Los Gigantes Information

Los Gigantes has a small marina and is one of the main harbours for boat trips. The marina is lined with cafes and restaurants an ideal spot to watch the boats and yachts. There is a wider range of bars and restaurants than nearby Puerto de Santiago.

Los Gigantes is well known for it's spectacular imposing cliffs. Beyond the cliffs are the equally amazing Teno mountains.

The town has a small pedestrian square in it's centre with shops surrounding it.

From the small usually un crowded black sand beach, that is next to the marina, view the bay as it sweeps round to the north  and the spectacular cliffs of the Acantilados de la Gigantes which tower up from the sea.  It is the beauty of these lava formed cliffs that attract tourists to this area.

As can be expected there are hills and steps so not recommended for anybody who has difficulty with mobility.

The terrain prevents expansion of Los Gigantes and there is little chance of finding a parking space.

The clear blue sea is ideal for snorkeling

Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago  and Playa de la Arena Nightlife

The 3 areas of Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago an old fishing village and Playa de la Arena a rapidly growing resort, almost merge into each other.  These resorts are more suitable for holiday makers looking for a quieter holiday. They do not have the vibrant nightlife associated to Playa de las Americas 30 km to the south east although you will find bars with music in the 3 resorts.
