Las Galletas Nightlife
In the evenings the town comes to life when locals come out in the warm evenings for a walk along the promenade, or for a drink or dinner in one of the many excellent restaurants Las Galletas has to offer. There are plenty of speciality restaurants offering fresh fish caught by the local fishermen as well as other Canarian dishes.
The nightlife in Las Galletas would be considered low key and Spanish in style. It is a small village, so there are no wild nights to be had here, and no theme bars or night clubs etc. It is much quieter than the large resorts around Las Americas. So if you are after all-night partying this is not the place for you.
Las Galletas Beaches
Las Galletas has a small beach of black volcanic sand and rocks, where you can hire umbrellas for shade, and is popular with sunbathers during the day. The ocean water is crystal clear and is suitable for bathing. The beach facilities include showers to wash off the sand.
The beach attracts local surfer and bodyboarders during the evenings, and the waters clarity makes for excellent diving.
