UNDERSTAND PUERTA DE LA CRUZ:Puerto de la Cruz is the principle tourist centre of the island of Tenerife. A cosmopolitan, old colonial town known to tourists from all over Europe and beyond. For North Europeans it is the place to escape to from long cold winter nights. For South Americans a more pleasant climate than the harsh summer back home. For Peninsular Spanish a place to escape to from the harsh summer sun in Mainland Spain. Although no longer seen as an exotic location, Puerto de la Cruz still manages to attract some 900,000 visitors each year. Unlike too many Spanish and Canarian resorts, Puerto de la Cruz is no concrete jungle, though it does have an ugly modern part. It has its own long history as a major port for the Orotava Valley and as fishermen's haven. The old part, the core of the old colonial town, is a network of tree lined avenidas, narrow winding calles, shady plazas and steps running from one level to another. Many of the fine old houses with their distinctive Canarian balconies have survived. La Paz, the most recent development on the outskirts of town, is an example of what can be done with a new development. The importance of Puerto de la Cruz as a major tourist resort dates from long before the late 20th century boom in mass tourism. 19th century physicians, especially those in England and the Netherlands recommended to their patients that they spent the winter here for the good of their health. Several of the resort's oldest hotels date from this earlier tourist industry. The port of Puerto de la Cruz, together with that of Garachico, were the two main ports of the island. The port was principally used for the export of wine and as a fishing port. The local fisherman still use the harbour. Garachico lost its port, and most of the town during a volcanic eruption in 1706. The main shipping port for the island is now Santa Cruz, a main port of call for ocean liners. The town is a shoppers paradise. The "free port status" which the island enjoys allows imports from all over the world. A very large variety of goods are available from many hundreds of shops, often at good prices. Especially cheap are electronic items of every description, photographic gear, perfumes and alcohol. The shopper should though always be on their guard as cheap is often cheap and tacky. Shoppers should take note of the tendency of many Taiwanese companies of naming and packaging their products in a manner that bears a striking similarity to well known Japanese brands. When buying always ensure that you have an international guarantee. Puerto de la Cruz hosts a major international festival - La Carnaval. A smaller version of its big brother in Santa Cruz, but on a more human and friendlier scale. The whole town comes alive every night. People are on the street until the early hours of the morning. Everyone is in fancy dress. A group of friends or a family will pick a theme, the theme changes every night. The middle of the carnival coincides with Ash Wednesday, in Puerto de la Cruz this is the night of the Funeral of the Sardine. A large figure of a sardine is carried through the town to be burnt on a funeral pyre in the harbour, followed by a spectacular fireworks display. The girls are dressed in black, their faces daubed in ash, a posy of white flowers in their hands. It can be a frightening spectacle as they roam wailing through the streets. La Carnaval opens with a procession on one weekend, and closes with a large procession on the following weekend. For the closing procession everyone takes part. Before the start of the carnival a competition is held to find the best dressed participants and to elect a Carnival Queen. Every night various South American Salsa bands play in Plaza del Charco. Around the square and lining the side-streets are to be found booths selling food, drinks trinkets. Loud music blasting from the booths, each one playing a different tune. One night of rest. This is when everyone decamps to Santa Cruz to watch and participate in the big event. You have not lived until you have danced the night away at La Carnaval. Besides La Carnaval there are several other festivities. One of the strangest is 'the Night of the Tin', that takes place on St Andrew's Night, 29th of November. St Andrew's Night, is the night that the cellars are traditionally opened and the new wine sampled. On this night the young of the town run around like crazy dragging behind them bits of tin on a string. These bits of tin, can be anything from a few Coke cans, a tin bath, to a car door. The racket generated is horrendous. The significance of this event I have never been able to discover. Apart from the festivities associated with the various carnivals, Puerto de la Cruz also plays host to a major international ecological film festival. |
