Today, a press confrence was held to mark the tenth edition of the Agatha Christie International Festival in Puerto de la Cruz — and what a setting for the event: the historic and newly-refurbished Gran Hotel Taoro. With its storied past and elegant surroundings, the venue provided an ideal backdrop.
A Venue with History
The Gran Hotel Taoro is no ordinary hotel. Located in the north of Tenerife, it originally opened in the late 19th century and has hosted royalty, aristocrats and notable literary figures over its lifetime.
Among its guestbook entries is the famed mystery writer Agatha Christie herself — a poignant connection given the timing of the festival.
Whether you’re a die-hard Christie fan, a curious reader, a scholar of crime fiction or simply someone drawn in by the charm of northern Tenerife — this year’s festival promises something memorable.
