Playa de las Americas is one of the largest and most exciting resorts on the Island of Tenerife, but for the holidaymaker looking for a quieter time apartments in Los Cristianos might be better. This is a super spot to holiday in and although not as lively as the larger resorts, there is still plenty to do.
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and Los Cristianos is situated on the south-west side of this island. Even though it is much quieter here than many of the other resorts on Tenerife, it is still a popular place for visitors. It is a modern day resort which grew from a sleepy fishing village, but fortunately still retains some of its former charm.
This resort is situated in a sheltered bay and still has a working harbor. The harbor is surrounded by shops, hotels and apartments and is fronted by a square. The promenade stretches all the way across and reaches as far as Playa de las Americas.
The old town makes up part of the harbor area and many locals still live here, it is a pedestrian only area. One of the best beaches on the entire island of Tenerife is the beach in Playa de las Americas, it is a man made beach constructed with sand from the Sahara dessert. A visit to Playa de las Vistas makes for a fantastic day out and it is only a brief taxi ride from Los Cristianos.
One of the beauties of holidaying in Tenerife is the duty free shopping. Popular souvenirs are cultured pearls as well as handicrafts, but holiday makers also enjoy shopping for cameras, designer clothing, tobacco, perfume and electrical goods.
British brand goods are in plentiful supply and you will find these in most of the shops at the San Eugene center. The Sunday street market is great fun and holiday-makers enjoy haggling with local vendors for cheaper prices.
There is a large variety of restaurants where holiday makers are able to enjoy meals of all different types, from the well known English breakfast to Chinese and even Mexican foods. There are also some discos, nightclubs and fun pubs but nothing as exciting as those found in nearby Playa de las Americas.
