The north of the Tenerife is very different in character and appearance from the south - it is much more lush and colourful. Puerto de la Cruz is an attractive Spanish town on the north coast, with buildings dating back to the 16th century. Though it is the longest established of all resorts on Tenerife, more modern development has not obliterated its original charm. Much of the area around the old fishing port is full of narrow cobbled streets packed with older and interesting architecture.
For shopping, there is a wide variety of small shops in the town centre, and on most days there is a market set up in the old quay. There are also large modern shopping malls near the town centre and at the southern end of town. Extensive further shopping can be found in the capital, Santa Cruz, 25 minutes away by car, or 40 minutes by bus. Santa Cruz also has numerous museums, and a spectacular new Concert Hall which hosts a wide range of classical, jazz and other events.
For beach lovers, Playa Jardin is a series of 3 linked beaches surrounded by landscaped gardens, with bars and restaurants. These beaches have recently been awarded the Blue Flag accreditation, and have extensive facilities in the way of showers, changing rooms and lavatories. In addition, the Lago Martianez, down on the seafront, is an area of 7 huge freeform swimming pools (one a seawater one), with bars and restaurants within the complex.
Just beyond Playa Jardin is Loro Parque: more varieties of parrot than you could imagine, a zoo, lovely gardens and lots of dolphins who put on an amazing acrobatic show several times a day. It also has the biggest collection of penguins outside Antarctica. There is a golf course, La Rosaleda, on the outskirts of the town.
