offer a wide variety of quality cuisine at prices that won't burn a hole in your pocket. A number of fun pubs and karaoke bars provide welcoming evening entertainment seven nights a week.
Ferries to the adjacent island of La Gomera leave regularly from Los Cristianos harbour throughout the day and boat trips to see the whales and dolphins are available on the quayside along with freshly caught fish and seafood.
Restaurants: Los Cristianos cannot be beaten for the quality and variety of eating establishments available throughout the day and night, from the ubiquitous English breakfast, fast-food snacks, to dinner from China, India, Mexico or anywhere else one cares to mention.
Nightlife: Los Cristianos is very well supplied with fun pubs, some discos and a few nightclubs, but the nightlife here is nowhere near as wild and exciting as it is next door in Playa de las Americas. Taxis are plentiful and available round the clock, however, so there is no problem popping off to join in the unadulterated partying in nearby lively spots like Veronicas and The Patch, which are usually jumping and pumping until 6am or so. Those who prefer a more sedate evening will be happy to sit back and unwind at a waterfront bar in
Los Cristianos, watching the world go by and perhaps enjoying some restrained live music.

Los Cristianos is a pretty resort situated in the sunny south of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands and only 15 minutes from Tenerife's International Reina Sofia Airport.

Los Cristianos was originally an old fishing village, colourful local boats and sea going yachts still remain but over the last 20 years Los Cristianos has been transformed into one of the most popular resorts in the Canary Islands. Attracting thousands of visitors every year the town has numerous hotels and holiday apartments which welcome hundreds of guests every year.

The busy town centre is closed to traffic and pedestrian walkways are bright with dozens of open air restaurants, cafes and bars. Los Cristianos is the prime shopping centre for the south of Tenerife with a large selection of shops which cater for everyone on this duty free island. It's also worth noting that every Sunday there is a large open air market offering everything from watches and jewellery to clothing and music Los Cristianos has no shortage of places to eat and drink, bars and restaurants line the promenade and the town centre

Activities: 'Never a dull moment' could be a phrase coined to suit the southern resort area of Tenerife island, where entertaining attractions and activities abound. The beaches of Los Cristianos are bristling with watersports opportunities, from jet skiing and windsurfing to scuba diving and banana boat rides. The busy little port is the embarkation point for ferry and hydrofoil trips to the nearby islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, as well as boat trips for dolphin and whale viewing. In the immediate vicinity of the resort there are waterparks, an 18-hole golf course and facilities for go-karting, bowling, bungee-jumping, horse and camel riding. Several excursions are on offer, like trips to the capital, Santa Cruz, the Mount Teide National Park or the Tenerife zoo.

Boat Trips from Tenerife : There are a huge number of companies offering boat trips to tourists and these vary from a 'booze cruise' on a cruiser offering lunch, drinks and watersports to a trip around the island on a sailing boat or catamaran. One of the main attractions is the chance to see whales and dolphins in the wild. Visitors on most trips spot whales; dolphins are not so much of a certainty but are generally seen - often very close to the boat. Trips go from either Puerto Colon in Playa de las Americas, or from the port at Los Cristianos and most operators offer a free bus service from the larger hotels in the main resorts.
Big Game Fishing around Tenerife : The Canary Islands are one of the best spots in the world for big game fishing and there are a number of companies who offer fishing trips in Tenerife. While blue marlin are the most highly prized trophy fish there are plenty of other species including white marlin, wahoo, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and mako and hammerhead sharks. Regular catches of blue marlin range from 331 to 496 pounds (150 to 225kg) with last year's record standing at 794 pounds (360kg).

Trips cost around €50 including all equipment, but excluding lunch.
