Puerto de la Cruz is the kind of coastal town where time seems to slow down—probably because even the waves take coffee breaks. It’s a place that blends old-world charm with enough sunshine to make your sunglasses feel useful year-round.
H ocated on Tenerife’s lush northern coast, Puerto de la Cruz is a vibrant mix of historic streets, colorful plazas, and oceanfront promenades. Here, you can stroll past colonial architecture, dip into the Atlantic, and sip local wine all in the same afternoon. The town is home to the famous Lago Martiánez, a seawater pool complex designed by César Manrique, perfect for lazy swims under volcanic skies. Food lovers will find everything from fresh-caught fish to decadent Canarian desserts in its bustling restaurants.
Puerto de la Cruz is where the island’s soul meets the sea. Come for the views, stay for the rhythm of life that dances in every street.
