Locals and tourists alike flock to the tapa bars, going from bar to bar sampling the array of food on offer at well-known bars like Bar Giralda, Modesto, Las Teresas and Casa Robies. 

The Cathedral, Archeological Museum, Plaza Alfaro – inspiration for the balcony scene for Romeo and Juliet are but a few popular locations to visit when travelling to Santa Cruz.
