Los Cristianos is situated 15 km's west of the southern airport (Reina Sofía). 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. There are many pubs, clubs, shops, restaurants (English and German too) and rich nightlife. Nearby is Aqua-Park Octopus. Tenerife Zoo and the Eagles Park are also within easy reach of Los Cristianos.
