Las Caletillas Tenerife Review
Las Caletillas is a Spanish town through and through. It is an authentic Spanish town with only a couple of hotels for tourists. This means you are truly away from the masses of some of the other resorts, so if you are looking for something with genuine Spanish feel this could be the place for you.
Las Caletillas Nightlife
As the town is a real Spanish one there is no entertainment as such outside of what the hotels may offer. The main street runs parallel to the beach promenade a bit up the hill. Here you will find more Spanish bars and restaurants and some lovely shops and supermarkets. You will also find some trendy bars around the town.
There are plenty of excellent restaurants along the seafront promenade, offering authentic Spanish food as well as Italian and pizza restaurants. There are no ‘International restaurants’, British bars, karaoke or restaurant chains you would find in the major resorts. Bring your Spanish phrasebook as little English is spoken. The restaurants will offer you a genuine Spanish experience with fantastic food. All will be very welcoming and helpful, being genuinely proud of the food they offer.
Las Caletillas Beaches
The small beaches are well cared for and are made up of black volcanic sand and large pebbles. There are also raised manmade beach areas with soft volcanic shingle and wooden decking sunbathing areas surrounded by palm trees. There are also small manmade coves where you can swim in the sea.

El Médano Tenerife Holidays Review
El Médano is a small resort on the southeast coast of Tenerife situated very close to the south airport. El Médano is a very laid back and casual resort popular with Spanish tourists, mature holidaymakers, families and windsurfers. The town is clean and well-kept and is very typically Spanish in its look and feel. It is really a town on the seafront that has turned its self into a resort.
Eating Out In El Medano
Locally caught fresh fish, seafood, tapas and Spanish food is served in the seafront restaurants on the promenade and around the main square, Plaza de Principe de Asturía. More restaurants, crepe and ice-cream parlours are located in the cobblestoned back streets, some on the seafront where you can enjoy lunch, dinner or tapas with a nice glass of wine.
Will I Like El Medano?
El Médano will suit mature holidays makers, couples and families looking for a quiet holiday away from the hustle and bustle of some of the larger resorts on the south of the island. Mainly due to the windsurfers and hippie beach dudes, it has a bohemian feel. It can also be windy at times here, hence its popularity with windsurfers and kite surfers. The World Professional Windsurfing Championships have been held here at the Playa del Cabezo.
Most of the holiday accommodation in El Medano is villa and apartment rentals with only a few hotels. There are no luxury 5-star hotels in El Médano.

El Médano Nightlife
The resort nightlife is relaxed and casual but can be very busy and vibrant, especially at the weekends.

There are no karaoke bars, discos, themed pubs, Irish pubs, sports bars, tribute acts or any other bars of that sort. However, if you are looking for a relatively peaceful resort with a café culture, this may suit you.
An evening out in El Médano consists mainly of eating and drinking outside in one of the many available restaurants. The restaurants will be bustling in the evenings, and the promenade is full of strollers milling around.
Street trader’s setup stools selling their bits and bobs, and musicians sit and play their instruments sitting on the wall by the hotel El Médano.
