Amazing Day at Loro Parque! Loro Parque is absolutely incredible – a must-visit! There’s so much to see and do, and the animals are clearly very well cared for. The enclosures are spacious, beautifully designed, and give you great views without ever feeling overcrowded for the animals. Everything felt clean, organised, and really well maintained. The dolphin and orca shows were a real highlight – absolutely amazing and definitely a must-see while you’re there. They were professional, fun, and showed off the animals’ intelligence and beauty in such a memorable way. There’s plenty to keep you entertained all day, from the variety of animals to the shows and the little details around the park that make it special. The only downside is that food on site is a bit pricey – but that’s the same in most attractions and didn’t take away from how fantastic the experience was. Overall, a beautiful park, well worth the visit, and somewhere I’d happily return to again!

Got tickets online earlier as they're discounted, easy to park in their nice underground car park (7 euro). Well worth a visit, clean, accessible, plenty of clean toilets and food outlets which were reasonably priced. It's very clear that your entrance fee and any profits go towards animal welfare and conservation, which is great to know. Get to the Orca, sea lion and dolphin shows early for the beat seats, avoid the front if you want to stay dry, but that's part of the fun. Sea lions were our favourite 🦭. The fish tank displays are brilliant and absolutely massive! 🐟 🐠 The gardens and fauna are amazing! 🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 🦭🐬👏👏👏👏

My husband and I loves animals and we arrived 2:30 before closing and we made the best out of it. We saw almost everything but had to be fast. Well maintained and a lot a variety. The aquarium tube is fantastic. A must attractions on the island, no wonder they is pub all over the place.

Loro Parque is very unique. To call it a zoo would not do it justice. You can tell as you walk through the park that the staff really care about the place. They are constantly cleaning and maintaining the grounds, and the interactions with the animals at the shows are really impressive. You can tell there is a lot of trust between the handlers and their animal coworkers. Beyond that, the rare and endangered animals they have are too many to list. My wife and I had a great time and even made friends with a beautiful Pasquels Parrot. Highly recommend visiting! I recommend at least 5 hours to see everything, and bring good walking shoes as there are slopes and slippery sections.

Loro Parque is an exceptional experience, and exceeded our expectations. We attended all the shows and each show showed us the true beauties of these animals. We also got the beautiful feeling that each and every staff really love and care for these animals and it adds to the beauty of the experience. The whole park is exceptionally well kept and when you read around the park and listen to all the information when attending the shows, you realise how much the park really does and it makes you really appreciate the experience even more. We actually spent 6+ hours here and we still felt we could of stayed longer. We visited the Orca show twice as we needed to get splashed 😆 🤣. My favourite show was the Sea Lions but that's not to say that the Dolphins, Parrots & Orca's weren't worth the watch even if you want to watch them twice lol.

This place is definitely worth a visit! It’s interesting for everyone — from small kids to adults. The penguins are a must-see! Go up to the top of the Amazon section to take photos with the colourful parrots — it’s very impressive. There are plenty of shaded areas and spots to take a break, as well as a nice playground for kids. One of the most beautiful zoos I’ve ever seen!

Park that worth visiting. Many attractions for all ages. Orca, dolphin and sea lions show are great. Get ready to get wet when watching Orcas! Beautiful, well kept grounds with areas to relax. Food available on premises but very limited options. Animals kept in Loro Park look very happy and well cared for. Workers and trainers are happy to answer questions, there is no swimming with dolphins or orcas

It looks really nice, not too expensive and not too crawed. But, water is freezing cold. There are like thousands of people outside of the pool and 20 mazohists (or Eskimos?) in the pool. Shallow standing water, I expected it to be warmer than the ocean, but it's not. If you don't mind cold water then it's perfect for you.

This an honest review, in my opinion. The place looks well maintained. The price is €7 euros per adult and €3 for umbrella rental. There is a bar for drinks and a small on-site restaurant resterante Lago. I noticed a free lending library just at the entrance, too. Unfortunately when we went the changing facilities were closed as far as I could tell. So maybe wise to come prepared. Its fresh salt water pools fed from the sea.

Arrived and they had decided to close the pools without notice at 1.30pm. Apparently because it was a little windy!! The people already there weren’t not told to leave for their safety. Nothing was blowing around in there or anything! Sun beds still in place, nothing!! Absolute idiots ruining peoples holiday plans!!! If it’s for safety they evacuate the entire complex!! They’re just lazy!

Wonderful place to spend the day, you need to pay for entrance but it doesn’t cost much. Very clean and well prepared with changing rooms and cold showers. It would be better with warm water in the shower.

Little bit disappointed that the big pool has been closed since May. But other pools were open. Was still a great deal. When you get in, drinks and food are good and reasonably priced.

€7 entry each and €3 per umbrella. Really nice place to visit with multiple different pools to swim in. Lots of loungers so didn't struggle to find somewhere to sit. Outside space and bathrooms well maintained and kept very clean. Small shop you can buy snacks/drinks at, but limited on options available. Restaurant was ok, but not too expensive- lots of choice for food (we had sandwiches which were nice). Only downside really is it says you can't take your own food in (though a few people in front of us in the queue had cool boxes and didn't get stopped so don't know how strict they are on this!). Would visit again.

Nice place to spend time, we were there from 11 AM to 6 PM. Right by the sea, so you can watch the waves hit the rocks. But there were a few problems. -🎟 There isn't online ticketing, which means you're waiting in line in the sun to get in. -🌂 Our sun umbrella had disappeared when we returned from swimming. We explained this to the person handing out the umbrellas, but he said we had to rent another one instead just handing a second one out. Not customer friendly. -⌛️ At one of the restaurants, we had to wait a long time to pay because the waiter just disappeared. We ended up paying at the counter, as we had waited at least half an hour. They were either understaffed, or the waiter wasn't attentive. Furthermore, they could put signs up to explain why some of the sections are cordoned off. Instead, the life guards blow their whistle and tell people to move away from the sea walls every 20 mins or so. A nice place, and a little bit more effort in terms of infrastructure would make it in to a great Nice place to spend time, but there were 3 problems. -🎟 There isn't online ticketing, which means you're waiting in line in the sun to get in. -🌂 Our sun umbrella had disappeared when we returned from swimming.

This was a lovely cool oasis on a hot day. A great selection of trees and plants, the online map and plant ID guide was great for the ID of key specimens. Plenty of people there, but did not feel busy. Lots of benches to enjoy the shade and bird life. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing and fascinating place, well worth the €3 euros each. Spent about 2 hours pottering about. If you love plants and wildlife I'd recommend it so highly one of the best things we did all week. The man on the desk was super helpful too, despite us being sleep deprived and speaking zero Spanish, he was able to help us find a taxi rank and number. I'm sure we looked like fools haha!

The Botanical Garden serves as a tranquil sanctuary, offering visitors a considerable respite from the coastal heat and humidity. For an entrance fee of just 3 euros, guests can explore the winding pathways and admire a lush and diverse collection of flora, some of which are truly exceptional. There are a lot of strategically placed benches throughout the park for relaxation. Visitors planning their journey should be aware that the inland distance from the coast results in significantly higher temperatures, making walking to the location strenuous (at least for us it was 😅)

A bit small but very beautiful. Great selection of tropical plants. Whatever grows in my home is twenty times bigger in this place. We spend over two hours hiding from the heat. Very recommended.

3 euros per person to enter!! Well worth a visit and every penny paid! Loved the tropical feel , beautifully maintained! Toilets immaculate,free to enter!

Went here with family friends and I must say this is one of the most exotic parks I've been too. So many plants from different parts of the world organised in such a beautiful way. This definitely takes some studying to be able to manage this ecosystem. The place is more like a 30 min- 1 hour stroll. Its big but not thay big so keep that in mind. Even though the place is hot on the outside of the park, the inside is cool due to the shade of the trees. Free toilets upon paying a 2 Euro fee for locals, free for university students and kids under 8. I uploaded many pics so that they speak for the park.

A truly fabulous place. Lots of interesting plants, Koi Carp in the pond and a bargain at €3 per person. Slight criticism, the cashier at the desk very a very miserable man!

It's a nice place for afternoon hangouts, yoga, and other activities.

feels like you are in mexico 😀

nice play ground next to the beach

(Translated by Google) A nice area near the beach and in a beautiful park. Relaxing. The walk that leads to the city center is beautiful. (Original) Una bella area vicino alla spiaggia e in un bellissimo parco. Rilassante. Bella la passeggiata che porta al centro città.

Always good service and tasty food. Great to have some live music to listen too as well. And the chance to have a dance too

Highly, highly recommended. This restaurant is an absolute must if you are visiting Puerto de la Cruz. We visited twice and each time experienced 5 star service, excellent and perfectly presented food and live entertainment in a league of it's own.

If you are a smoker coming for drinks and a great location then this is your place. If you want service that is patient, quality food and eating without the taste and smell of smoke then you will find better alternatives. I an pretty sure smoking is banned on terraces at bars and restaurants in the Canaries but maybe this changed and it is too bad. Combined with a poor dish I can't recommend this place

We ended up here casually and we really enjoyed the food and the service, we ordered the set menu which have a very good portions and was very tasty too.

The food was superb. We have eaten here twice. First time I had fillet steak and it came with two steaks the second we shared tapas. The service is great and they speak English and make you feel comfortable.

Beautiful looking place with live music. But it’s too expensive for what you get. We had paella which wasn’t good (paid over 25 euros for 2ppl), it was too wet and didn’t taste much anything else but sea. I’d say this was a total disappointment. And something good to say: Before we got the paella we got some crackers and some local cheese and it was really good and also the bread they serve before food!

Went for tapas, and my word what a little find this was. Cheap dishes, lovely staff and an encyclopedia for a cocktail menu. The seabass bites were so good we ordered them twice. Oh, and there was a live guitarist and band to finish it all off - bangin'.

(Translated by Google) Today we hiked through the Orotava Valley at a mild 22 degrees. Very nice to walk with a wonderful view (Original) Bei milden 22 Grad sind wir heute durch das Orotava Tal gewandert. Sehr schön zu laufen mit herrlichem Ausblick

(Translated by Google) The town of La Orotava, a picturesque place and very good people. Heading towards Valle de Orotava you reach a viewpoint after a long curve. There is no need to go up if you have already done so at another viewpoint along the way, you don't see much else. Views of the Orotava and its valley and the sea. You can also see the mountain, I don't know if it was Teide because there was fog. The Google indication takes you to a house after a steep slope, don't go there, the viewpoint is a little further ahead. There is an Aloe Vera store next to the pharmacy with very good Aloe products. (Original) El pueblo de la Orotava, Sitio pintoresco y muy buena gente. La dirección de Valle de Orotava llegas a un mirador tras mucha curva. No hace falta subir si ya lo has hecho en otro mirador que hay en el camino, no se ve mucho más. Vistas de la orotava y su valle y del mar. Tambien se ve la montaña, no se si el Teide porque había niebla. La indicación de google te lleva a una casa tras una pronunciada cuesta, no te metas, el mirador está un poco más alante. Hay una tienda de Aloe Vera junto a la farmacia con productos de Aloe muy buenos.

(Translated by Google) I especially loved the vegetation for hiking, which I 100% recommend going to the valley. (Original) Me encantó sobre todo la vegetación para senderismo lo cual lo recomiendo ir al valle 100%

(Translated by Google) Spectacular views (Original) Vistas espectaculares

Amazing beach! Only locals here. There are quite large waves here. It is famous for that. We came here at 6pm and enjoyed jumping into the waves and sometimes getting turned around. There is a bar here. If you come by car I recommend parking about 1.5km before desceding to the beach. Once the narrow road starts you will be in trouble it you meet a car coming towards you. I swear it in the 15 minutes we walked down to the beach we passed several cars trying to manevour the narrow road. Overall, I highly recommend this beach, but beware of the waves! Come here if you enjoy waves!

Great beach with amazing views. Would not recommend expecting to swim. Pretty good walk and can be strenuous for some. Highly recommend -American

Worth the walk from Puerta de la Cruz! It took us about an hour each way, stopping to take pictures along the way. Bear in mind, there are lots of stairs/hills both ways. We were so glad we went. The black volcanic sand is so warm and soft. The huge volcanic rocks and cliffs are stunning. And the waves are huge and breathtaking.

Perfect beach with big waves, amazing to relax, bathing is forbidden though... 5€ for parking, but the road there is horror. You can tak a 4km easy walk there from Puerto. You have to handle a lot of tourists taking pictures. Bar at the beach is a plus, no bathing the downside.

Beautiful Black Sand Beach Whether you’re looking to surf the strong waves or simply dip your toes in the water and listen to the soothing sound of the ocean, this is the perfect spot. It has a peaceful, almost private beach vibe and even offers some natural shade in the afternoon ,great for those who aren’t big on sunbathing. We explored everything on foot, but if you’re driving, I’d recommend parking uphill and walking down. It’s well worth the effort

Amazing beach, nice hike to get there. The waves are very big and you cannot swim but they are spectacular. There is no shower available but that's ok, this beach is totally worth it.

Playa El Bollullo is a hidden gem in Tenerife – stunning black volcanic sand that looks straight out of a postcard. It’s incredibly remote, far from tourist crowds, giving you pure peace and a real nature escape. The waves are mind-blowing, powerful and perfect for surfing – last time I was bodyboarding (that board you lie on to catch waves), and it was an epic rush! Big downside: swimming is now completely banned – currents and waves are way too dangerous, signs everywhere warn you to stay out of the water. Getting there is tricky as hell – steep, narrow cliff path demands good shoes and caution, but the views make it worth every step. Overall, an unforgettable earth-shaking experience if you love raw adventure and untamed beauty. Go for the thrill, just admire the sea from the shore!

This orchid garden looks small but its not! It is filled with beautiful plamts and romantical hedges and arches. You can also find some history and art on the walls about this garden. You can feed koi fish, you can see birds and you can do a workshop painting. The orcids might be in pots, but they are lovely still. It is completely worth the price, only 5 euros for the complete access of this garden. If you walk by, just go in! Its so worth it, really cute cultural experience

I went expecting to get a real sense of the botanical vibrancy of the Canary Islands and instead found a monument to the colonial influence of the British elite with only a handful of native plants. There was no reference to this historical context, aside from a sign outside (not in affiliation with the garden). My other observation was that there was a very limited variety of orchids, I could only spot one or two species and they were the same ones you see in the supermarket. The garden has a real potential to educate tourists on the colonial significance of the space along side its beauty (as it really was stunning) and I would love to encourage that with this review!

Nice place to visit not too far from the main hotels and resorts area. Impressive collection of orchids and local trees and plants, you can feed the fishes or pet the owners cats that meet you at the entrance. 4.25€ entrance per adult.

A small botanical garden, with all kinds of plants. Orchids are not nearly as numerous as the name suggests. There is also a small pond with koy carp, it's quiet, a relaxed atmosphere. Neat, you can see that someone is constantly taking care of the maintenance. I visited it the first hour after opening, 10:00, and it was not crowded at all.

Lovely English style park, very homely, traces of old age and rare things preserved. The people who work there are very hospitable, the avenue of achids is very impressive. I felt like I was in the park of an English lord and his wife, who makes the park cosy. I recommend it to those who like peace and nature.

Absolutely beautiful, well kept place with a lovely little cafe at the bottom of the garden. The orchids are very impressive.

Very sweet little garden with orchids and winding paths past ponds. Well shaded and suitable for spending an hour at the most

Very nice Park above the downtown of the Puerto de la Cruz. It has a perfect view.

We were lucky to get one parking place over here.

A free parking place, very close to 2 nice public parks.

Do not park here for the center, it is waaay too high up the mountain for walking. You will find some parking along the shore.

Great parking spaces in beautiful park,it is full but you can find a spot always

(Translated by Google) Free parking, close to hotels. We stayed at the Taoro Garden Hotel for a week in July and had no problems parking. If there was no available space, it's worth waiting, as the turnover is high; we never waited more than 5 minutes for a free space in the evenings. (Original) Darmowy parking, blisko hoteli. Byliśmy przez tydzień w lipcu w hotelu Taoro Garden i nie było problemów z parkowaniem. Jak nie było akurat wolnego miejsca to warto poczekać, bo rotacja aut jest duża, nie zdarzało nam się czekać dłużej niż 5 minut na wolne miejsce w godzinach wieczornych.

(Translated by Google) Great, free parking. Good alternative to comfortable hotels. Not really suitable for the city due to the distance. (Original) Toller, kostenfreier Parkplatz. Gute Alternative für angenehme Hotels. Für die Stadt aufgrund des Weges eher nicht geeignet.

It's not one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife. In general, only large stones. There is also a section with black sand, but here you can also find stones. It seems to be sought after by surfing enthusiasts. There is a small cafe at the edge of the beach.

Spectacular views of the waves hitting the cliffs and an amazing panorama of the city . Sunny and hot even in febuary ! Finished with an amazing walk up the colourful stairs and beautiful flowers

Unfortunately, this is not a proper beach. There's hardly any sand, and it is full of rocks and stones, which make the sea inaccessible to swimmers. It's nice and relaxing watching the surfers, paragliding and some evenings there is live music. This creates a lovely vibe about the place, hence 3 stars.

Nice beach with nice waves. Good for surfing I think! Both stone and black sand.

This beach is not for swimming, but still really beautiful to visit. To watch surfers or to surf, there’s a little shop for people who want to surf. There’s a little cafe nearby. The view is great! And it’s so calming just to sit there and enjoy the waves.

Sad thing but they didnt solved the problem with pollution yet. Every beach on north have red flag and nasty foam. We were trying to find beach for swiming for 3 days but only one when it was possible, was the one with Sahara sand, but even there was toilet paper in the water. Canarias islands should do something about that really

An ok free public beach, easily accessible. It has a sandy area to lay down. Mosty, everything else is rocky. Great for surfing. There are lifeguards watching out.

Most important catholic church in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Well located. Main religious events take place in Holly Week, July and December.

Nice church, unfortunately was closed but took time out in the garden. Open today, beautiful inside. Remember €3 donation is the price of an ice cream to upkeep these ancient churches.

A well deserved and decorated with gold church in the middle of town. Handy for Sunday Mass

This temple houses some of the most revered images in Tenerife such as the Virgen del Carmen in Puerto de la Cruz and the Great Power of God. This temple has three naves separated by Tuscan-Roman columns and semicircular arches. The interior is made of wood with Mudéjar coffered ceilings so typical of Canarian religious architecture. Outside, the roof is covered with pointed Arabic tiles. Inside the temple we find a series of small rectangular chapels, which have nothing to do with the rest of the nave, since they were added later to the first factory. During the reform carried out at the end of the 19th century by the architect Manuel de Camara, the Canary balconies located in the upper part of the facade (from the side of the message and the gospel) were abolished, as well as the bell tower located at the beginning of these ships. In its place was a semi-circular vertical window with a gutter at the top and a sloping sill. The cornice was cut off, covering it with a parapet. A tower rises above the portal of the church, adjoining the beginning of the first nave. It consists of three successive bodies of decreasing width that conflict with the rest of the structure. Night view outside. Inside are numerous works of art, including four canvases adorning the altarpiece of the Gospel Chapel by Luis de la Cruz y Ríos, and five more paintings adorning the pulpit attributed to his father Manuel de la Cruz. In sculpture, the "Lord of the Great Power", an 18th-century work, deserves attention; Virgen del Rosario, from the 17th century; Saint John the Evangelist of the 17th century, as well as Saint Dominic, the famous Virgen del Carmen of Puerto de la Cruz and Saint Peter in his remorse for anonymous authorship. In jewelry, it is worth highlighting the excellent tabernacle made of gilded silver, made in Cuba in the 18th century by the famous silversmith Escobar. Baroque embossed silver litter given as a gift for Corpus Christi, also in the 18th century. Large cross overlaid with chased silver. Finally, other silver embossed parish litters acquired in the 18th century.

Nice ornate church in centre of puerto de la cruz.

Amazing place to visit situated in beautiful green area

Lovely large spacious church that is well worth stepping inside and taking a walk around. Well kept and very striking. Outside there is a lovely park attached to it with seating and a fountain. Perfect place to rest and contemplate.

A small beach, with large but round stones, so not very unpleasant. Located in the middle of the city, simple, undeveloped, there are no sunbeds, I didn't see a lifeguard. Good for a quick bath but nothing more.

Nice little fishing harbour in the centre of town. Not really a beach to speak of more just a small pebbly shore line. Theres a couple of benches to sit and chill.

Beautiful central point for the town, lots of local events happening while we were there.

I like it for the diving school there, otherwise i think it's the worst "pier" i have seen until now... I wouldn't even call it a pier but whatever. (funfact: it did cost the same as a normal real pier with pantalons... At least that's what people working there told me) They have a gigantic parking place, that is free to use, big plus point. And some nice shopping streets. It's at least worth a visit

Parking, you can leave your car here when hiking Teide. +- 10 min walk to route 09 and +-25 back from cable car

Lively place to feel the awesome power and energy of the ocean crashing on the volcanic boulders. Lovely views and seats to contemplate.

A small beach in the marina area which gets busy during the weekend. A number of visitors were jumping in and out of the sea enjoying themselves. It's a nice quaint area to enjoy people watching and enjoy the boats. We especially enjoyed watching the webcam before we visited.

Need to walk around to find them.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Nice, but I expected a bit more. (Original) Mooi, maar had er iets meer van verwacht.

(Translated by Google) Everything is very colorful. It reminded me a bit of Havana. Painted walls, colorful and varied houses.

Situated almost in the center of town, this small beach bay features a jetty and natural pool with an entrance just below the boardwalk. It has typical black sand, stony entrance/pier by descending into water by ladder, making it interesting for a quick rest, intense swimming, or snorkeling. While it may not be the top pick for the best beach of the year, it certainly has its unique charm.

A very nice public bath, specially with waves crashing

I had a such a brilliant time jumping in the sea from the harbour and swimming around while the waves crashed in. As a tourist I’m always envious of places like this that locals can use every day if they want. Bring a towel and a swimsuit, it’s worth it!

There are lots of crabs but don't be scared of them. Water is very clear and blue and there are a lot of fishes so many people are fishing there.

very picturesque beach, but not convenient for swimming as it is very rocky and wavy

Mostly rocky city beach but with a patch of beach also.

Very picturesque, but not very convenient for swimming everywhere. Not too much shadow, pebble beach

we walked from a long distance but it turned out that they closed 10 minutes before the deadline

We needed info on whether the santiago del teide to maska hike was open, we asked the young lady who had no idea what we were talking about, she found it on Google maps and advised it is open. She also advised we wouldn't be able to get there by public bus. Luckily before we tried the hike we visited maska on an organised tour, the info there told us the trail wasn't open, but they recommended some alternate hikes. We were also advised at the bus station that it is possible to get there by public bus. We found the tourist info no help at all unfortunately.

Puerto is a small local town with many hidden treasures. We love it as we enjoy exploring the Canarian history, culture and food. Sharing local festivals with the town's residents and appreciating their importance and significance has been very interesting. We have also enjoyed travelling to local areas by bus to explore. There are some great beach walks. The Tourist office has been very helpful in advising us on bus travel and local events.

Very helpful. Speak good English.

Great way to give information...

(Translated by Google) My good and interesting information from your staff. Informative tours of the city also depart there. (Original) Mi buena e interesante información por su personal. Allí, también parten recorridos informativos por la ciudad.

(Translated by Google) My day in Puerto de la Cruz began with a strategic stop at the Tourist Office, located in a traditional house next to Lago Martiánez. It was the perfect decision that gave meaning to everything that followed. The friendly service and the maps they provided helped me discover that Puerto de la Cruz is much more than just a sun and beach destination. Following their recommendations, I ventured into the historic center, getting lost in cobbled streets like Calle de Las Lonjas, where colorful facades and balconies overflowing with flowers created scenes of touching authenticity. Plaza del Charco was bustling with life and was the perfect place to pause and watch the comings and goings of locals and tourists. Without the tourist office, I would have missed gems like the Botanical Garden, an oasis of exotic species, Loro Parque, or the stroll to the Fishing Pier at sunset, from where the views of Mount Teide disappearing into the sea are simply spectacular. I ended the day on the beach, next to a sea of ​​stones of all shapes and sizes, where visitors play at seeing who can achieve the best balance and height by stacking them on top of each other. This confirmed for me that Puerto de la Cruz has a unique and relaxed charm. It was a day that demonstrated the value of starting any exploration with good information. (Original) Mi día en Puerto de la Cruz comenzó con una parada estratégica en la Oficina de Turismo, ubicada en una casona tradicional junto al Lago Martiánez. Fue el acierto que dio sentido a todo lo que vendría después. La amable atención y los mapas que me proporcionaron me ayudaron a descubrir que Puerto de la Cruz es mucho más que un destino de sol y playa. Siguiendo sus recomendaciones, me adentré en el casco histórico, perdiéndome por callejuelas empedradas como la de Las Lonjas, donde las fachadas coloridas y los balcones llenos de flores creaban estampas de una autenticidad conmovedora. La Plaza del Charco bullía de vida, y fue el lugar perfecto para hacer una pausa y observar el ir y venir de locales y turistas. Sin la oficina de turismo, me habría perdido joyas como el Jardín Botánico, un oasis de especies exóticas, el Loro Park o el paseo hasta el Muelle Pesquero al atardecer, desde donde las vistas del Teide sumergiéndose en el mar son simplemente espectaculares. Terminé el día en la playa, al lado de un mar de piedras, de todas las formas y tamaño, donde los visitantes juegan a ver quien logra el mejor equilibrio y altura, colocando una sobre otra. Esto me confirmó que Puerto de la Cruz tiene un encanto único y relajado. Fue una jornada que demostró el valor de empezar cualquier exploración con buena información.
