Getting Around in La Laguna<\/h3>\n\n

You can explore the historic center of La Laguna entirely on foot: the must-see sights are just a few blocks apart. We decided to park our car at the Aparcamiento Adelantado parking lot<\/strong>, which is free and located just a stone’s throw from the Plaza del Adelantado. We recommend this option so you can easily explore the historic center and its surroundings without having to worry about moving your car throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n
