Puerto de la Cruz is the sixth largest city in Tenerife with 140.00 inhabitants and one of the tourist centers on the north coast of Tenerife. The north of Tenerife impresses with its lush green landscape and the grandiose contrasts of sea and mountains.

The north and the south of Tenerife are very contradictory. In the south you will find the “Sunshine Guarantee”, but also a different kind of tourists, let’s say a rather all-inclusive atmosphere. The North, however, is more original and perfect for independent travelers who do not want to do what all do. Unlike Las Américas in the south, in Puerto de la Cruz in the north you have a good mix of people from around the world and locals. In addition, the north of Tenerife has more to offer than the south according to waves for surfers.
