Paseo de San Telmo
Paseo de San Telmo is located in Puerto de la Cruz. It lays between Jardin Beach and Martianez Beach and Lago Martianez.
Not far from the Lago Martianez there is a small beach called San Telmo, but it has a few disadvantages. It is too small, there are large stones, and often it smells like fish. Nevertheless, there are always people who sunbathe and even swim there. Locals believe it is a good idea to sit and look at the ocean on San Telmo beach, but we suppose it is better to swim on Jardin beach or Martianez beach, since they are both nearby.
The length of the promenade is about two kilometers, and all these kilometers are there to help you to enjoy the ocean breeze, admire the waves, listen to the rustle of palm trees and look at people who have come here from all over the world. Go to a cafe and drink sangria, wander through souvenir shops and choose gifts for loved ones, feed fish in the ocean, listen to the cries of seagulls, and enjoy life.
