Tenerife, the largest and most populous of Spain’s Canary Islands, is located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Africa.
A major tourist destination, known for its volcanic landscapes, year-round warm climate, and stunning beaches has become one of the top choices for British tourists.
With an abundance of tourist attractions, restaurants, and beaches, a group of experts from the island have shared the best beaches across the island, and affordable places to get food and £2 pints.
Rick Cosgrove, Kitty de Graaf, Katie Honcu, and Kara Scarlata have been living and working on the island for years and shared the hidden gems with The Sun.
Mr Cosgrove, a professional compere at many of the island’s bars, revealed that Los Cristianos, a vibrant sun-soaked paradise, has some places that offer beer at a cheap rate.
He told The Sun: “One of my favourites is the newly opened Chicagos in Los Cristianos – an American style sports bar serving ribs and burgers. (Burgers from €9 and ribs from €12)
“In Los Cristianos, The Star of Bengal does fantastic curries (mains from £6.8 and £2.5, and the Mongolian BBQ Restaurant has an all-you-can-eat buffet that’s cooked in front of you, for around £12.5 per person.”
According to him, the best beach holiday place on the island is Puerto Colon and Fanabe beaches.
Puerto Colón is a modern marina and tourist hotspot located in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, on the island’s southwest coast. It is known for its luxury yachts, water activities, restaurants, and lively atmosphere, making it a popular destination for visitors looking for both relaxation and adventure.
He added: “I love both Puerto Colon and Fanabe beaches. These two coves are next to each other in Costa Adeje in the south of the island, and are ideal for beach lovers.
“Puerto Colon has a lot more going on, as it’s next to the marina and all sea excursions in the south tend to depart from here, so there is a plethora of bars, cafes and restaurants to serve your needs.
“If you find Puerto Colon too busy, then neighbouring mile-long Fanabe beach is a little more relaxed with quieter beach clubs along the edge.”
Kitty de Graaf, a travel consultant and blogger on the island, said: “Tenerife South is perfect for a beach holiday with more hours of sunshine and stunning beaches like Playa de las Vistas in Los Cristianos, and Playa del Duque in Costa Adeje.”
