On the southwest coast of Tenerife, lies one of the most popular resorts of the island: the port town of Los Cristianos. Combining a laid-back atmosphere with convenient ferry connections to other Canary Islands, Los Cristianos is a perfect launchpad for island-hopping ventures. Still, the town itself is worth exploring before or after your trips.

The beachfront promenade of Los Cristianos stretches for miles, lined with cafés, local shops, and restaurants serving Canarian specialties. The main beaches, Playa de Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Vistas, offer calm waters perfect for swimming and sunbathing. When night falls, the clubs, bars, and pubs in Los Cristianos attract many travelers who are after endless hours of fiesta or embark on one of the many party cruises that depart from its port.

Los Cristianos is also close to the bustling resort area of Costa Adeje, and just a short drive from Teide National Park, one of Spain’s most iconic natural landmarks, with breathtaking hiking trails that are in full bloom during April.

And, while Tenerife may be primarily considered a summer destination, the island’s mild climate guarantees that a winter family vacation in the Canary Islands will be simply unforgettable. Can you picture relaxing in natural saltwater pools or taking boat trips to spot dolphins and whales? Well, this is what January in Los Cristianos is like!
