Tourism
Tourism is an important industry in Puerto de la Cruz, as evidenced by the number of large hotels visible on the skyline.
Puerto de la Cruz is frequented by Northern Europeans during the winter months, due to its mild climate, and is particularly popular over Christmas and the New Year periods.
The Western European tourist contingent to Puerto de la Cruz tends to consist more of mature couples, in contrast to resorts such as Playa de las Americas.
The summer months see more Spanish tourists, particularly during August, when conditions on the Spanish mainland can be excessively hot.
