Los Cristianos is located on the southern Tenerife coast, Canary Islands, Spain. The south of the island of Tenerife is both warmer and dryer than the North.
Los Cristianos is a quieter and more relaxed resort than certain areas in Playa de las Americas it's next door neighbour, but you will still find plenty of entertainment in its many bars, pubs and restaurants. Although popular with all age groups older couples and groups and people with younger families will find Los Cristianos appealing.

Los Cristianos is one of the most popular resorts on the Island. Originally a small fishing village in the south west corner of Tenerife. It is only 10 miles from the main Airport of the South Reina Sofia.

Well served by the main motorway and local roads it is ideally situated for access to all of the Island.

Even with all its added tourist attractions Los Cristianos still manages to retain some of the old world charm, with the church square and terraced shopping streets.

The harbour at Los Cristianos is used by the ferry company Fred Olsen for the short hop to La Gomera.

The harbour is not only a ferry terminal it also acts as departure point for local cruises (dolphin and whales) and the infamous booze cruise. Locally there are several scuba diving departure points. There are still a few fishing boats both commercial and day trips.

The harbour is now also a marina with quite an array of impressive boats and yachts.

The beaches of Los Cristianos are manmade with imported sand, though world renown as a place to immerse yourself and help to relieve muscular and joint illness there is a clinic locally dedicated to this therapy.

The town caters for all taste and people though it has to be said you are more likely to find a more mature family orientated tourist
Situated close to such wonderful beaches, golf courses,The Aqua Park and Tenerife Zoo and with easy access to the whole Island of Tenerife and beyond this is an ideal family venue
