Los Gigantes and Puerto Santiago are host to many excellent restaurants and cafes, and a large range of shops. In July there is an annual week-long fiesta with open air mass, fun fair, live salsa and mambo bands and a spectacular firework display. There is a wide variety of bars to choose from and many have night-time entertainment suitable for all the family including singers, comedians and flamenco dancers – all within a short walking distance. And recently opened is a first class spa and health centre at the Hotel Barcelo just a few minutes walk away.

The Blue Flag beach of Playa de la Arena is a 10 minute walk or there is a small beach and fishing port just 5 minutes walk. Opposite the complex is a coastal walkway into the beautiful harbour town of Los Gigantes (10 minutes), which also boasts many restaurants, bars and designer shops. This walkway also takes you past Crab Island where you will find a natural swimming pool which is free for public use.

Mounte Teide is just 40 minutes away, and you will find many organised excursions to choose from, which will also include trips to the ancient village of Masca (great for walkers!) diving and boat trips including whale and dolphin spotting excursions. Many local markets are within easy reach as are other local fiestas. Abama golf course is 15 minutes drive.

Peurto Santiago is just 40 minutes from Tenerife South airport. Taxis from the airport are readily available or there are a variety of companies offering car hire or airport transfers at very reasonable prices.
