Puerto De La Cruz Holidays
Overview
Tenerife holidays might have you imagining a raucous nightlife with tourists merrily wending their way along what could be a sunnier, palm-ier version of any city in the UK, but the northern coast of the island is the antithesis of that, with acres of shimmering Hispanic architecture, exotic cultural ambience and black-silted coastline.
If you want a bustling club life full of English pubs and discos, try Playa de las Americas or Los Cristianos to the south. Alternatively, discover why holidays to Puerto de la Cruz attract a million tourists a year - an eclectic, if more subdued, nightlife, and tons to see and do, just a four hour flight away!
Puerto De La Cruz Weather
There are some rainy days in winter here, but it's still warm even in heavy downpours, meaning a light cagoule might be in order. But as you would expect in Tenerife the sun is otherwise omnipresent, with clear skies and astronomical temperatures of 25° Celsius in July, and around 15° Celsius by December. Sunscreen, yes - sweaters no!

Nightlife
Holidays to Tenerife mean experiencing some of the infamous nightlife, although here it's more tailored to an eclectic range of pubs and even one of Europe's most exclusive casinos. There are plenty of clubs and discos, though these are unusual in that they don't really get busy until the wee hours, staying open until dawn. head south to Las Americas or Costa Adeje for a night out.
Landscape
Situated in the heart of the lush Orotava Valley, the city itself is surrounded by the verdant greenery and exotic woodland so characteristic of north Tenerife. Traverse the natural park that sprawls across the valley to Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, which offers breathtaking vistas of the island. The beaches here, Playa Martinez and Playa Jardin, are of beautiful black lava-sand, forming a wide, dark swathe between the azure ocean and emerald-covered hills of Orotava.
