The Plaza del Doctor Victor Perez is a quiet little garden lined with palm trees. The Calle de Quintana connects this plaza with the plaza major, Plaza del Charco. The garden was constructed and named in honour of a local doctor, Victor Perez, in 1904. The plaza major itself also makes a quaint little park where it is lovely to go and sit and have a drink and catch up with friends. Further up the Calle de Quintana, one will find the Parque de San Francisco. This is where most of the town's cultural events take place. It was the site of a Franciscan convent which burned down in 1967.
There are also many other interesting places that you can go and visit in Puerto de la Cruz. You are able to spend a day wandering around the shops that there are. Because Tenerife is a partly tax free area it makes prices of a lot of things cheaper than in most other European Union countries. This means that not only can you enjoy a days shopping in the warm sunny weather but you can also take great pleasure in buying more items for less money! If you go to the markets that they have in Puerto de la Cruz then you can find even better bargains.
