About Periplo Festival
A delight for the imagination and an excellent way to enrich literature and culture in an unbeatable environment such as Puerto de la Cruz. Born in the emblematic fishing neighborhood of La Ranilla, it was the usual place of lodging for the first travelers who arrived on the island.
Puerto Street Art
With each new edition of Periplo, the open-air museum on the streets of Puerto de la Cruz becomes larger.
With the ideology that a museum does not have to be a closed space, the walls of the city, especially in the neighborhood of La Ranilla, are decorated with the best urban art of numerous artists, both local and international, providing the streets of Puerto de la Cruz with a modern and cosmopolitan air, where culture, art and leisure are merged.
