The Refinería de Santa Cruz de Tenerife is an oil refinery in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
The refinery, located just outside Santa Cruz de Tenerife, was the first refinery built in Spain. When it opened in November 1930, it had a refining capacity of 250,000 tons. It was built in Tenerife due to the Oil Monopoly Law of 1927, which created the state-owned Campsa company and prohibited privately owned oil industries in mainland Spain.
It supplied the Canary Islands with fuel, as well as refueling ships at the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and providing petroleum products to Africa and the Americas. It also provided petroleum products to mainland Spain until the Gibraltar-San Roque Refinery came online in the 1960s.
It was renovated in the 1980s, including the installation of a digital control room. By 2008 it was refining 4,500,000 tonnes per year, occupying 573,000 square metres. In 2001 it was the first Canarian industry to follow the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme.
The refinery was shut down in 2015. In 2018, it was announced that the refinery would be dismantled, with 2/3 of the land used for public purposes and 1/3 used commercially.

San Joaquin Castle is an inland fortification in La Cuesta, on the road that connects Santa Cruz de Tenerife and San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
In 1586, Governor D. Juan Núñez de la Fuente ordered the construction of several platforms at the site, designed by the Italian Leonardo Torriani, which were subsequently abandoned. The current building's construction started in 1780. It was constructed to defend the interior of the island, should the coastal defenses of the island fall.
The castle is square, with circular towers at each corner. It has a central courtyard, with bays on two sides. Two of the towers were used to store gunpowder.
While the outside of the structure has remained constant, the inside has been frequently modified to suit the various uses of the building, varying from a military prison to an ammunitions dump to a dovecote. It was home to the Cuerpo de Colombofilia Militar Español.
It was sold in 1996 to a private individual, and is currently abandoned.
It was recorded by the Spanish Ministry of National Education on 22 April 1949, and it was declared of cultural interest on 15 February 2000.
