Puerto de la Cruz is the main tourist destination in northern Tenerife and one of the oldest on the whole island. Unlike the south, the northern climate is wetter, with regular afternoon clouds and milder temperatures. That difference shapes the guest type (higher share of continental Europeans who value cool climate) and the cleaning protocols (more attention to indoor humidity).
The vacation offer includes apartments in old complexes near Lago Martiánez, modern buildings in La Paz and traditional Canarian houses in areas like Las Dehesas. Lower tourism density than the south, but generally longer stays.
