Los
Cristianos Tenerife
Travel
15km's west from Reina Sofia the islands southern airport and you will
find the resort of Los Cristianos, which is one of the most popular
destinations for holidays in Tenerife, and infact one of the most popular
holiday resorts in the Canary Islands.
Originally
one of Tenerife's busy fishing ports, some of it's original buildings
still survive, but are almost lost among the new developments. Los Cristianos
is a lively resort with good beaches (for which sand was shipped in),
a lovely Harbour area where you can sit have a relaxing drink in one
of the many bars and watch the world go by. Or maybe hire a boat, go
one of the many excursions such as the coastal cruises or book a diving
lesson. A ferry also operates from the harbour to the nearby island
of La Gomera.
Nightlife
here is fairly high paced, there is a huge number of pubs, bars, restaurants
and night clubs to choose from. Eating out is good value and many of
the restaurants that line the promenade serve locally caught sea food.
For
family's there is the nearby Aqua Park and a short trip will take you
to Tenerife Zoo, so there's plenty to keep the whole family occupied.
The beach
in Los Cristianos is located near the Harbour, it is sheltered and the
water is calm which is great for swimming. Another popular beach can
be found just a few minutes walk from Los Cristianos town centre, this
is Las Vistas beach, again it is sandy and sheltered, offers a good
range of facilities and is considered by many as one of the best that
Tenerife has to offer.
When you've
had enough of soaking up the sun head for the town center, which is
the best for shopping in the south of Tenerife, as well as the vast
array of duty free shops there is also a regular Sunday market.
