Guide to Los Cristianos

'Live life in the slow lane in laid-back Los Cristianos.'

Pretty as a picture, the sprawling resort of Los Cristianos is one of the island's most popular places. Tucked away on the south coast, it's the perfect spot if you like a bit of sophistication from your holiday. More low-key than its playful neighbour Playa De Las Americas, you can take things easy here. So step into a more sedate pace of life. While away your afternoon people-watching from one of the many pavement cafes. Stroll around the old town where you can browse the upbeat bazaars. Or get busy in the bustling town centre - where sleek shopping malls, al fresco restaurants and bright bars greet you. If you like a bit of banter with the locals, head to the animated Sunday market. Barter for everything from watches and jewellery to clothes and music, and set the world to rights while you're at it. But if your idea of holiday heaven is big on the beachlife, spend your time sinking into the soft golden sands of the main beach. Float out from the shores on a pedalo and dip in and out of the warm, inviting waters. Or snake your way around the bay and you'll arrive at one of Tenerife's top beaches, Las Vistas Beach. As far as food is concerned, you'll be spoilt for choice for places to eat. Restaurants line the promenade and town centre, and the place is peppered with friendly bars offering a laid-back nightlife.
