A travel expert suggests a vibrant city in Tenerife as an ideal destination for a sunny holiday, where you can enjoy a bottle of wine for approximately £5 and soak up the pleasant 24C temperatures in April.
Natasha Mooney, a TUI travel advisor, has been organizing trips to Tenerife for over a decade and shares her time between the UK and Güímar in northern Tenerife with her husband, Javier.
Describing Tenerife as her specialty due to her extensive experience, Natasha recommends Puerto de la Cruz, a coastal city known for its seawater pools, black-sand beaches, picturesque harbor, and historic old town, offering visitors an authentic Spanish experience away from the bustling crowds.
Puerto de la Cruz boasts a blend of beach relaxation and vibrant city life, with its iconic saltwater pool complex, Lago Martiánez, designed by renowned Canarian architect César Manrique. The complex features interconnected pools surrounded by volcanic rock and palm trees, offering a picturesque setting against the backdrop of Mount Teid volcano.
In addition to the stunning beaches like Playa Jardín and Playa Martianez, Puerto de la Cruz showcases vibrant street art, including the Puerto Street Art Project, and unique attractions like the Agatha Christie Steps art installation.
Visitors can explore botanical gardens like Sitio Litre Garden, stroll along colorful streets filled with alfresco bars, and savor local wines such as Listán Blanco or Malvasía whites and Listán Negro reds, available at affordable prices in local establishments.
The culinary scene in Tenerife, rich with traditional Canarian cuisine, is highlighted by family-run guachinches that serve authentic dishes paired with local wines, offering a unique and affordable dining experience.
Travelers can easily access Puerto de la Cruz with budget-friendly flights from various UK airports, including London Stansted, Birmingham, Bristol, and Glasgow, making it convenient to embark on a trip to this charming coastal city.
For those interested in visiting Puerto de la Cruz, TUI offers a seven-night package at Hotel Rui Garoe starting from £634 per person, catering to two adults on a half-board basis, including travel arrangements and luggage allowances.
