Puerto de las Cruz
Originally the town thrived as a port, possibly help by the blocking of the harbour at Garachico by an eruption. It was also handy for the nearby city of La Orava for exporting wine. There are still old buildings around, look for the carved balconies. The church of Nuestra Senora de la Pena de Francia is from the 17th century. There are many large quality hotels and a wide selection of restaurants. Enjoy the natural swimming pools, the massive artificial lake, and the botanical gardens. Puerto de la Cruz again has a flourishing selection of bars discos and restaurants and you may be tempted to try your luck at the tables in the Casino Taoro – a former stately hotel. Lido Martinezswimmers and sunbathers should try the Lido Martinez with it's 7 saltwater pools, islands and fountains, it makes for a very popular day out. Places to see
