Plaza Europa
The Plaza Europa, a balcony of sorts built in 1992, may be a modern addition, but it blends well with its historic surroundings and is a good place to start your visit. The tourist office is here, in the Casa de la Aduana, opposite the town hall.

Plaza Charco
The heart of Puerto de la Cruz is the lively Plaza Charco, centred around an ancient Indian laurel tree. The plaza acquired its name because it used to flood from the sea every time there was a heavy storm (thankfully, no more).
