Spain Sunset, Puerto de la Cruz

Puerto de la Cruz is a beautiful town on Tenerife’s north coast, known for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning views. The sunset here is truly magical, with the sun sinking into the Atlantic Ocean, painting the sky in shades of orange, pink, and purple. The coastline, with its black sand beaches and rugged cliffs, adds to the dramatic beauty of the scene. It’s a perfect place to unwind, enjoy the ocean breeze, and watch the sky change as the day ends.

Arrive 30-45 minutes before sunset for the golden hour light. Use a tripod to avoid shake, especially with slower shutter speeds. Focus on the sky and water, keeping the horizon low to emphasize the colors. Try a long exposure to smooth the water, using a tripod and ND filter. Include silhouettes for added drama. Adjust the white balance to “Cloudy” or “Shade” for warmer tones.
