Geographical influences

Puerto de La Cruz is on the north coast of Tenerife, between the regions of Los Realejos and Santa Ursula. Resorts in the north have a very slightly cooler and wetter climate to those in the south, because they’re exposed to the wind and rain that can sometimes reach this Canary Island from the north. But Puerto de La Cruz is at the base of the La Orotava valley, which means it gets slightly less rain and more sunshine than towns nearby.
