Located on the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz is home to beautiful beaches filled with black volcanic sands. Head to Playa Jardin beach, the oldest resort on the island to find entry points for Atlantic water sports. Elsewhere, Martianez Beach is known for its famous outdoor swimming pool, while the beach itself is popular with amateur surfers. At the outdoor pool, you’ll find sea-water pools and resort-style restaurants suited to families looking for a relaxing day spent in the sun.
During your time in Spain’s Puerto de la Cruz, you’ll find many famous landmarks away from its volcanic beaches. Book a segway tour across the city to gain an insight into the history of the region and visit the medieval Church of Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia and the ancient stone castle of Castillo San Felipe. Alternatively, explore the city on foot to visit the penguins at Loro Parque Zoo or put on your hiking boots and journey through the picturesque hiking trails and waterfalls of the Parque Taoro. Here, you’ll be able to admire views of the Paseo de Colon and Mirador La Paz before ending your day spent in one of the many restaurants located in Plaza de Europa.

This is definitely a place to spend some time.

This is definitely a place to spend some time. Many restaurants/ / bars with good food, great views, pleasant to walk around. Some local beaches and massive area with swimming pools. Not my cup-of-tea but I guess many visitors would like that. If you like eating by the sea and listen to its hum, there is something for your then. Puerto has its own, beautiful, nearby special locations like the La Orotava or Los Realejos with an amazing beach Castro. The only minus is a long way from the South airport. Going anti-clock wise, via TF5/TF2 (San Cristobal de La Laguna or if you like Santa Cruz) and TF1 it takes around 1 hour driving or taxi and this will cost you £99. On the bus this will be much cheaper but it can take over 2 hours and more the one bus. The best option is to rent a car and go across the mountain. 2- 3 hours depending on the route but the twisty roads, splendid views and great places to stop for lunch or coffee are invaluable.

The pedestrian streets are exciting with restaurants and shops, and there are also quieter, calmer parts. Perfect for walking and wandering. Las Tejas Verdes offers delicious cocktails with traditional live music. I really liked Loro Parque.

Puerto de la Cruz is almost flat comparing with other cities on Tenerife. There are many places to eat, but all the places with standard dishes. To try canarian food need to take care and go to guanchinche - tradicional canarian restaurant. Walk in the city itself very interesting. There several hiking path from Puerto de la cruz. As on Tenerife there is a big problem with parking but in Puerto there is big municipal parking just next to the sea.

Puerto de la Cruz is a small town, nice people and with everything you might need to relax. We visit frequently for short brakes. Weather can be tricky so always carry a light jacket expecially during the evening. You can find hotels with prices on budget and luxury. The restaurants in the area are decent and prices are slightly higher then usual from other locations in Tenerife .
Good city to get a taste of northern Tenerife.

Good city to get a taste of northern Tenerife. Has the infrastructure for beach relaxations and at the same time attractions as Mount Teide, Cueva del Viento, Loro Parque, Santa Cruz are nearby. Also the weather is milder that in the south, which is also a feature for people who do not like it when it is too hot.
