Things to Do and See Around Puerto de la Cruz

Sarah

If you’re heading to Puerto de la Cruz for a holiday this year, the best way to get out and explore this wonderful area of Tenerife is to hire a car.

Puerto de la Cruz itself is a pretty town and a popular holiday resort that’s a great spot for enjoying traditional Canarian surroundings and Tenerife’s glorious year-round climate. From here, you can hire a car with Tenerife Car Hire either in Puerto de la Cruz or at Tenerife North Airport, and discover some of the island’s best beauty spots.

Head to La Orotava, a lovely town with a distinctive Canarian charm, and spend a leisurely afternoon wandering along its winding streets and sampling the local produce in its tempting cafes and restaurants. Or, drive further along the north coastal roads and make regular stops at its small towns and villages. This is a great way to discover the ‘real’ Tenerife and you’re bound to find plenty of lovely little photogenic places – the type that the locals frequent and very few tourists know about.

It’s also well worth spending a day in Santa Cruz, the island’s capital city. This vibrant place is located in the far northeast of the island, and it’s a haven of traditional Spanish restaurants, tasty tapas bars, vibrant bars and cafes, and fabulous shops – perfect for melting some plastic and picking up some souvenirs for the folks back home.

And if you’ve got the kids in tow, a trip to Loro Parque is an absolute must. Here, your kids can discover such wonderful animals as tigers, gorillas, dolphins, whales, exotic fish and rainbow-coloured parrots. There are regular shows and demonstrations too.

So whatever you fancy, there is a seemingly endless list of things to see and do all over north Tenerife. It’s just a matter of getting behind the wheel, hitting the road and finding your favourite…

Best Tenerife North Attractions By Car

Sarah

If you’re looking to hire a car from Tenerife North Airport, there are dozens of wonderful places to see and experience all around the island’s northern region.

One of the main attractions for visitors, especially when you’ve got the kids in tow, is of course Loro Parque. It’s a hugely popular wildlife park on the edge of Puerto de la Cruz that was initially created as a sanctuary for parrots, and has developed over the years into a home for creatures great and small, including gorillas, sea lions, tigers, alligators, pelicans and sharks, along with an orchid garden featuring rare plants. Naturally, it’s a fantastic day out for the family and kids will love the many different animal shows and demonstrations.

Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

Moving on, Tenerife north is the perfect place to explore if you’ve hired a car and want to get out and discover the lesser-known side of the island. Puerto de la Cruz is a pretty town in itself and a popular holiday resort, so you’ll find plenty of things to see and do here. Or, head to the beautiful town of La Orotava, a historic place with an old mill and lovely winding streets, which boasts some fantastic restaurants.

Virtually at the end of the island, on its northernmost tip, is the Anaga Mountain range. This is a beautiful spot and one that makes a fantastic day out, walking, taking in the scenery and of course enjoying a picnic in one of its many beauty spots.

When you hire a car through TenerifeCarHire.com you can pick it up at the location of your choice – such as Tenerife North Airport – and drop your car off in a different location. It makes exploring Tenerife’s beautiful northern region a breeze – and gives you the utmost flexibility, so you can get on with enjoying your holiday any way you see fit.
