Santa Cruz de Tenerife has secured a spot among the world’s most highly regarded cities, ranking 239th in the Global Cities Index 2026 by Oxford Economics. This international ranking evaluates cities based on various economic and social indicators, placing Santa Cruz in the top quarter globally and among the top cities in Spain.
The index considers factors beyond economic size, such as economic activity, human capital, quality of life, environment, and public management, allowing mid-sized cities to compete with major international capitals.
