Puerto Street Art, the project that hides the transformation into a museum in Puerto de la Cruz

Cross port, an outdoor canvas, where the identity of the urban creativity makes sense in facades, streets or municipal furniture itself. The cause of this metamorphosis is port street art, a project that has taken advantage of the charm of the different spaces, their history and that of those who live there to rewrite the cultural and innovative character Township.

Sprays and brushes that draw figurative and abstract shapes and colors with which different artists integrate their vindictive messages or artistic visions in the gray of the urban landscape. Behind each one of the works of art that are exhibited in the tourist city there are several stories, that of the artist, that of the citizens of the place that welcomes them and that of the relationship that is established between all of them.

Puerto street art

If you are one of the lucky ones who will enjoy on August 6, Phe Festival, the concert more cool of the summer, write down in your agenda a walk to discover the urban art of Puerto de la Cruz. Because taking selfies on the beach with Teide in the background is cool, but going through the city like a detective, in search of the best photo of graffiti, interventions or murals, is priceless. You won't find enough filters or apps for your images!

Exhibitions throughout the city

Ro.Ro_1It was a natural process. port street art started in Puerto de la Cruz as a pilot project with the aim of improving the appearance of some facades in the neighborhood of La Ranilla, and was promoted by the Urban Development Consortium for the Rehabilitation of Puerto de la Cruz, together with the Department of Culture and the Department of Urban Planning of the Puerto de la Cruz City Council.

But the transition from urban intervention to "multidisciplinary open-air museum" came from the hand of well-known cultural events organized by the City Council, such as the International Street Art Festival of Puerto de la Cruz, Mueca, and the festival International Travel and Adventure Literature of Puerto de la Cruz, journey, and what in its beginnings was an initiative to dissipate the gray and the abandonment of buildings and streets, today is a explosion of color that has filled the city with ephemeral art.

And the transformation continues. Just like when you visit the Reina Sofía Museum, the Tate Modern, the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the MoMA, in the open-air museum in Puerto de la Cruz you will find up to five rooms structured according to the different artistic disciplines that have become part of the collection of port street art: in Room 1 you will find road interventions; in Room 2, sculpture on facade; in Room 3, mural interventions; Room 4 is made up of sculpture; and finally the interventions in neighborhoods make up Room 5.

1. It is celebrated in Puerto de la Cuz

Ok, we'll throw the topic: any excuse is good to visit Cross port, one of the most charming destinations in Tenerife with a mild climate all year round, multicolored skies and an intense smell of the sea. And it is because its history is linked to the history of tourism and today it is evolving by leaps and bounds to become a benchmark for cultural tourism. It is true that Phe Festival It is not the only festival that is celebrated next to the beach, within the wide range of summer offers in our country. But it is the only one that takes place in a destination where you can take baths in the sun or in the water of the Atlantic in beautiful black sand beaches (Martiánez and Playa Jardín) with the masterful figure of the Mount Teide at the bottom. Without leaving the promenade you will find the pool complex Lago Martianez, a work of art designed by Cesar Manrique where you can refresh yourself with all the comforts. Because art and culture can be breathed in every corner, from the beauty of the mansions and buildings that are part of its historic complex, to the different cultural projects that support the Cultural Strategy of Puerto de la Cruz (ECPC2020), in which its greatest attraction stands out, a city focused on culture that transmits its enthusiasm to those who visit it. Go, an ideal vacation plan.
