Agatha Christie wrote "The Mystery of the Blue Train" and the short story "The Man from the Sea" while she was staying in

• Guía de Isora, Tenerife

• Santa Cruz de Tenerife

• Arico, Tenerife

• Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

Answer explanation

"The Man from the Sea", although it's not directly referenced in the book, is probably set in Puerto de la Cruz.

Later, she moved to Gran Canaria because there weren't suitable beaches for bathing in Puerto de la Cruz. She wrote "The Companion" there. This book is set in Gran Canaria.
