Tourist information about Los Cristianos in Spain. Travel to Los Cristianos and let Spain-Holiday.com guide and accommodate you |
Los Cristianos is situated 15 kms west of the southern airport (Reina Sofía).This is without a doubt one of the most popular resorts on the Canary Islands. The artificial beaches are very nice and it has a wonderful harbour that offers fishing trips, pleasure cruises, glass bottom boats, diving excursions and ferries to La Gomera.
Los Cristianos tends to attract a slightly older holidaymaker in comparison to Playa de las Américas and has managed to keep a little of its original architecture and atmosphere as a quaint fishing village. But you will need to look hard!
What you will easily find is year round sunshine and a vast array of Pubs, clubs, shops, restaurants (English and German too) and boisterous nightlife.
The nearby AquaPark Octopus is a must for any family. Believe us, your kids could spend their whole holiday there.
Tenerife Zoo and the Eagles Park are also within easy reach of Los Cristianos.
The Weather on Tenerife changes considerably depending on your location.
The warmest climate can be found on the south and west sides of the island. But, if you go near El Teide, cold winds and snow wouldnt be hard to find.
LOS CRISTIANOS ATTRACTIONS:
AquaPark Octopus - Take your family to the AquaPark Octopus to see the great Dolphin show which is always a thrill for kids and grown-ups alike. There are water rides, slides, pools and sun-bed areas for fun in the sun, and for the hungry, a number of restaurants and snack bars. For those who love to shop there are boutiques and shops for all your requirements and essentials, including non-essentials, like souvenirs and the like.
Parque Las Aguilas - Located three or four miles from Los Cristianos, The Eagle Park is one of Tenerifes most exciting attractions. It is designed to give the feel of being in a jungle, and has exotic trees and jungle flora, with parrots clambering about the branches, and in the animal enclosures such fascinating creatures as the Pygmy Hippo and the magnificent white tigers. With shops and restaurants this attraction is much more than just a zoo, and affords great entertainment for the whole family.
Loro Parque - Over 20,000 aquatic animals and plants live in the world’s most modern aquarium in Loro Parque. See life as it is lived under the sea in this silent submarine world, where sharks swim just above your head, close enough for you to gaze into their grim jaws and count the teeth that destroy life in a flash in one razor sharp clamp. Or, wonder at the brilliance of a thousand neon fish lighting their own world of colour.
LOS CRISTIANOS CHILDRENS ACTIVITIES:
Camel Park (Near Los Cristianos) - Give your kids something a little different to enjoy. Let them take a ride on a camel, and then afterwards, take them for an Arab meal.

Tenerife features the lowest temperature difference between summer and winter for anywhere in the world. Our weather occasionally includes rain, but there is no specific rainy season. Air conditioning is quite rare, with overhead fans usually providing sufficient air movement to stay cool, even at the height of summer. The minimum and maximum annual average air temperatures in Tenerife are about 15C in winter and 24C in summer. Therefore we enjoy wonderful weather in one of the worlds best and most delightful climates. The Island offers a surprising variety of micro-climatic weather zones, enabling people to almost choose their climate, depending on where they live. The Trade winds, together with the refreshing Gulf air currents, are the major weather factors that contribute to Tenerifes climate. The great altitude of Mount Teide gets up to three months of snow - yet it is still possible to enjoy a swim on the beach within an hours ride. The coastal areas enjoy the most sunshine, the best weather, the least clouds and highest temperatures.
