Puerto de la Cruz


This easy-going (but ever-popular) cocktail bar and cafe exudes a chilled-out vibe, with art exhibitions, books to borrow, magazines to read and tables overlooking one of the prettiest squares in town. It's a lovely spot for a dose of early morning sun while relaxing in a bamboo chair out front. To eat there's tapas, and come evening the cocktails start from €4.
