Los Cristianos Holidays

Los Cristianos is a resort located on the southern side of Tenerife. It lies in a large bay, with mountains in the back. This is one of the most attractive and popular resorts for spending a holiday on the Canary Islands. The weather is almost always sunny, regardless of the time of the year. Winter temperatures in Los Cristianos do not drop below 15 C, and in summer they go up to around 30 C. Summers are dry and hot, and that is largely influenced by the nearby coast of Western Sahara.

Los Cristianos attracts more delicate visitors than the nearby noisy place of Playa de las Americas. Like most of the towns on Tenerife, Los Cristianos has developed from a tiny village to a very nice holiday town. However, it has still kept its old charm. The main place is the harbor, where there is a wide square with a nice white church. This is the main place for the summer fiestas. Los Cristianos` promenade is stretching all the way to the close resort of Playa de las Americas. You can find a large selection of pubs, cafés, bars, ice cream parlors and shopping stores in the town. There are a few discos and nightclubs, but the nightlife is a bit quieter than the neighboring resorts. San Telmo is the central area that offers good nightlife for people that enjoy clubbing. That is one lively and long strip of nightclubs and bars.

Los Cristianos Three Beaches

Los Cristianos has three beaches, offering something for everybody. Playa de Las Vistas is the largest beach that has a beautiful golden sand. The sand is brought from Sahara and is very soft. Here you can find rows of people laying on sunbeds under umbrellas, and the beach is so wide that you do not have to worry about finding space for sunbathing. There are numerous toilets and showers on this beach, and there are several lifeguards as well. Next beach is Playa de Los Cristianos, located right in the town`s center beside the port. It also has a nice, golden sand, but it is smaller than Playa de Las Vistas. Here you can enjoy many activities like beach volleyball, or enjoy water sports such as jet-skiing or windsurfing. Playa Callao is the smallest beach and it attracts those who like natural beaches with a bit more rockier coast.
