The Canary Islands offer wonderful beaches, exotic
subtropical landscapes and a mild weather during the whole year.
The island of Tenerife, in the middle of the Archipelagos,
offers fascinating views dominated by the impressive majesty of Teide and its
volcanic landscapes. Teide is the highest Spanish geographic summit with its
3718m. But Tenerife is not just Teide- vast and fertile valleys, long beaches,
dense forests, charming towns- enough reasons to visit the island.
The Northern part of Tenerife and particularly the valley La
Orotava have been discovered by national and international tourists as a favorite
tourist destination. We were especially impressed by the valley-green, leafy
and landscapes. A true pleasure for the sense.
The charming city Puerto de la Cruz is situated on the north
of Tenerife. This is one of the oldest tourist resorts of the Canary Islands
and one of the largest and most interesting cities. Particularly
characteristics of the city are the luxury hotels and the pleasant atmosphere
which can be enjoyed by strolling along the promenades and admiring The Ocean.
Puerto de la Cruz offers also small beaches with black volcanic
sand and the best known is Playa Jardin.
The magical beauty of the beach captivates all those who see
it. This is one of the beaches which the locals like the most.
Ideal place to take a dip.
Unique landscapes along the long promenade. The best way to
enjoy the sunny afternoon.
Here we found plenty of bars and restaurants but the best
are the exotic plants beside the beach. Very very impressive.
The public garden just behind the beach gave its name to
Playa Jardin and made it so famous.
A very popular attraction Puerto de la Cruz is Loro Parque,
one of the most spectacular theme parks in the world with species from all over
the planet.
We took a leisure stroll along the main street, always full
of people at any time of the day.
Castillo de San Felipe, the little fort built to protect the
city from the pirates.
Puerto de la Cruz is full of life with a large range of
hotels, shops, terraces. The lovely city perfectly combines tradition and
modernity.
The old harbor, right in front of Plaza del Charco, is very picturesque and popular part of the city.
Case de la Aduana- The House of the Customs, close to the
old harbor is built in a traditional Canarian style. Next to it is the Battery
of Santa Barbara which served to protect the ships.
Seaside restaurants offer exquisite menus and amazing views
and in the evening the cooling sea breeze adds to the enjoyment.
Not far away from here is Lago Martianez, considered a real
gem by tourists.
A huge bathing pool right into the Ocean.
An excellent way to spend the day. This is the most
beautiful coastline we have ever seen. Simply stunning!
A really nice place with lovely views.
The city is also famed for its breeze, making it an ideal
spot for surfing at any time of the year.
Playa Martianez.
Puerto de la Cruz offers perfect conditions for swimming and
relaxation and is so spectacular with its unique exotic atmosphere and
wonderful views. Here we touched nature in its greatest splendor.
