Tour privato di 6 ore a La Orotava + Puerto de La Cruz con prelievo dall'hotel

I saw Puerto de La Cruz again after about ten years on a hot and muggy day. The walk is beautiful from which you can see the Martianez seawater pools with islets (on which sunbeds and umbrellas are positioned) representing the 7 Canary Islands. Some time ago I swam there pleasantly and in an even earlier moment I had been in the place below sea level which included a theater (with excellent international performances) and a casino. The visit to the older center with the houses with wooden balconies was pleasant, as was the walk in front of the church with the frangipani trees. The rest of the city is modern, anonymous. La Orotawa has a nice historic centre, but the Casas de los balconies which I remembered being better kept are a bit disappointing and their museum is not worth the €6 per person for a quick visit to the upper floor where you can't get inside for 4/5 rooms, but only look at them from the entrance door and which are furnished but have nothing more than the old houses of our ancestors. The ground floor is a whole display of tourist souvenirs with the usual things you find around including all the tablecloths and similar items, most of which are machine-made and chinoiserie. Disappointment then for the missed visit to the carpet museum (huge paintings painted with sand on the floor and depicting sacred characters) which I once remembered in front of the Casa de Los Balcones and now next door, in a municipal building which did not display any opening hours. visit and that it was closed that day. None of the managers of the surrounding premises knew when there would be someone to open it. On the way back to Los Cristianos, the stop at Candelaria was interesting, which on 15 August and 2 February celebrates the Virgin of Candelaria, patron saint of all the Canary Islands.
