Titolo 4
Escalera de Agatha Christie
Puerto de la Cruz
When you arrive at Paseo San Amaro and come across this staircase, the first thing you notice is the color. These aren't ordinary steps: they're painted like the spines of Agatha Christie novels. Each section represents a title linked to her career, creating a small open-air literary tour right in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz.
The staircase is a tribute to the British writer's visit to Tenerife in 1927. She came during a difficult time in her personal life, following her divorce, and found on the island an environment that brought her calm and inspiration. From this period emerged stories like "The Man from the Sea" and novels like "The Mystery of the Blue Train." It is this connection that the municipality decided to commemorate by transforming an everyday urban element into a visible and accessible artistic intervention for everyone.
When you climb it, it's not just a curious photo opportunity. You feel how public art can tell a story. It's a brief but meaningful stop that reflects Puerto de la Cruz's commitment to cultural tourism and integrating literature into its open spaces.
It's not a monument or a museum, and that's precisely its charm. It's a creative detail amidst the promenade, a blend of culture, memory, and color that adds another layer to the city tour and is currently one of the most photographed spots in Puerto de la Cruz. If you enjoy literary allusions and discovering little tributes hidden in the streets, this staircase deserves a place on your itinerary.

Where to eat
Persia Tenerife
If you're looking to try something different in Puerto de la Cruz, this restaurant offers a taste of the Middle East without leaving the historic center. Here you'll find Persian cuisine bursting with intense aromas, where saffron, fresh herbs, yogurt, and nuts define the character of the dishes. I love it because it doesn't try too hard to be a tourist: it invites you to discover authentic Iranian flavors in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
What to see
El Cartel de la Autopista
At kilometer 32 of the TF-5 highway, near El Rincón, a sign painted on the hillside surprises thousands of drivers every week. Its witty phrases, signed "Anoniman," blend humor, current events, and reflection, transforming a stretch of morning traffic into a brief moment of inspiration.
Activities
La Guarida del Pirata
At The Pirate's Lair, you don't come to just watch: you come to play, explore, and become part of a story. It's an outdoor family adventure park in Los Realejos, designed for birthdays and experiences where children and adults solve riddles, follow pirate maps, and live a real adventure in the heart of nature.
Beaches
Playa el Ancón
El Ancón beach in La Orotava welcomes you with its dark volcanic sand and a deep blue sea that shifts with the light. It's a wide beach with lively waves and a natural setting that invites you to stroll, gaze at the horizon, and feel the power of the Atlantic. Ideal if you love authentic, unspoiled beaches with a pristine volcanic landscape.
Nightlife
Shopping
Las Llanadas
If you enjoy discovering local products directly from their source, this small artisanal cheese factory in Los Realejos is one of those places where cheese is still made the traditional way. They work primarily with goat's milk and produce fresh, semi-cured, and smoked cheeses, as well as ricotta and other dairy products. It's a place closely linked to the primary sector of northern Tenerife, where the authentic flavor of Canarian cheese takes center stage.
Sports
Barranquismo Barranco de Los Arcos
The Barranco de los Arcos, in La Orotava, is one of Tenerife's most impressive canyoning spots. Its route passes through volcanic rock landscapes, natural caves, and the famous rock arches that give the area its name. It combines rappelling, hiking, and geological exploration in a wild and breathtakingly beautiful setting. Ideal for adventurers seeking an authentic and unique experience in the heart of Tenerife's natural beauty.
Trekking
Sendero de Los Organos
The Los Órganos Trail, in the Corona Forestal Natural Park, is one of the most iconic routes in La Orotava. It passes through a thick, beautiful pine forest to reach the impressive basalt cliffs reminiscent of organ pipes, formed by volcanic action. With views of the Orotava Valley and Mount Teide, it is an ideal hike for nature lovers and those who enjoy peaceful hiking.
