Guided Tour of Historical Gardens & Plazas of Puerto de la Cruz

Part one of a two part series, where we celebrated the week of Puerto in Bloom with local volunteer tourist guide Ramon Michan as we wander around the gardens and plazas of Puerto de la Cruz.

In this first part, we start at the All Saints Anglican Church, and we pass by the Gran Hotel Taoro into the Gardens of Atalaya. Ramon shares some of the interesting history of Puerto de la Cruz - and in particular he talks about the Church, the English Library, early trading and the beginning of tourism in the town as we stop at various locations along our walk. If you would like to follow the route there are links to the locations below.
