Although this is the smallest municipality in Tenerife, covering just 8.7 km2, Puerto de la Cruz has plenty of appeal with its protected historic quarter and its seemingly endless coast. Puerto de la Cruz spans the coastal part of the Valley of La Orotava in a stunning setting, with the mighty silhouette of Mount Teide rising 3,718 m high in the background. Its wonderful climate made this the first tourist destination in the Canary Islands. Puerto de la Cruz has been considered a National Tourist Interest Site since 1955 because of its tradition as a centre for rest and recuperation and as a holiday destination. Its fascinating and beautifully kept historic quarter, with over 140 protected buildings, is a pleasure for everyone who strolls through it.
