In the centre of Puerto de la Cruz is a promontory – in olden days called Misery Mount, as it is a volcanic badland – from where one gets the best view of the whole town. This green lung is the Taoro Park which in other times was a residential area for Puerto’s select foreign community. Now a public park, it covers almost 100,000 sq metres, divided into three different sections: los Jardines de La Atalaya, [Vantage Point Gardens], los Jardines del Taoro [Taoro Gardens] and Camino de la Sortija [Hoop Road]. Camino de la Sortija is where the British community used to run horse races , the aim being to catch a hoop on the lance. www.citpuerto.com/en/puerto-de-la-cruz/places-of-intere...
