Puerto de la Cruz is a city and municipality in the northern part of the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. It was formerly known by its English translation, "Port of the Cross", although now it is known by its Spanish name in all languages. Puerto de la Cruz is located on the northern coast, 4 km (2 mi) northwest of La Orotava and 30 km (19 mi) west of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The TF-5 motorway passes through the municipality. The population is 30,483 (2018). In Spanish, the local inhabitants are known as Portuenses. With an area of 8.73 km2 (3 sq mi), the municipality is the smallest in Tenerife. The elevation of the town's centre is 9 m (30 ft) AMSL and the highest point being Las Arenas, a volcanic cone with an elevation of 249 m (817 ft).

The first tourists to reach Tenerife came to this place, and it has still not lost its intrinsic fishing village feel despite the hundreds of thousands of visitors that come here every year. Its fishing dock remains just as it used to be, welcoming the small fishing boats early in the morning with their fresh catches. The pleasure of sitting peacefully in Plaza del Charco is sublime. And an ice cream in one of the many parlours around it is a truly refreshing treat. And you can also experience the privilege of watching the waves breaking on the shore in Costa de San Telmo, with the spectacular lagoons of Lago Martiánez in view. The whole scene creates a fabulous picture postcard.
