Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. It is the original tourist and expat destination on the island, predating the south coast resorts by decades. The British community here is one of the oldest in Spain. Like all Tenerife addresses, goods travel by sea from a UK or mainland Spanish port, clear through the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and then travel by road to Puerto de la Cruz on the north side of the island. IGIC applies instead of mainland Spain IVA.
International Removals Companies is a route matching platform operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD. It is not a physical removal company. You send the move details once. A suitable vetted partner mover checks the UK collection address, Puerto de la Cruz delivery point, sailing schedule, Canary Islands clearance, inventory and border paperwork before confirming what they can offer.
This page covers removals to Puerto de la Cruz from the UK, removals in Puerto de la Cruz and removals from Puerto de la Cruz to the UK. For moves to other parts of Tenerife, use the Tenerife page.
Some Spain removals quotes may involve pounds and euros. If foreign exchange help matters, mention it on the quote form so the matched partner can discuss available support. Confirm payment currency and terms before booking.
Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of Tenerife, roughly 35 kilometres by road from the Port of Santa Cruz where goods arrive. The TF-5 motorway connects the port to Puerto de la Cruz directly. The town has older apartment buildings near the seafront and in the town centre, some with smaller lifts than modern buildings. Always confirm floor number and lift dimensions for apartments in the older parts of town.
The hillside areas above Puerto de la Cruz, including La Orotava valley and the mountain towns toward Teide national park, have different access profiles. La Orotava old town has colonial streets that restrict vehicles in the historic core. For addresses in these areas, specify the exact location and confirm access with the mover. The Loro Parque and Playa Jardin resort areas have modern infrastructure and better loading access.
