North of Tenerife at Puerto de la Cruz
💺traveling from London Heathrow ✈️ and landing in Tenerife South–Reina Sofía Airport 🛬, A reasonably short flight at around 4.5 hours.
We had a private transfer 🚖 travelling up the east coast to Puerto de la Cruz in the north of the island 🏝️
The trip only took about an hour and ten minutes ⏱️and was nice as you can see the beautiful views along the drive up the costal road 🌅,
you can choose a shorter travel from Tenerife North–Ciudad de La Laguna Airport around 30mins to Puerto de la Cruz, but the flights are less
🏝️There are many places to visit and explore with beaches and nature Walks, Botanical Gardens and The Teide National Park, Loro Parque Zoo to visit,
The water park “Lago Martiánez” well worth the visit as for as low as €5.50 (£4.88) per adult, child tickets are around €2.50, you can also get weekly tickets it’s from 10am to 6pm you can enjoy the large selection of Man made seawater pools and coves with bars food stalls though out it is great chance to relax without having to spend a fortune 💰.
There are many attractions in the area and it is well worth visiting by arranging a guided tour or for the more adventurous making your own plans hiring a car of getting a bus which I will mention further on.
🏨A huge selection of accommodation options are available for your stay, for all budgets and although the are many people that choose all inclusive options which are great although I would suggest reading reviews on the different hotels, resorts and accommodation options,
Many of them are wonderful but as everywhere you find you might not get what you expect.
🛌I can recommend self catering as one option,
Eating out is cheap and much variety to choose from.
🥘 If your on a tighter budget then every restaurant in Spainish law have to a menu of the day (Menu del Dia)
This consists of three course meal and sometimes even wine as well and average of €10(£8.88) - €15 euros
The menu del dia was introduced to offer an affordable meal to the workers who couldn’t make it back home for lunch. It has become a staple across Spain and is a fantastic way to eat and keep the price down.
Also a lot of bars offer tapas and although not often free is normally between €1-€2 euros.
🛍️If you like shopping again there is a wide range of shopping some places will try to over charge but if you are happy to wander and shop there are many shops offering lower prices and wide selection of products, food shopping is very reasonable and a trip to the market is well worth it
🚗If you’re happy driving then car hire is amazingly cheap and well worth it, But it does works out cheaper to get 3 - 5 or more day hire.🚌Buses are a fantastic way to travel and travel cards are the best way to budget as you often get discounts for paying in advance🚖Taxis can be expensive but if you ask for the price first you can get a deal.
