Puerto de la Cruz

Puerto de la Cruz lies along Tenerife’s Atlantic coast, where the Orotava Valley drops from the slopes of Teide towards the sea. Its dark volcanic shoreline and lively old harbour reflect the town’s origins as the historic port of La Orotava. The Botanical Garden, founded in 1788 to acclimatise plants brought from Spain’s overseas territories, remains a lasting link to that maritime era. Nearby, César Manrique designed the Lago Martiánez seawater complex, combining pools, gardens and volcanic stone beside the ocean.
