A day in La Laguna

San Cristobal de Laguna, or just La Laguna as its more popularly known is a World Heritage in Tenerife. Dating to the 1600s, it also host the most niche University on the island (in fact I am not aware of any other). It was also the ancient capital of the Canary Islands before Santa Cruz. For all those who love architecture, this place is a must to see a showcase of bright colours and bold patterns portrayed with utter simplicity. For the rest, its simply marvelous to just bask in the glory of a world largely unchanged for centuries.
