Into the Palmetum

An Urban Oasis Transformed

Tenerife Peñón Fest takes place beside the Palmetum, a botanical garden created on a former landfill site near Santa Cruz’s waterfront. The location is distinctive because it combines:

• Festival space
• Atlantic Ocean setting
• Urban Santa Cruz location
• Views toward the port
• Nearby botanical gardens
• Easy access from central hotels
• Public transport connections
• A warm October climate

The Palmetum itself contains one of Europe’s most important palm collections. If you arrive early, consider visiting the gardens before the festival begins.
