Escape the chaos on a Santa Ursula holiday
A town that overlooks the beautiful Orotava Valley and the popular resort of Puerto De La Cruz, Santa Ursula is the perfect place to go if you want to experience the traditional side of Tenerife. On a Santa Ursula holiday, breathe in the truly beautiful scenery over your morning coffee and avoid noise and bright lights in the evening. If your party days are behind you and you’re longing for a bit of peace, jet off to Santa Ursula and enjoy a quiet, relaxed getaway.
Surround yourself with nature on a Santa Ursula holiday
Whether you want to stay put in this idyllic northern town or explore the neighbouring villages and scenery, Santa Ursula is an ideal place for a laid back holiday full of culture. Take a stroll through the historic town centre and step into a church dating back to the 17th Century. Enjoy some Canarian food at one of the many restaurants lining the town square, before walking down to Santa Ursula’s costal area, known locally as La Quinta. Take your binoculars with you and look out for the sea birds, weaving their way in and out of the dramatic cliff backdrop. By choosing a Santa Ursula holiday, you’ll be able to really appreciate all of the natural beauty that this region has to offer.
You’ll probably be able to see it from your hotel window, but why not spend the morning visiting Mount Tiede, the island’s volcano. Or if you’re feeling particularly active, there are plenty of places to hike and take in more of the surrounding wildlife, check out the impressive Mencey Bencomo cave known as the area’s ‘natural balcony’, overlooking the Orotava Valley.
If you fancy a cocktail on the beach, then the nearby resort of Puerto De La Cruz is only a 10 minute drive away and home to the beautiful beach, Le Jardin. Stay on in Puerto De La Cruz to try out some of the restaurants on the main promenade and if you feel like another cocktail or three, then there are plenty of places that will oblige. Head back to Santa Ursula and enjoy a night cap in one of the town’s quieter bars, before walking back to your hotel and watching the sun go down over the stunning landscape.
