Swimming pools
Lago Martianez is a leisure complex, situated in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
It’s a complex that expands over 100 000 m2 , consisting of an artificial lake with six pools surrounding it. The pools are surrounded by gardens, restaurants, bars and many other fascilities. By its unique design the complex offers a view of local features such as various booths, palisades and views of the sea. Apart from the architectural work, the complex hosts a series of sculptures created by César Manrique.
There are three pools that make the Los Alisios, one of which is the deepest in the complex with a dept of around 2 meters. All of the other pools have a depth anywhere from 1.20m to 1.90m, patrolling the pool sides are 3 to 5 lifeguards (depending on the season). The average temperature of the water in the pools is 20-24 degrees.
The Lake, as it’s known by the local people, was built on an area of natural pools, which were called The Colonel and The Saga and they have been around since before The Lago was built. Now it’s called Llanos de Martianez and it has been used for a bathing place of the first tourists in the late 19th and early 20th century.
El Lago is an artificial lake, it covers an area of 33 000 m² (fully reclaimed from the ocean), 15 000 m² of which are made up of water. From 2004 to 2006 the complex underwent some major reforms and improvements like the changing of the lights in the pools and around the walkways.
