The Museo del Pescador gives you a closer look at the fishing heritage behind Puerto de la Cruz's harbour. Run by the Cofradía de Pescadores Gran Poder de Dios, the museum is on Calle Las Lonjas beside the fishing quay. It makes a rewarding cultural stop when you are exploring the old town on foot, especially if you are curious about the people and boats connected to the port.
What will you see at the museum?
The Casa Museo del Pescador focuses on the town's connection with the sea. Its fishing guild highlights model boats among the exhibits, with a range of vessels that invite you to look more closely at maritime craft and local memories. The museum adds a human story to the working harbour outside: Puerto de la Cruz grew around its port, and fishing remains part of that identity.
Watch our filmed museum visit below for a look inside before you go.
Where is the Fisherman's Museum?
The museum is at Calle Las Lonjas 5, beside the fishing harbour in central Puerto de la Cruz. It is easy to combine with a walk around the quay, the old streets and nearby Plaza de Europa. Look for the Cofradía de Pescadores Gran Poder de Dios, the local fishing guild that presents the museum.
For a route along this part of town, watch our San Telmo to El Muelle walk. Plaza del Charco is another useful landmark when exploring the centre.
A harbour with a fishing story
The museum belongs within the wider story of the port. The Cofradía supports the fishing community and has its base by the quay; the museum brings that connection to life through objects and memories. After your visit, take time to look back towards the harbour and its surrounding streets. This is a small part of town where a museum visit and a waterfront walk naturally fit together.

Before you visit
The museum is on Calle Las Lonjas beside the harbour. Its opening arrangements can change, so check the Cofradía's current information if you are planning your day around the visit. The museum and the fish market are distinct parts of the guild's work; check the museum details specifically. Leave time to explore the quay and nearby old-town streets afterwards.
