Set in the north of Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz is the place to be. From here you can explore beaches, family attractions and historical monuments – all from the comfort of your car hired with Avis.

We make car rental easy, because we know you can’t wait to feel the freedom of the road and get the very most out of your stay. Wherever your travels take you, the keys are waiting for you to unlock the world.

Puerto de la Cruz is the place to experience the vibrancy and liveliness of Tenerife, but a more tranquil island experience lies beyond. Venture further afield to unlock the quieter side of Tenerife.

Rambla de Castro

Just 7km west of Puerto de la Cruz lies Rambla de Castro – a must-visit if you want to sample Tenerife’s natural beauty at its finest. Here you’ll find a number of dramatic sea cliffs, perfect for sunset walks, as well as the famous Los Roques beach. Other attractions in the area include a mansion once owned by the island’s famous Castro family, and the ruins of San Fernando fort.

La Orotava

La Orotava is another town in the north of Tenerife, roughly a 15-minute drive from Puerto de la Cruz. This is undoubtedly the most stylish town on the island. As you drive through the streets, you’ll notice Renaissance mansions and other architectural treasures. Its top attraction (and the most prominent church in town) Iglesia de la Concepción is a gothic masterpiece. Be sure to visit the Museo de Ceramica to cast an eye over 1,000 pieces of Spain’s finest pottery.

With an Avis car hired at Tenerife Puerto De La Cruz, you’re free to explore the very best of northern Tenerife and beyond at your own pace.

 

Puerto de la Cruz houses many of Tenerife’s star attractions and is the perfect place to start your tour of the island. Whether you want to stay on your toes with a fun-packed family holiday or unwind with a more laid-back, relaxing break, a car hired from Avis gets you where you need to be.

From the centre of Puerto de la Cruz, it’s a mere five-minute drive to the most popular beach in the area, Playa Jardin. This beach features 1km of fine black sand and is backed by a stunning cactus garden ready to explore.

At the northern tip of the island – just a 10-minute drive away – is Costa Martiánez. Here, saltwater is pumped from the ocean into a waterpark featuring pools and cascading waterfalls.

After dusting off the sand from a day at the beach, head to the picturesque portside – the perfect setting for an evening stroll. Many restaurants hide here, while colourful street vendors frequent the area serving up traditional Canarian food. It’s hard to resist the aroma of freshly cooked paella wafting through the streets.
