Guide to Los Cristianos

It would be naive to suggest that a Tenerife resort as popular as Los Cristianos has not been effected by tourism (so many people come here to enjoy the Los Cristianos weather), but unlike its purpose built neighbour Playas de las Americas the resort grow out of a small Canarian fishing village and has still retained some of its original charm. Los Cristianos has a working port with a fishing fleet so it doesn’t have that exclusively tourist feel that some in the Canaries do.


You will find the resort is generally much more sedate than its neighbour and the Los Cristianos nightlife is much more relaxed than the nightlife in Playa de las Americas.

Local Transport

 

Los Cristianos is reasonably well connected by bus to the rest of the island. Do take the time to travel up to fantastic Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the 110 bus. The journey only takes an hour and buses go every 30 minutes or so. The contrast between the busy resort and the island’s capital couldn’t be more pronounced. You will get a real look at local life with very few (if any) other tourists around. If you are visiting during carnival then make sure that you visit Santa Cruz which has the biggest and most vibrant carnival in the world outside Rio (which the town is twinned with.)
The 111 bus runs around the local resorts and to the airport.
