida. Anaga had not seen nunca.No is that any past was better,unlike in so many things but, in what is our territory ,our soil, that have been disrespectful often. As one friend of mine “the islands have desecrated ” and not without reason.
It's amazing the change in the years, myself, q I have 28, I am fully aware of the growth experienced many areas of Tenerife, for example, edificatorio the urbanization process and the Orotava Valley, Tacoronte, La Matanza, Guimar, etc.… At any rate, some beautiful images that speak volumes when compared to current.
Interesting images, Federico. Some of La Laguna and knew. I have drawn attention of Anaga Avenue, not the image itself, but its content: Red buses for tourism (British manufacturing) and a collection of microphones Commer, English also, communicated with which part of the secondary destinations inland.
Marili, goes for Santa Cruz…. but I'll say that La Laguna, remain almost equal… and stating that I say knowingly, then with 9 years old…. “usease” by 62 I landed in this magnificent city or “village” as I call. The Miracle and The Trinity, I have improved, droughts have lost a few yards of the right-front margin Institute- St. Augustine. Fede other 15 pa' you….where do you get time?
Muy interesante, Federico, I loved walking around the past.
Very interesting Federico…I wish we could rewind.
What beauty, Mr. Architect. Kindly preserve the beauty of the Island. From other (Beauties) I'm careful. A hug.
