Los Cristianos

Without doubt one of the most popular resorts in the Canary Islands, Los Cristianos is situated just 15 km's west of the southern airport Reina Sofia. With the wonderful harbour as its focal point, the town has managed to retain some of the architecture and character of its original incarnation as a sleepy fishing village. The artificial beaches are gorgeous and there are plenty of excursions running from the harbour area, such as fishing trips, pleasure cruises, glass bottomed boats, diving excursions and ferries to La Gomera. For those of you seeking entertainment after a sun soaked day on the beach or round the pool then Los Cristianos should certainly have something to your liking. With a vast array of pubs, clubs, restaurants and bars the town's boisterous nightlife caters for a mature, family clientele. Los Cristianos is also ideally situated for exploring the island with its close proximity to the motorway. Also the Aqua Park and Tenerife Zoo are both in very easy reach of the town and are wonderful days out for the whole family. Los Cristianos is a town you will never want to leave.

Costa Adeje is considered to be something of an upmarket resort with its range of good restaurants and bars and is host to some of the most sophisticated hotels and apartment complexes on the island

Puerto Del la Cruz

The longest established and most complete resort in the Canary Islands has to be Puerto de la Cruz. Located on Tenerife's north coast this historical town was the birthplace of tourism in the Canaries and still offers some of the best visitor attractions on the island. The Old Town itself still retains the cobbled streets and colonial architecture of an age gone by where the local people still go about their daily lives, working, eating and drinking in much the same way as they have for centuries. Its old world charm lives side by side with a wide range of quality hotels and apartment complexes that ensure a perfect place to stay for all tastes and budgets. For those of you with adventure in mind Puerto de la Cruz is ideally situated for excursions into the Teide National Park and the surrounding areas of La Ortatava and La Laguna.

Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is situated in a stunning location on the southwest of the island. The little beach of black volcanic sand is cosseted by cliffs and the clear waters are excellent for snorkelling. The marina is lined with bars and restaurants and the nightlife here is low-key ideal for those seeking a more relaxing holiday. This is a good base for exploring more of Tenerife and a trek through the incredible scenery of tLhe Masca Valley is a must. Some parts of the resort are hilly in nature and may be unsuitable for those who are less mobile. The excellent local restaurants specialise in sea food with fresh fish always on the menu. Why not experience some of the superb local seafood, barbecued, and served with 'papas arrugadas' - wrinkled potatoes. There is a small beach of black volcanic sand immediately below the cliffs of Los Gigantes, and another at neighbouring Puerto de Santiago.

Puerto Santiago

Puerto Santiago is next door to Los Gigantes, just a five minute stroll away, but enjoys much more of a Canarian character than its cosmopolitan neighbour. It over looks the fascinating old fishing harbour and small sandy beach. Every July, at the harbour mouth, Puerto Santiago plays host to one of the island's most spectacular fireworks displays as part of the area's main fiesta week. The Canarians love their fiestas and they will use any excuse to stop work for a day or two and go out and enjoy themselves. You may be lucky enough to catch one of these fiestas taking place in the newly built plaza. Puerto Santiago is also full of a wealth of little bars and eating establishments and it's worth nipping along some of the side streets just to find somewhere a little different.
