Il Gelato del Mercato
Los Cristianos
Must-try dishes
Ice cream
If you're strolling through Los Cristianos and craving something sweet that truly stands out, Il Gelato del Mercato is a standout option thanks to its distinctly Italian style. Here, you don't just come to cool off, but to savor expertly crafted gelato, with that creamy, dense texture that sets it apart from more conventional ice creams.
The variety of flavors is one of its strengths. You'll find everything from timeless classics to more elaborate combinations that change frequently, encouraging you to try something different each time. The flavors are typically intense and quite true to their promises, especially noticeable in the fruit and creamier options.
The shop works perfectly as a quick stop along the promenade. It's not so much a place to linger, but rather to choose your gelato and continue enjoying the area's atmosphere, whether walking along the seafront or finding a nearby bench.
Another interesting detail is that it maintains that focus of a specialty gelateria, where the product takes center stage and everything revolves around offering a simple yet carefully curated experience. There's no unnecessary frills, just good gelato made with care.
If you love authentic gelato and you're in Los Cristianos, this place is perfect for a break during your stroll: something fresh, with real flavor, and uncomplicated.

Where to eat
La Comedia
If you're looking for a place in Las Galletas where you can eat well without spending a lot, La Comedia is one of those bars that works really well for everyday meals. The main attraction here is their set menu for €10.99, which includes a starter, main course, drink, and dessert. It's a great option for a quick, varied, and affordable meal, with homemade dishes and a full menu for those who prefer something different.
What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
Tunolandia Canarias
This is a distinctive plan on the island of Tenerife across all the playa and hotels, Tunolandia is one of these curiosities that are so popular. In the Valle de San Lorenzo, this space consists of a variety of tuneras, gastronomy, tradition and products based on high pico. Aquí puedes pasear entre cactus gigantes, probar mermeladas, licores o mojo de tuno y descubrir una cara mucho más rural y diferente del sur de la isla.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
Roca Blanca
This beach club, located right on the seafront in one of the quietest areas of Los Cristianos, is ideal for enjoying a leisurely cocktail and stretching out the afternoon until sunset. It features a terrace with tables, a swimming pool, and Balinese beds, which should be reserved in advance. The atmosphere is relaxed, with music and a DJ, perfect for quiet get-togethers with friends or even for working from home with ocean views. It's not a place for formal dining, but rather for savoring the experience, the friendly service, and the sunset as the main attraction.
Shopping
BOX-FISH - Dive Shop
BOX-FISH is a diving, freediving, and spearfishing shop located in Costa del Silencio. It stands out for its extensive inventory, very competitive European prices, and fast delivery service to the Canary Islands (in-store and online). It offers equipment rentals, renowned brands, technical assistance, and friendly service. Ideal for both novice and experienced divers.
Sports
Street Workout Kenguru Pro
If you enjoy working out outdoors and you're in Playa de Las Américas, Street Workout KenguruPro is a great place to maintain your routine without going to a gym. It's not a huge or particularly advanced park, but it has the essentials for a good workout: bars, parallel bars, and enough space for calisthenics and functional exercises. Plus, it's in a very central location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña de Chayofita
The Chayofita Mountain Trail in Los Cristianos is a simple, short route that offers one of the best panoramic views of southern Tenerife. Its route, just over a kilometer long, gently climbs an ancient volcanic cone to a peak overlooking Los Cristianos, Las Américas, and the Atlantic. It's ideal for a sunset walk, enjoying the tranquility and the cityscape from above.
