Puerto de la Cruz is the second largest tourist city on the island with accommodation for around 30,000 tourists.

The Old Town is very pretty in parts and it is one of the few resorts where the locals still work, eat and drink. One of the greatest attractions of el Puerto is without doubt the Lago Martianez.
