White nights fun Noche en Blanco Puerto de la Cruz and Tenerife
White nights or Noche en Blanco, as the Spanish say, are here to stay. That was its motto but, not any more for Puerto de la Cruz.
There,
it has been replaced by Ando por el Puerto which translates into 'I
walk through El Puerto'. Reason being is that all its streets are a
suited environment for an Open Commercial Zone. After all, the idea is
to help business in general. Also, the celebration takes place all day and not at night only.
Now, Noches en Blanco White nights are celebrated in La Laguna several times a year with Saturday, November 23, 2024 the next scheduled event. Stay informed by its Facebook Page LaLagunaLNB
The Full Moon festival Plenilunio is another name for it that is as popular in the Tenerife capital and happened last in October of 2024. The next Noche Magica of Los Realejos will be most likely by the end of November/beginning of December 2024.
Some historical White Nights aka Noches Blanca celebrations of Tenerife
Noche en Blanco 2017 Puerto de la Cruz seventh festival of business, sports and culture in five zones and more than 12 streets and town squares.
Events that played a role in Noche Blanca Puerto Cruz?
Entertainment was meant to be bigger and better. This included the new Puerto de la Cruz fashion event that was very similar to the superb Tenerife Moda cat walks at La Longuera Los Realejos by 16 firms and/or designers. El Puerto's took place in the newly revamped Calle Quintana, while no classic car show was scheduled at the time.
In the past, Puerto de la Cruz was going to host his Noches en Blanco on all first Saturdays of the month. However, that never materialized. Now, it celebrates one festival, later in the year.

History of nights in white which includes Tenerife
The festivals of white nights happen in other Tenerife towns, too. Originally, they were introduced for promoting more arts and culture, such as museums and art exhibitions. Their theme comes from the city Nancy from France to also help business by having shops open after dark. Even Moscow in Russia copied the idea.
La Laguna the university town was the first to follow suite in Tenerife by using a Spanish translation that is Noche en blanco celebrating it several times a year.
Güimar on the Southeast Coast had its own Noche Blanca night in 2023.
Los Cristianos celebrated it in 2024 on Plaza de la Pescadora. I shall keep you posted with more information for you.
Full moon nights Plenilunio in white at the Tenerife's capital
The planned white twelve open shop nights with music and sports at full moon once a month in the Tenerife capital Santa Cruz never happened. However, there were one event in 2013, two in 2016 on the 23rd of April and the other on September 12. Then there was another that became a smashing success in October 2024.
Plenilunio in Santa Cruz of September 21, 2013 was scheduled to be a special night.
In fact, the capital was literally going the extra mile with guides that carried lanterns.
Imagine to see the Guanche mummies at their Museum of Man and Nature under such spooky conditions... Also, it offered cheap drinks and Tapas which were prepared by its renown chef Armando Saldaña. The 5,2 km full moon City Marathon accepted all age groups. €6.bought admission. 902 364 603 could be called for ticket sales of €3 for guided tours at Teatro Güimerá.

What's got Puerto Cruz to do with the above?
Indeed, Puerto de la Cruz followed in the foot steps of the
innovative night activities of the capital and La Laguna to attract even
more people to come to celebrate the naturally lit night skies. Other
Tenerife towns were welcome to add their own ideas.
However, the oldest Tenerife resort invented itself again on November 23, 2019 and started 'Ando por el Puerto' town walks for tourists during an entire day.
