Los Cristianos Property and Location

Buying Property in Los Cristianos

Starting life as little more than a small residential fishing village, the resort of Los Cristianos on the south west coast of Tenerife has spent the last 40 years growing into one of the largest tourist developments on the island. Apartments for sale in Los Cristianos go at an alarming rate and although property prices are rising there are still some good deals to be had here.

Unlike the nearby Playa de Las Americas and despite Los Cristianos’ rapid growth, this town has managed to retain a strong sense of its Canarian heritage, with many locals still choosing to live there, so its easy to understand why property is so popular here.

Overlooked by the majestic slopes of a now long extinct volcano and sheltered by a sweeping bay the focal point of Los Cristianos is without a doubt the pedestrianised area around the town’s picturesque harbour. This area boasts just about every type of shop and eatery available and is a well kept labyrinth of alleyways and avenues that all lead down to the harbour area.

Fronted by a square surrounded with restaurants and encircled by sandy beaches this harbour is a crescent-shaped bay backed by a long, wide promenade. It is from this harbour that the traditional Canarian fishing boats still leave to fish the local waters, weaving their way in and out of the way of the large ferries and jet foils that are making their regular trips over to the nearby island of La Gomera.

The wide traffic free promenade that runs along the full length of the resort, several miles right into the heart of Playa de Las Americas, through the Costa Adeje district, and ultimately on to the resort of La Caleta in the west, starts here at the eastern end of the harbour bay adjacent to the hotel Arona Gran.

There are two main beaches in Los Cristianos, the best undoubtedly being that of Playa de Las Vistas. This is a man-made beach covered in sand imported from the Sahara so it is white sand not the usual dark volcanic sand that is seen on other beaches in the Canary Islands.
