Los
Cristianos is a town in Spain with population
approximately 11,500 (1991), situated on the south
coast of the Canary Island of Tenerife. Located in
the municipality of Arona between the cone of
Montaña Chayofita and the imposing Montaña Guaza,
the town centre is around the bay of Los
Cristianos, but is rapidly expanding inland with
modern development. The town is a popular tourist
resort and an important ferry port.
Unlike its bustling neighbour, Playa de las Américas,
this pretty town has a history that predates the
tourist boom of the 1970s and '80s. For many years
this holiday hub was a quiet fishing village and
if you look hard you can still see evidence of its
humble origins in the typical Canarian
architecture of the older buildings.
Nowadays however, the town offers a vibrant
holiday experience with its two golden sand
beaches, multitude of bars and restaurants and its
year round sunny climate. There is a wealth of
accommodation to suit all budgets including
hotels, self catering apartments and timeshare
resorts. There are also a wealth of excursions
focused around the town's busy port including
dolphin and whale watching as well as game fishing
trips and party cruises.
