Whats different between Las Americas and Puerto de La Cruz?
First of all Puerto de La Cruz with the main tourist destination on Tenerife until the late 80s when Las Americas took the crown for good. As such it offers a oldy worldy style unavailable in the south. Puerto also suffers from low cloud quite often but in summer this can be a blessing for some. Until recently there were no beaches (or none you would call a beach) in Puerto hence the massive Martianez Lago which is a simply amazing array of pools all intermingling together in a massive seaside water world. Very good.
