10 Things to Do in Puerto de la Cruz That You Shouldn't Miss

February 27, 2018 Jeremy Dunfee

One of Tenerife's top resorts, Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of the island. Both Spanish and island traditions are evident in the former fishing village. Its Sardine Festival and annual Carnaval are two highlights of life on the island. Busy, narrow streets of the Old Town, packed with colonial architecture, make walking a safer bet than driving. Popular attractions include Lago Martianez, the casino, Parrot Pool, the Banana Plantation and the Botanical Gardens, which date back to 1788.

This is a great zoo with a lot of interesting shows and animals to see. I would recommend everything, but to pick a few of the favourites, I'll say you definitely don't want to miss the penguins, whales, dolphins, gorillas, lions and the macaw aviary. If you want to attend all the shows, you probably have to plan a little bit and be there in the morning.

This beach can be reached by 30/40 minutes walk from the top of Puerto de la Cruz which it's in it self quite nice. There is also a snack bar on the beach.

Stayed here for 3 nights and found 3 good restaurants to eat in, all based on Spanish local food but each one worth a try; Depatanegra was exceptional. Nice town to wonder round but steep hills.

One of the most appealing stained glass windows I have ever seen and many other beautiful windows as well. Do go and see yourself. As there are not many other attractions in La Orotava this is one place to visit.

Puerto Street Art

Reviewed By Mike B - Torquay, United Kingdom

This is an interesting area to walk around, arty type atmosphere and some great murals painted on the gable ends of the buildings. One building was also covered in a huge blanket made up of colourful crocheted squares, they were also wrapped around some trees as well. There was a map showing were the different paintings were and telling you who had painted them. The area is just past the little harbour, just keep walking along the seafront and you come to it.
