It has one of the most beautiful town centres on the island, and the best way to get to know it is by walking aimlessly through the city, discovering each corner of this impressive coastal town, which has managed to maintain its traditional charm despite its touristic development.<\/p>\n<p>The city owes its name to the tremendous importance that its port used to have. The first port was built in 1506 in the area where you can now find <a href=\"https:\/\/gotenerife.net\/en\/explore\/playa-jardin\/\">Playa Jardin<\/a>. It is known as \u201cPuerto Viejo\u201d (Old Port) and today you can find a bronze sculpture which pays homage to the fisherman\u2019s wife, who would be a key figure in the origins of Puerto de la Cruz.<\/p><div id=\"goten-3615221307\" class=\"goten-content_2 goten-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-0088719563045673\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0088719563045673\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The current port, known as \u201cPuerto Nuevo\u201d (New Port), is located next to the <em>Bater\u00eda de Santa B\u00e1rbara<\/em>, and in front of the <em>Casa de la Aduana<\/em> (The Custom House) in <em>Plaza de Europa<\/em>, the largest and most emblematic square in Puerto de la Cruz.
