An old postcard of Avenida Trinidad in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, from the Negrín Ponte Collection, documents the avenue's urban and architectural evolution throughout the 20th century.

Avenida Trinidad, located in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, stands as a witness to time and a representative axis of the city's urban growth during the 20th century. This historic thoroughfare not only connected key points but also reflected the social and architectural transformations of the era.
The image, from the Negrín Ponte Collection donated to CEDOCAM, displays elements now part of the past: more open street layouts, significantly lower traffic density, and an urban appearance characteristic of its time. Every detail in the postcard indicates a Laguna in continuous adaptation, integrating new needs while preserving its historical heritage.
These postcards are more than just images; they serve as historical documents that help us understand daily life and the evolution of this emblematic area.
