Puerto de la Cruz holidays are ideal any time of the year as the sunshines in tenerife all year round. Puerto de la Cruz has always been a family holiday favourite due to the superb small beaches Puerto del la Cruz has and its family friendly restaurants and bars.
Holidays in Puerto de la Cruz were pulling people in even before tourism had been invented. And it's still going strong today. Come and find out why.
Brits have relished a break here since the nineteenth century. Parts of this once small fishing village are still the same. Fisherman bring in their daily harvest. Typically Canarian houses line the streets and normal life flourishes in this hilly town. And yet, tourism has taken off too. No wonder Puerto de la Cruz's holidays are as popular as ever.
So what's the secret? The choice of beaches? Three small beaches, with dark volcanic sand. Nearby Playa de las Teresitas with imported Sahara sand. Or the 'au naturale' Las Gavistas for that all over tan. Maybe it's Lago de Martianez – a huge saltwater lido with 8 pools, bars and restaurants. Perhaps it's the pretty Old Town with Castillo San Felipe and the beautiful Senora de la Pena de Francia church. Or the high fashion and high prices in the New Town. Maybe it's wild Loro Parque and the Orchid Gardens once graced by Agatha Christie. . . .the list goes on.
Puerto de la Cruz nightlife revolves around stylish hotel bars, the clubs in the New Town and long, lingering dinners at a Canarian restaurant. Make like 007 at the glamorous Casino Taoro. Or have your Beatles' moment with karaoke at The Cavern.
There is also a fine sandy beach, so please have a really great time !! For all the family couples and groups of friends. Puerto de la Cruz is Tenerife’s main tourist resort in the north of the island which, although it welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, remains resolutely Canarian in character.
Puerto de la Cruz has a reputation as a sophisticated holiday destination and its many fine restaurants, its stylish garden beach, its elegant plazas and streets and its upmarket shopping make it a favourite with Spanish mainlanders throughout the summer months and with Northern Europeans who over-winter in its mild climate.
Due to its position on a promontory at the foot of the La Orotava Valley on Tenerife’s North West coast, Puerto de la Cruz enjoys the very best of Tenerife’s bounty. It receives less rain and more sunshine than the rest of the north of the island but nevertheless receives enough rainfall to sustain lush vegetation that provides the town with its abundance of gardens and its sub-tropical appearance.
November and February are normally the rainiest months; summer trade winds can bring cloudy, hot days in June, July and August; September and October are often the perfect climate months with clear skies and wonderful visibility, long hot days and warm nights. The winter months of December and January usually enjoy long hours of clear skies and sunshine with cooler temperatures after sundown.
Temperatures range from the low to mid 20°s in winter and from high 20°s to mid 30°s in summer.
Places to visit, Teide, Lido Martianez, World Famous Loro park, Bananera, Botanical gardens.
