Nightlife in Puerto

The highlight of an evening in Tenerife is the dinner.

What to do after dinner? If you spent the whole sunny day at the beach, had a heavy dinner with wine and a few brandies with your coffee, it is not such a bad idea to go to your hotel room and fall asleep. At least then you’ll be fit for the beach again in the morning.

… but there are other alternatives as well! Puerto de la Cruz offers nightlife to every taste. The center of entertainment is Avenida de Colón and its neighbouring streets. Just walk around and listen where the sound best fitting your mood comes from and join in.

Perhaps the best known restaurant with dancing in Puerto is ‘Café de Paris’ at Avenida de Colón. Another always popular venue is ‘Caballo Blanco’ at San Telmo. And the third venue of eternal popularity is ‘Zhivago’ at Puerto Viejo. A newcomer is the bar of the hotel ‘Noelia Playa’ at Avenida de Hermanos Fernandez Perdigon near the Playa Jardin beach. The atmosphere there is very relaxed. The most stylish venue is perhaps ‘El Coto’ in Hotel Botánico.

The young and young minded fill the discos at about midnight. The ‘bailando’ goes on to the early hours of morning. The most popular discos are ‘Victoria’ (over 30 years old!), Avenida de Colón, ‘Joy’, Calle Obispo Pérez Cáceras and ‘Concordia Club’, Avenida de Venezuela. In Los Realjos there is the disco ‘Coco-Loco’ of Hotel Maritim ; in La Paz disco ‘Qatar’.

Everywhere you can clearly see that people are on holiday and really enjoy themselves. On the dancing floors of the discos you see real performances and you can’t resist joining in. Everybody is happy and friendly and after a few drinks most people speak fluently all European languages.

If you like more peaceful atmosphere and mood music, choose a bar of a top class hotel like the ‘Tropical Palace’.

An unforgettable night can be spent in the nightclub ‘Isla del Lago’ located under Lago Martianéz. The international floor show is absolutely worth seeing. The admission is at least EUR 18 (the sum depends on whether you have dinner there or not).

There is an entrance fee to most discos and nightclubs. Usually it covers the first drink.

Genuine salsa can be enjoyed at the ‘Palacio de la Salsa’ in San Jerónimo, La Orotava.

Karaoke? Of course! E.g. in ‘The Cavern’ at Avenida de Blas Perez Gonzáles or in ‘The Buccaneer’ at Avenida del Generalisimo.

Cabaret? Sure! E.g. in the British Cabaret Bar ‘Harlequins’, Avenida Generalisimo 1. The place is packed with British tourists but there is always room for your party too.

‘Casino Taoro’ (built in 1892) is a must. The atmosphere there is sophisticated and men are expected to wear a jacket. At the Casino you can win a jackpot of one million euros with only one euro’s bet! It is just as likely as getting seven right in the Finnish lotto. The restaurant there serves fine food in grand surroundings. The bar is famous for its drinks. Youll remember for a long time the taste of ‘Cocktail Taoro’ (one of the ingredients of the drink is caviar!). The Casino opens at 7 o’clock. Many taxis take you there for free. Remember to take your passport with you! The entrance fee is EUR 3,00.

A very cosy evening can be spent in some of the multinous English pubs. They are of course crowded with the English but other nationalities are welcome as well. There are no dancing floors in the pubs but still improvised dances are arranged many nights, great fun!
