Activity itinerary

Botanischer Garten

20m

Start with the series of beach gardens on the west side of the city. The beautifully laid out green spaces boast a peculiar collection of cacti and succulents of various kinds which seamlessly blend with the calming sea, its black volcanic sand beach, and its peaceful sound, giving the site a special healing and refreshing effect.

Castillo de San Felipe (Pass by)

Next to the gardens is San Felipe Castle. In fact, it was more of a base station where there is a display of monumental weapons which were used to ward off pirate attacks in the 17th century. Standing on the fortress, anyone seems to hear the echo of the turbulent past of the beautiful city.

El Penon Del Fraile

20m

Just a stone’s throw away, stop by El Peñon del Fraile, built on a volcanic rock that is the present witness of an ancient eruption and the source of many interesting urban myths since a devout priest gave his wholehearted prayers here. The rock became so famous that it was turned into a structure with a cross and a side stairway for curious visitors.

Puerto de la Cruz

20m

Then, browse through Mequinez Street, featuring an array of murals with a bust of colour on the big walls that captivate any onlooker. The colourful buildings, typical of the architecture of the Canary Islands, perfectly complement and elevate the graffiti paintings to art, each of which communicates a storey about the rich coastal culture.

Puerto de la Cruz

20m

Next, stop by the city’s main meeting point of Charco Square. Its well-shaded park and unique fountain housing a big taro tree add a touch of nature to the lovely square where locals and tourists enjoy hanging out in cosy cafés and restaurants nestling under the tree shades for an escape from the sun heat and to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia

20m

Continue to stroll around the historic centre of Puerto de la Cruz, dominated by the beautiful 17th-century Church of Our Lady of La Peña de Francia. The religious hub of the city has its own tranquil green square where visitors can get immersed in the calming ambiance.

Plaza-Mirador de la Ermita de San Telmo

20m

At the end of the tour, take a walk on the pier at San Telmo Beach, which provides a multi-sensory experience with the sound of waves crashing the rocks, schools of fish trapped in the rock pools when the tide is out, and the refreshing sea smell. In case you are looking for a nice place to relax enjoying the beach views, the area also has so much to offer.
