Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje

The Playa de Las Américas is a purpose-built holiday resort in the northern part of the Municipality of Arona, close to the adjoining town of Adeje.. It was built in the 1960s beside the town of Los Cristianos and stretching northward to the Costa Adeje. The resort area features bars, night-clubs, restaurants, attractions, and beaches, most of which are man-made from imported sand from Africa due to the darkness of the native volcanic sand. Playa de Las Americas is a centre of nightlife in Tenerife. Its main road is Las Americas Avenue, full of shops to suit all price ranges. It is sunny all year through. The town's Veronicas Strip includes bars and clubs over three floors in five buildings, though many other bars and clubs can be found in this area. It has a reputation of being very boisterous, particularly during early morning hours with over-expressive partygoers!.

Los Cristianos

Los Cristianos is on the south coast of the island around Los Cristianos Bay It is rapidly expanding inland with modern development due to its popularity as a tourist resort and ferry port. Formerly a quiet fishing village the town nowadays is a major holiday destination, with two golden sand beaches, a 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 excursions from the port including dolphin and whale watching, fishing trips and party cruises. A number of large hotels and apartment blocks were built during the 1970s to accommodate the growing number of tourists and in the 1980s the town began a massive expansion when Los Cristianos began to attract a number of British expatriates who emigrated either permanently or semi-permanently to escape the cold British winters. As English is as widely spoken as Spanish, there are also a number of British owned bars, restaurants, shops and services aimed predominantly at the tourist sector. Los Cristianos is home to two world-class beaches: The main beach (Playa de Los Cristianos) is a sandy beach sheltered by the Harbour and boasts a number of facilities including watersports, beach volley ball, showers and a children's play area. Las Vistas Beach is located in the next bay beyond the harbour and is man-made, protected by breakwaters, it also boasts a number of facilities including watersports, showers and a tourist information site.

Puerto de la Cruz

Puerto de la Cruz, (or simply 'Puerto') is located on the north coast of Tenerife in the Orotava Valley about 16 miles from Tenerife North Airport. Prior to the development of hotels and holiday accommodation, much of the area consisted of agricultural land, but of late this has shifted from rural to urban and tourism. Tourism is an important industry in Puerto de la Cruz, as evidenced by the number of large hotels on the skyline. The resort is frequented predominantly by the British and northern Europeans during the winter months due to its mild climate, and is particularly popular over Christmas and the New Year periods, appealing particularly to more mature couples, in comparison to resorts such as Playa de Las Americas. Puerto also has a modest gay scene centred around Generalisimo Avenue. The summer months sees more Spanish tourists, escaping the very hot month of August on the Spanish mainland.
