If you are looking for a lovely spot to holiday in with lots of things to do, you will find beaches, bars restaurants and apartments Los cristianos to be fantastic. They even have Old English tearooms just down the road in Cristian Suir.
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.
The focal point of the resort is the working harbor, and despite the fact that there are modern shopping centers, hotels and apartments, the harbor has remained as it once was. It is now surrounded by restaurants and a square and the promenade is the backdrop for the beaches. The promenade stretches all the way to 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.
Duty free (or low duty) shopping is one of the many pleasures of visiting Tenerife. Souvenir hunters enjoy taking cultured pearls back home from the island as well as hand crafted goods. There are also a large variety of shops where cameras, tobacco, electrical goods, designer clothes and perfume can be found at cheaper prices.
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.
Restaurants are many and varied, are all of a very high standard where you will find every conceivable kind of cuisine. If you fancy Indian or Mexican food, or just plain bacon and eggs, you will find it. There are also a few night clubs, discos and lively pubs, but most people venture to Playa de las Americas for their night life thrills.
