Puerto de la Cruz is located in the Orotava Valley on the north side of the island of Tenerife. Tenerife is part of the Canary Islands, which in turn are part of Spain.
The resort, whose history dates back to the 17th century, has the special charm of an old town. Travelers are treated by locals as their own guests, the good-naturedness and simplicity of treatment will allow you to easily join the quiet life of Puerto de la Cruz. The place where the resort is located is very picturesque. The coast of the island is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, and majestic mountains rise around the city. Both elements fill the town with a sense of tranquility.
The beaches of Puerto de la Cruz are black in color, thanks to the volcanic origin of the sand. Playa Martianez beach is absolutely wild, but here you can enjoy unspoiled nature and privacy. And the man-made beach Playa Jardin impresses not only with its developed infrastructure, but also with its picturesque appearance. Four small bays, a waterfall and a wonderful garden will impress even the most sophisticated travelers.
Traditional place of walks, as in any Spanish seaside town, in Puerto de la Cruz is a pedestrian promenade. The promenade looks especially picturesque in the evening.
