Puerto de la Cruz was for many years the main resort of Tenerife, and still attracts
30000 visitors annually.

turn of the last century visiting the Spa which today is the hotel Casino Tauro.

The old town of Puerto de la Cruz is well established as a local and tourist centre. Originally an old fishing port the old town has its own charm with cobbled streets and traditional Canarian and Colonial architecture within a short distance of Puerto are some of the best known sights and sounds of Tenerife

• Lago Martianez (the sea front Lido of sea water pools)
• Jardin Botanical (Botanical gardens founded in 1788)
• Loro Parque ( the world famous Parrot Park and dolphinarium, attracting thousands
  of visitors annually)

There are also Sandy (Volcanic sand) Beaches, Parks, Banana Plantations and of course
access to the Teide National Park.

The city of Puerto de la Cruz is a place where the visitor can stroll, relax, bathe and extend their mind.Puerto de la Cruz is ideally situated for excursions into the Teide National Park and the surrounding areas of La Ortatava and La Laguna and is only a short distance from the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The area is more lush than the South with a heavier rain fall and cooler winter though
still perpetuating the feeling that Tenerife is the Island of the eternal spring
