It can be daunting, travelling on public transport in a place you’re not used to. So many questions mean tourists may avoid visiting different areas of the island for fear of: Getting on the wrong bus. Not being able to get back. Having no idea how to read the bus timetable. Getting lost. Not knowing READ MORE

The New Robin Hood
For the Brits among us who like a little bit of home cooking even whilst they are abroad, I would just like to say how great the Sunday Roast is at the New Robin Hood located under the Bel Air (the tall building!) First of all you do need to book in advance as Phil READ MORE
Terraza del Marquesa
We look love to eat at this restaurant for two main reasons. The first is because it is a great place to people watch and the second is because there is a singer – so we can enjoy some live music whilst we eat our meal. Located on the front terrace of the Hotel Marquesa READ MORE
Atlantic Mirage SpaÂ
Highly recommended! This Spa is absolutely amazing, it’s very different to the other spas in Puerto de la Cruz mainly due to its low lighting with makes the atmosphere so much more relaxed. Facilities are clean and include changing rooms, showers with shampoo, lockers, toilets and the towel is included in the price of €20 READ MORE
Plaza del Charco

Vinoteca Con Pasión
At @vinotecaconpasion you can always enjoy beautiful wines, a good atmosphere, delicious tapas and staff with a passion for the business. And all dishes are equally tasty and beautifully presented. Their knowledge of Canarian wines is incredible. The “tiendita” with all these wines and even more local products is also definitely worth a visit. Greetings. READ MORE
Plaza Compostelana
Thoroughly enjoyed a meal in one of the Compostelana Restuarants.  This chain has five restaurants in Puerto de la Cruz and one in Santa Cruz. Two of their restaurants are dotted around the edge of the Plaza del Charco. The restaurant in the centre of the square itself is also part of their group. We READ MORE
Ibéricos Gastro-Bar
Along Calle de Hoya, just up from The Beehive, is a lovely restaurant that we really recommend for lunch or dinner Ibéricos Gastro-Bar is just that, gastro. Which means it’s not a cheap place to eat. It does, however, serve amazing, fresh, homemade food and that is what you are paying for.
The English Library
A little gem of a place, the English Library is located in the Parque Taoro area of Puerto de la Cruz. It first opened its doors in 1903 and since then has been a focal point for the British ex pat community in the north of the island of Tenerife. Run solely by volunteers, its READ MORE
El Pescador
EL PESCADOR restaurant is located just off the Plaza del Charco, up a little hill in Calle Puerto Viejo. It is one in the gradually expanding Padrino Group of restaurants – the others being El Padrino (located more or less in the parallel street to El Pescador), El Padrino San Amora in La Paz and READ MORE
