Local tip from Tenerife

If you’re staying near Puerto de la Cruz, take a quiet morning walk through the Calle San Felipe area before the crowds arrive. It’s where locals grab breakfast and coffee. The nearby Parque Taoro offers nice shaded paths and glimpses of the old town’s character. This walk is refreshing, especially in spring or autumn when the weather is crisp but not hot. It’s a small way to see Tenerife from a local perspective, away from the main tourist routes yet close enough to pop into town afterward.
