The best views of Santa Cruz<\/strong> are not found in this municipality, but from the top of the Mirador de la Concepci\u00f3n<\/strong>, in Bre\u00f1a Alta. From here we can observe the capital of La Palma from above its impressive crater<\/strong>, the largest on the whole island. Bre\u00f1a Alta offers sea and mountains. From the Playa de Bajamar<\/strong>, next to the port, up to the Cumbre, where we find recreational areas as pleasant for camping or barbecues as Pared Vieja.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within its surface of 31 square kilometers, the population is spread across the neighborhoods of Botazo, Buenavista, Las Ledas, El Llanito, Miranda and Bre\u00f1a. The capital of the municipality is San Pedro. The festivities of its patron saint, San Pedro Ap\u00f3stol, are celebrated on June 29. The Fiestas de la Santa Cruz<\/strong> in the two Bre\u00f1as and part of Mazo are also famous, where many neighborhood crosses<\/strong> are beautifully decorated<\/strong> by their residents in a lively celebration full of tradition, affection and local pride.<\/p>\n

In its lands, different crops were grown, with tobacco<\/strong> being especially famous, used by many local craftsmen to make the well-known “puros palmeros”. For this reason, the municipality has a cigar museum where visitors can make their own cigars. Within the artisan tradition, the making of utensils such as “serecas”, balayos, hats, baskets, etc., is also noteworthy.<\/p>\n
