Beaches, Bars, Restaurants And Apartments Los Cristianos

The Island of Tenerife is the largest in the Canary Island Chain, as such it is a popular holiday spot and apartments in Los Cristianos offer the visitor a more laid-back holiday. It is situated close to Playa de las Americas, a vibrant, lively, large resort, but far enough away to offer the vacationer a more peaceful experience.

This is a popular holiday resort situated in a sheltered cove on the south-west of the island of Tenerife, close to the glitzy playground of Playa de las Americas. Los cristianos was once a sleepy fishing village, and although it has been transformed into a modern-day resort, still maintains some of its traditional charms.

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 main thoroughfare is a pedestrian only street and is part of the old town. Local people still live in this part of town! The best beaches on the island are man-made with dessert sand imported from the Sahara, and the best beach is Playa de las Vistas in Playa de las Americas. It is only a short taxi drive from Los Cristianos, and makes for a great day out.

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.

The San Eugene center is a shoppers paradise and you will find plenty of British brand names here. There is also a street market held in Los Cristianos on a Sunday and this is popular with shoppers who enjoy a good haggle to get a bargain.

Virtually every taste in cuisine is catered for at the many restaurants, pubs, and bistros in Los Cristianos. They also offer some entertainment of an evening, but for the more exciting night life, a visit to Playa de las Americas, or the Capital, Palma is required.
