Puerto De La Cruz
To the north of Tenerife lies Puerto De La Cruz right at the foot of the dormant volcano Mount Teide. Once a major port, this small coastal town started off the tourist boom to the Canary Islands many years ago. Although one of the most popular destinations in Spain and Tenerife, Puerto De La Cruz has not lost its small-town charm and still teems with both locals and tourists alike.
Puerto De La Cruz offers many attractions not least the spectacular Mount Teide and Las Cañadas National Park which you simply cannot miss! Mount Teide is the Sphinx of Tenrife and also the highest mountain in Spain and will leave you breathless with wonder!
The town of La Orotava which is host to the natural beauty of Valle De La Orotava should merit at least a day of pleasant exploration. In Puerto De La Cruz you can also spend time wandering around the fantastic historical architecture such as the Castle of San Felipe. If old buildings are not the way you envision spending your time in Puerto De La Cruz, then the Loro Parque with its host of creatures great and small may be more to your taste and will give you a fabulous day out that you will always remember.
Puerto De La Cruz is known for its shopping as it has that wonderful thing - 'free port status' so make sure you bring an extra suitcase with you because you're sure to pick up some amazing bargains!
Most hotels in Puerto De La Cruz have been around for a while so they don't quite match up to some of the hotels in the more widely travelled parts of Tenerife and Spain, however the hotels do try to provide good service and most hotels are continuously improving. Puerto De La Cruz does provide hotels for any range of budget though and if you look, you are sure to find a hotel to suit you.
The restaurants and cafes of Puerto De La Cruz have excellent reviews and the restaurateurs are exceedingly and understandably proud of their culinary delights, so try to sample as many as you can! Nightlife in Puerto De La Cruz has a lot to offer anyone, with small bars with a friendly atmosphere and clubs that stay open till the sun rises!
The two most popular beaches in Puerto De La Cruz are both designed by the infamous César Manrique - Playa Martiánez and Playa Jardín and both are beautiful places to dream the time away. By the same designer, Lago Martiánez is another popular spot in Puerto De La Cruz. The eight pools, cafes, tropical gardens, fountains and waterfalls truly create an ideal paradise in which to spend your holiday.
