Los cristianos holidays - Tenerife

One of the island’s premier shopping destinations

Let The Co-operative Travel introduce you to the delights of a Los Cristianos holiday – you’ll become a convert!

Like so many Canary Islands holiday resorts, it was a fishing village long before the tourists arrived. But the brasher, more lurid elements of Tenerife have passed Los Cristianos by, making it a haven for many older, more discerning visitors.

Nestling between two mountains on Tenerife’s southern coast, Los Cristianos has, however, become one of the island’s premier shopping destinations, with the full range of duty-free goods on offer, such as clothing, perfume and cameras. Many gifts fashioned from the locally harvested cultured pearls have made their way back to the UK.

Los Cristianos does take on a different character once night falls, but it’s nowhere near as brash or all-encompassing as some of the neighbouring resorts. There are, though, some excellent pubs and clubs, with the added bonus of a good taxi service to get you home at the end of the night.

Los Cristianos’ beaches offer almost every water sport available, from jet-skiing, to the very popular scuba diving for which the surrounding crystal-clear waters are ideal. Banana boat rides are one of a number of novelty attractions for children on the beach.

The resort’s legacy lives in the form of a great reputation for big game fishing. The Canary Islands provide some of the finest waters anywhere for big game fishing and several companies offer trips, on which, if you’re lucky, you might track and land blue marlin, yellowfin tuna or hammerhead sharks.

There is plenty to see and do on a Los Cristianos package holiday from The Co-operative Travel, and you might be able to bag a last minute holiday deal. Let us point you towards the pick of its many delights, and then be sure to book to secure the dates you want.
