Beaches, Bars, Restaurants And Apartments Los Cristianos

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.
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.
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 forms part of the harbor and the main street is for pedestrians only, many local people still live here. The best beach is close by and Playa de las Vistas is a man-made beach which has been constructed with sand from the Sahara dessert. Los cristianos is far more sedate than the boisterous las Americas, but access to this resort is just a short taxi drive away if you want to spice up your night life.

Tenerife offers the joys of low duty and duty free shopping where visitors are able to quite literally shop till they drop in the many stores. Cultured pearls and handicrafts are a favorite for souvenir hunters, but liberal spending on tobacco, perfumes, cameras, designer clothing and electrical goods goes on too.

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.

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.
