A Seamless Journey to Puerto de la Cruz

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I am always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that are both enjoyable and educational. Our recent trip to Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife was just that. The convenience of the Puerto de la Cruz City Tour made it an ideal choice for our family. The air-conditioned coach picked us up right from our hotel, sparing us the hassle of navigating public transport with kids in tow. The journey from Golf del Sur to Puerto de la Cruz was smooth and comfortable, taking less than two hours. This was a significant improvement over the nearly three-hour public transport option.

The kids were thrilled to be on a new adventure, and the scenic drive through Tenerife’s diverse landscapes kept them entertained. As we approached Puerto de la Cruz, the excitement in the air was palpable. The city, nestled between the ocean and lush hills, promised a day full of exploration and discovery.

Exploring the Heart of Puerto de la Cruz

Upon arrival, we were given six hours to explore the city at our own pace. Our first stop was the iconic Plaza del Charco, a vibrant square that serves as the heart of Puerto de la Cruz. The kids loved the fountain and the surrounding palm trees, while I appreciated the blend of history and modernity that the square offered. It was a perfect spot to sit back, enjoy a local snack, and watch the world go by.

Next, we made our way to the Botanical Gardens, a short walk uphill. The gardens were a hit with the kids, who were fascinated by the variety of plants and the chance to learn about different species. The views from the gardens were breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista of the city and the sea beyond. It was a wonderful opportunity to teach the kids about the importance of biodiversity and conservation in a fun and engaging way.

Relaxing at Playa Jardín

No trip to Puerto de la Cruz would be complete without a visit to Playa Jardín. Designed by the renowned artist César Manrique, the beach is a masterpiece of natural beauty and artistic design. The kids were eager to splash in the waves and build sandcastles, while I took a moment to relax and soak in the sun.

The beach’s unique black sand and the surrounding gardens provided a stunning backdrop for our family day out. We strolled along the promenade, enjoying the sound of the waves and the sight of the lush gardens. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, allowing us to unwind while still discovering new things.

As our day in Puerto de la Cruz came to an end, we boarded the coach back to our hotel, tired but happy. The Puerto de la Cruz City Tour had provided us with a seamless and enjoyable experience, allowing us to explore this beautiful city without the stress of planning every detail. It was a day well spent, filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories.
