Punta Brava, the 'wild point“, is a rocky spit of land marking one end of a black lava-sand beach (Playa Jardin), while on the other end you have the city centre of Puerto de la Cruz, the second-biggest town in the North of Tenerife. The 'barrio’ of Punta Brava is a Spanish quarter at the outskirts of Puerto with a nice little plaza, small restaurants and pubs, shops and more. Looking out from the sun roof of Casa Rosamar you have on one side the Teide, the holy mountain of the Guanchos, the original inhabitants of the Canaries (with 3711 metres Spain’s highest mountain), and on the other side the sea and the skyline of Puerto de la Cruz. The Sea is actually just 30 metres away, the beach to be reached in 2 to 3 minutes by foot. A 20 minutes walk along Playa Jardin beach takes you to the city centre of Puerto de la Cruz a buzzling town with pubs, discos, theatres, concerts and so on.
