The 10 Best Free Things to do in Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands
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.

We were just here for only one night unfortunately due to the escalating corona virus issues. However we loved it. It is a real Irish pub (you could substitute Welsh, Scottish or English for Irish in there). Not a Temple Bar Irish pub but a rural Irish pub. The night we were there, there were local Spanish, local ex-pat's from Ireland and the UK and tourists like ourselves. The local kids were playing pool out the back, the older locals were at the bar and the Irish and British were out listening and dancing to the music. A lovely friendly place. If we make it back to Puerto de la Cruz this is the first place I am heading to.

My husband and I visited this charming restaurant which had been recommended in the Tenerife scenic drive book we were following. A charming courtyard, soon filled up with locals. The owner was charming and brought out a lovely bottle of wine, then a delicious grilled cheese and a dish of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and prawns. Definitely recommend.

Three bus stops and a 5 minute journey away from Puerto de La Cruz bus station and you are only a short walk to the view point. Good peaceful spot for photographs of part of town and the coastline. A promenade Passeo de la Costa runs east for several hundred metres and has some restaurants/cafes. In addition to the mirador there is the simple 16 century church Ermita de San Amara. If you want good photographs and have an hour to spare this place is worth a visit.
