Los Cristianos

With its two-mile beach, bustling harbour and picturesque old town, it's not hard to see why Los Cristianos is one of the most popular resorts in the Canary Islands. Holidays in Los Cristianos centre round the man-made beach, set against a backdrop of rugged countryside, which is perfect for sunbathers and swimmers alike. Packed with dark sand and dotted with sun beds and umbrellas, the beach is lapped by turquoise waters. The relaxed atmosphere of Los Cristianos is particularly popular with families and couples.

Bustling harbour
Visitors can stroll round the old town, browse the small shops, pick up a bargain at the bustling Sunday market, and while away the afternoon relaxing over a coffee at one of the many street cafes lining the harbour. The busy harbour offers a wealth of activities, including fishing trips, glass bottom boat excursions, scuba diving and ferries to the secluded island of La Gomera. Holidays in Los Cristianos offer fun families days out to AquaPark Octopus, Tenerife Zoo and the Eagles Park.

Relaxed evenings
Evenings in Los Cristianos are a relatively relaxed affair; tourists can unwind over drinks at the beachfront bars and dine out at a wide choice of restaurants serving traditional Spanish tapas, locally caught seafood, as well as international favourites. Holidays in Los Cristianos also offer more boisterous nights in the neighbouring Playa de la Americas, two miles, (three kilometres) along the coast, with its abundance of lively bars and pulsating nightclubs.
