Los Cristianos Tenerife Review
Los Cristianos was once just a poor fishing hamlet set in the barren desert-like terrain of South Tenerife. Now transformed into a popular tourist destination centred on the harbour and its beaches, while still retaining some of its Tenerife character, unlike its purpose-built neighbours.
Los Cristianos keeps thousands of holidaymakers amused, with plenty to keep the sun seeker very happy, and is all devoted to having fun. Los Cristianos an excellent beach holiday resort with all the attractions you would expect.
In the town behind the beachfront are shops selling duty-free goods and traditional craft items. There are many traffic-free alleys with souvenir shops, ice cream parlours, bars and restaurants. The suburbs around Los Cristianos are full of residential and holiday apartments and hotels.
There are hoards of restaurants offering all types of food from Italian to Chinese, Indian, International, bars offering all-day English breakfast, and also some excellent fish and seafood restaurants.
The San Telmo Center, along Las Vistas beach, has some fine eateries serving meals and tapas all day. Here you can eat and drink on terraces overlooking the beach.
It is from Los Cristianos harbour that you can take a ferry ride to the island of La Gomera, which lies 28km off the west coast of Tenerife. The trip takes about 40 minutes via the Fred Olsten high speed jetfoil, or about 1.5 hours on the ferry to the port of San Sebastian on La Gomera.
