La Paz Tenerife a Puerto de la Cruz elite suburb

La Paz Tenerife has been a VIP vacation spot since about the mid Seventies of XX. Some of the best hotels of Puerto de la Cruz are there.

However, it's also a delightful area for strolls through its streets, except uphill from the ancient quarters of Puerto Cruz.

This suburb called La Paz for short is a northern suburb of Puerto de la Cruz.
   
This hamlet named 'Peace' (la Paz)  was built on a hill about 100 m above the old Puerto Cruz at the level of Taoro Park. Here too,  more wind sings in palm trees. Mount Teide looks on from behind green slopes that are densely covered with pines. Most stunning ocean views are another plus.
   
Actually, you can see the former Taoro Hotel and Casino well when you walk down the picturesque and partly steep Calzada de Las Cabras. (goats' path). The photo was taken during a descent by Calle Leopoldo Cólogan Zulueta.

Everything grows in this Northern suburb of Puerto de la Cruz. Aso the most magnificent roses.

History of the most trendy suburb of Puerto de la Cruz

My tax adviser of 'Gestores Bernat' told me that her parents still remember la Paz when hardly more than its chapel Ermita San Amaro and bananas were there.
  
That was before an astro physics event in 1985. From then on, this location became a craze for real estate investment. Tall cranes helped to give birth to one hotel after the other.

A hotel in La Paz Tenerife with most remarkable park

Nothing gives away the amazing surprises of the Spa Hotel Botánico when you see it from the street.

In that hotel, more than one black swan  lives happily in a subtropical garden by a Thai lake.

Carps frolick under a Japanese bridge where oriental statues add to the Asian splendor.
   
This 5 star building complex which once looked like a regular mansion came into being after the astronomy event in the Eighties of century XX when business magnates, scientists, as well as kings and queens of Europe came to visit. Now, its high class Spa garden with oriental treatments  where Koi fish are part of the exotic make up is one of the oldest Tenerife luxury tourist enclaves. By the way, those were the days when the hotel's owner Wolfgang Kiessling started to put the entertaining Loro Parque shows onto world maps.
