Santa Cruz de Tenerife is experiencing developments in its local commerce and hospitality sectors. The ‘Bonos Consumo’ initiative, a collaboration between the City Council and FAUCA, has injected over 307,000 euros into local businesses, with Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez noting that 78.57% of issued vouchers have been redeemed. Additionally, Grupo Compostelana has expanded its presence in the capital with a new restaurant and pizzeria at the Parque Bulevar terrace.

Building on this commercial activity, the city has been unanimously selected as the Spanish Gastronomy Capital for 2027, succeeding Jerez de la Frontera. This marks the first time an Atlantic, insular Spanish city has received the distinction. The designation is supported by a strategy integrating local products, tourism, and professional training, featuring a planned calendar of 137 gastronomic activities intended to boost the hospitality and tourism sectors.
