Walk along the path that connects the two villages. You overlook the natural pools and the impressive Los Gigantes rocks!
The mighty Los Gigantes
The charming village of Los Gigantes is located on the west coast of the island of Tenerife and is part of Santiago del Teide. The impressive rock formations rising from the sea are a must-see. For the best experience, you can rent a small boat and admire the rocks from the water. In Los Gigantes, you can find tall apartment buildings and many 'chiquere' hotels. Additionally, the village also has natural swimming pools and a beach. Do you prefer less crowd? Then visit the nearby village of Puerto de Santiago. This village is less known and therefore quieter, with fewer tourists. Stroll through the streets of Los Gigantes and also briefly pass by the small harbor that is right next to the cliffs.
Cozy cocktail bar Da Yago
Next to the Playa de Santiago beach, you will find this cozy and relaxed cocktail bar, perfect for after an afternoon of swimming or as an aperitif. In addition to an extensive selection of cocktails, you can also enjoy small tapas and a small selection of main courses. This low-key bar offers an ideal opportunity to relax and quench your thirst after a day in the sun.
A few minutes walk
Seafood pasta at restaurant 'the sky and the sea'
The restaurant named Cielo y Mar (sky and sea) did not choose this name by chance. From the terrace, you can dine with a breathtaking view of the mighty sea and enjoy a radiant sunset! But why the name 'sky'? At a certain moment, the roof also opens, and you can stare straight up from your table. A delightful experience! As a starter, you can enjoy the traditional Mojo Rojo and Mojo Verde, two local specialties that provide a perfect introduction to Canarian cuisine. For the main course, it is recommended to choose a fish dish. Given the location, it is a must to taste the fresh local products. The seafood pasta is an absolute must-try!
