Puerto de la Cruz, with its old fishing port and cobblestone streets, is charming!  The most visited town on the island, Puerto de la Cruz boasts botanical gardens, banana plantations, and even a parrot park.  Santa Cruz, the financial center of the island, is a bustling harbor for cruise ships and the perfect place to do a little power shopping!
