Los Cristianos is situated 15 km's west of the southern airport (Reina Sofía).This is without a doubt one of the most popular resorts on the Canary Islands. The artificial beaches are very nice and it has a wonderful harbour that offers fishing trips, pleasure cruises, glass bottom boats, diving excursions and ferries to La Gomera.
Los Cristianos tends to attract a slightly older holidaymaker in comparison to Playa de las Americas and has managed to keep a little of its original architecture and atmosphere as a quaint fishing village. But you will need to look hard!What you will easily find is year round sunshine and a vast array of Pubs, clubs, shops, restaurants (English and German too) and boisterous nightlife.
The nearby AquaPark Octopus is a must for any family. Believe us, your kids could spend their whole holiday there.
Tenerife Zoo and the Eagles Park are also within easy reach of Los Cristianos.
