The IV International Congress of Young Researchers will be held at the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism of the University of La Laguna, located on the Guajara Campus. The campus is close to La Laguna and is very well connected:
If you are coming directly from the airport:
The easiest way to locate the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism is to head towards Rector Ángel M. Gutiérrez Navarro Street.
There are several inexpensive places to eat very close to the congress venue. For example, there is the Faculty of Economics cafeteria and the Guajara Lecture Hall cafeteria. Both have dining areas and are open from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
If you continue uphill, leaving the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism behind, you will reach Rector Ángel M. Gutiérrez Navarro Street, where you will find Campus Café, Da Gabriele pizzeria, Lagunita Country Brewery, Carpe Diem Café, and Zumería Belenoe.
If you prefer to go a little farther, you can head towards the central area of Finca España, where you will find numerous bars and restaurants. We recommend La Llovizna Café and Tavern, located at the intersection of Pueblos de Tenerife Street and Pico Cho Canino Street.
We recommend visiting the historic centre of La Laguna, where you will find places of interest such as architectural heritage sites, monuments, and charming spots where you can enjoy the local cuisine. Our faculty is located close to two main routes leading to the historic centre. The recommended visit begins at the La Laguna bus station. You can reach it via the motorway, crossing the campus, or via the road immediately next to the congress venue, a secondary road served by both trams and buses that also provide access to the station.
From the bus station, begin your walk towards the historic centre of La Laguna along Avenida Trinidad. Its shops, businesses and bars lead you to the beginning of the tour, Calle Herradores, which is primarily pedestrianised. If you turn left, you can begin to admire the historic façades and architectural heritage, which now house a variety of well-known shops. Along the way, you will find numerous taverns and restaurants, most of them with outdoor seating. One example is Tasca El Obispado, a Spanish restaurant decorated with wooden beams and stone walls.
When you reach Bodeguita del Buchito, a restaurant specialising in tapas, you will find yourself in Plaza del Doctor Olivera, home to the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, a 16th-century Catholic sanctuary with its iconic bell tower overlooking the city.
The square is also home to numerous bars and restaurants, including Bar Benidorm, Caballo Blanco, Daiko Sushi Bar, Arepera AlGusto, La Creperie Les Îles, Artillería Bodegón y Restaurante, Palmelita La Laguna, and Tasca La Venta de la Esquina. This square is a pleasant place to relax and enjoy the surroundings, and you can also visit attractions such as the Cayetano Gómez Felipe House Museum.
If you continue along Obispo Rey Redondo Street, you will soon reach Plazoleta de Zerolo, a small tree-lined square with numerous shops and taverns, including El Patio de Camelia, La Cencerra, and El Rincón Extremeño, which specialises in tapas.
The route then takes you to the façade of the Teatro Leal, a beautiful eclectic building with an auditorium decorated with Art Nouveau details. This street is home to countless shops, businesses and places to eat, such as Restaurante Carrera.
Further along, you will find Dulcería La Catedral, located in another area of great interest due to the presence of the Cathedral of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, an impressive Neoclassical building with a Neo-Gothic interior and a Baroque altar. We recommend visiting the cathedral, as well as the nearby Casa Riquel, an 18th-century building.
This area is also a lively commercial district where you can enjoy Plaza de los Remedios and its shops and taverns, including La Tasca de los Patos, Granier Catedral Bakery, Malamuten Bar, El Jinete sin Cabeza, Restaurante Guaydil (offering traditional tapas, meat and seafood, as well as gluten-free options) and Cafetería Plaza Catedral.
If you continue along the route, you will come across other restaurants, such as Rocco's Pizzería and Toca Madera Taberna, among others. At this point, you will reach several buildings of significant historical and cultural importance that are open to visitors, including the Casa de los Capitanes Generales, a local history museum open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as well as historically significant buildings such as Casa Mesa, Casa de la Alhóndiga, Casa del Corregidor, and the Monastery of Santa Catalina de Siena, dating from 1611, which has a museum in its courtyard and is open from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The route ends at Plaza del Adelantado, close to Avenida Trinidad, where the tour began. The square features several buildings of great historical importance, including the façades of the Town Hall and the former Dominican College. Casa Anchieta is also located in the square, next to Café Nivaria and opposite Bar Churrería Unión.
Other buildings of great interest in the surrounding area that are open to visitors include the former Convent of San Agustín, the Adrián Alemán de Armas Municipal Library, the Convent of Santa Clara, which houses a Museum of Sacred Art and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Museum of History and Anthropology of Tenerife, open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and the former Convent of Santo Domingo.
