About Puerto de la Cruz
A refreshing contrast to some of the island's Southern resorts, the chic resort of Puerto de la Cruz is the oldest on the island and, although especially popular with more mature visitors, certainly not staid. In the evenings the old town hums with life and everyone enjoys a walk through the charming pedestrianised plazas, perhaps stopping by at the Café de Paris for a speciality alcoholic coffee and cake.
Puerto de la Cruz is certainly a stylish place, where couples dress up in the evening to sample any number of fine restaurants, tapas bars and smart cafés, literally spilling from beautiful balconied colonial buildings dating back to the 1700s.
During the day, Puerto (as the locals refer to the town) is busy with shoppers taking advantage of Tenerife’s tax free status, as well as people relaxing at the town’s delightful Lago de Martianez, a fascinating leisure complex, based on sky blue pools of sea water, fountains, palms, and sculptures, designed by the renowned Lanzarote artist Cesar Manrique.
If ocean waves are your preference, Playa Jardin to the west of the town offers a broad strand of fine, volcanic sand, surrounded by an extensive maze of palm trees and deep black volcanic boulders.
Above the town centre lies the celebrated Jardin Botanico, adjacent to the premier district of La Paz. In 1788, King Charles III of Spain ordered the creation of this garden so that a wide collection of tropical species might be grown in an appropriate climate, while still remaining on Spanish soil.
Much of this spectacular garden consists of an oasis of tropical plants dating from the 18th century, designed to accommodate species from the New World put here to acclimatise before being transferred to mainland Spain. Look for the amazing giant South American fig and the twisted, tangled rubber tree.
No trip to Puerto is complete without a visit to Loro Parque, home to the world’s largest parrot collection, as well as alligators, dolphins, sea lions and other exotic species, all located in beautifully maintained and sympathetically designed grounds. Don’t miss the king penguins, housed in a self-contained eco-system that boasts its own snow.
