Puerto
Calero
Puerto Calero is a
purpose built, classy, upmarket marina village. Some of the boats in the
marina will be eye-popingly expensive! There are some nice café/restaurant/bars
alongside the waterside.
A water taxi will
take you at modest cost to the harbour at Puerto del Carmen, from where you
can walk back as part of my Playa
Quemada to Puerto del Carmen walk..
A tourist
curiosity here is the Yellow Submarine, exactly what it says on the tin. I
have been on this and whilst I expected some sort of submarine look alike
with a glass bottom (a glass bottomed boat if you like), in fact it is the
real deal and does seal the hatches and submerge. It is all well controlled
with a safety boat above. Nevertheless, it is a strange feeling when they
shut the hatch and dive. My hat is off to genuine sub-mariners.
To be honest, the
submerged sights were a bit underwhelming. A few non-descript fish and a
sunken (probably on purpose) “wreck”. Still, it was worth it for the
experience. Yellow Submarine ‘T’ shirts and your photo available.
