Full description

Depart the south of Tenerife and travel to the resort city of Puerto de la Cruz on the northern half of the island, where tourism is said to have first begun in the Canary Islands. Initially associated with the elite of Europe, who came for its mild climate and healing properties, Puerto de la Cruz and its surrounding area is also noted for its stunning flora. Despite being the smallest municipality of the archipelago, its population density makes Puerto de la Cruz the second most populated area of the islands. Home to a wide variety of attractions, including the large sea-water bathing pool of Lagos Martiánez designed by the Canarian designer César Manrique, the heart of the city can be found at Plaza del Charco. Visit the extraordinary Botanical Gardens, or travel down Paseo de San Telmo to see the little hermitage. Look at the orchids and dragon trees of Sitio Litre, where the private mansion dates from the 18th century and has been visited by Agatha Christie and the naturist, Alexander von Humboldt among others. See the black sand beach of Playa Jardín and much more.

it's a great day out to see another part of the island the coach trip is about 2 hours and very scenic too Puerto de la Cruz is a lovely place with a mixture of beaches and amazing front pools, lots of great restaurants around the one we loved was Compostelana Club Café which was in the center square such fantastic home made chips and a wonderful steak banquet

After the actual bus was delayed, we were picked up on time at our agreed location by a smaller bus. This then brought us to the right bus. It is advisable to contact the provider in advance by email and have the pick-up time and pick-up location confirmed. This is purely a transport from the south to the north. Since we did not want to visit the 'Loro parque', but only looked at the city, it was not clear how we should get there. Information, which indicates that the small train goes directly to the city center (20 minutes) would have been helpful.

Amazing day

We spent a very good day in Puerto de la Cruz, with really beautiful landscapes to see! Only downside, the driver had to be there at 17h and he arrived at 16:30, he could not stop having passed the stop so we had to walk to Loro Parque where he recovered the other passengers! Other than that, at the top!
