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.

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.

You will find Los Cristianos in a sheltered cove and part of the charm is the working harbor. The harbor is not one of the focal points of the town and where much of the shopping and restaurants are found. This is where the promenade and the square features and, and the promenade stretches 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.

One of the beauties of holidaying in Tenerife is the duty free shopping. Popular souvenirs are cultured pearls as well as handicrafts, but holiday makers also enjoy shopping for cameras, designer clothing, tobacco, perfume and electrical goods.

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.

Virtually every taste in cuisine is catered for at the many restaurants, pubs, and bistros in Los Cristianos. They also offer some entertainment of an evening, but for the more exciting night life, a visit to Playa de las Americas, or the Capital, Palma is required.
