Banana plantation east of Puerto De La Cruz

Walking - Heading east from the Lido of Puerto De La Cruz on the coast road, through the tunnels in the direction of the airport, once 200m through the tunnel, almost at the top of the hill, you see a road going underneath the main road, at a right angle. Climb down the bank onto this road.

Cruisiest spot: cruiser Update: I recently walked up to this spot on a footpath beside the main road from Puerto, past the tunnel on a very hot afternoon. It took about 30mins to reach a small flight of steps down the bank onto the track mentioned in the listing. If you are in a taxi it is not easy to spot where this track goes under the road. Cars can drive down this track which goes downhill through the banana plantations mentioned in the listing, and where it divides near a house, follow it to the right until you see some isolated derelict buildings ahead. The ground is now open and there is a car parking area on the right of the track. To the left of the track you can walk along the top of an old stone wall towards the sea (see photo) and when you reach the wall ahead there is a hidden place used for just down to the right behind brushwood (see photo). A further photo taken from the same place near the car park shows the rubbish on the ground and indicates going on there (see photo). If you follow this path forwards and to the right, it heads steeply down towards the nude beach at El Bollullo referred to in another entry.

Daytimes until dusk.

Sunset today · Sunrise tomorrow

Take a taxi 200m through the tunnel to save you climbing the hill. Walk back, downhill.
