Puerto de la Cruz in December
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 21.5 °C. Warm enough to swim. As busy as the peak.
December in Puerto de la Cruz is 18.5 °C by day and 21.5 °C in the sea. This is the year's peak load: 5 out of 5.
December on Tenerife is inverted against the mainland: while Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava runs 2 out of 5 and Marbella on the Costa del Sol 2, here it is 5. This town differs from the southern resorts in one important way: its winter score is 5 out of 5. It is an old town with a market and ordinary life all year, not a resort strip. Visitors add to the residents rather than replace them.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 55 rainy days a year, 72% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
