After leaving Angie & Ian’s timeshare apartment in Los Cristiano’s, we booked into Hostel Carel in El Médano. Although this is the cheaper option in town ,it was all we wanted. We had a large room with fridge, small balcony, fresh towels & bathroom toiletries daily. Just one word of warning, hostels can be a bit noisy at the weekends. Today we arrived in Las Caletillas.
