PUERTO DE LA CRUZ 40s and 60s

Some old pics from Puerto de la Cruz. First the view of the fishers beach in front of "El Charco" Square... (late 50s). The boats are on-land after coming back full of fresh fish.


And older one with some temporary wooden huts installed by the sea-shore in Martianez beach in the 40s. At the back we can see the Tahoro Hill with the First Hotel. Nowadays the space between both locations is full of hotels, apartments and blocks of flats...the huts no longer exist, the Mercedes Ponton maybe..who knows!


The old bus stop at El Charco Square in the early 60s. Those buses had a wooden body and its original colours were olive green down and white for the roof.

LAST STOP: THE BEACH!


A few pictures can express better our feelings towards a vehicle that has become part of our lives. If I were a surfer, and my bus were impossible to restore, I would rather prefer her to be by the sea for the rest of her time than lying on a junkyard....
Rest in peace nice friend!

OLD SANTA CRUZ: PLAZA DE ESPAÑA

At least one T1 kombi bus and a beetle parked in Plaza de España. The tram railways are also seen and the traffic is wonderful: only a couple of cars moving around the square. Nice old times!
