Puerto de Santiago has been singled out as an ideal base from which to explore the hidden gems that can be found in the north of
Tenerife.
Having spent a few days relaxing on
Playa de la Arena, visitors to Puerto de Santiago may be tempted to delve a little deeper into the island - and many of its most attractive features are but a stone's throw away.
For example, the Herald recommends taking a cable car to the peaks of the extinct Mount Teide as a way of reaching the heart of Tenerife's volcanic history.
What villages such as
Los Silos and Icod de Los Vinos lack in the mountain range's natural splendour, they certainly make up for in charm, while a walk through the Masca Gorge is recommended to those who are up to the task.
While in Puerto de Santiago, holidaymakers may also like to take a boat trip past the towering cliffs of
Los Gigantes.
