Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the lush green
slopes of the Orotava Valley, with the majestic
silhouette of Mount Teide in the background,
Puerto de la Cruz has long been the beating heart
of Tenerife’s tourism story.
Today, while it has evolved into a vibrant seaside
city, it retains the soul of the fishing village it once
was, where small boats still bring in the morning
catch to the old harbour and locals gather in Plaza
del Charco for coffee and conversation.
It was here that the island first welcomed travellers
in the 19th century, drawn by its exceptional yearround climate and natural beauty. Over the years,
Puerto de la Cruz has hosted renowned visitors
such as Alexander Von Humboldt, Agatha Christie,
William Wilde, Michael Jackson, André Breton and
The Beatles, to name just a few.
Strolling through its cobbled streets reveals over
140 protected historic buildings, open-air art
installations, and the colourful murals of
La Ranilla, a traditional fishing district reborn
as a creative hub.
