Shrimps (local)
The off menu dishes (composed salads)
When you step into La Gaviota in Las Galletas, you feel like you're in a true seafood restaurant: the menu revolves around fresh fish and Mediterranean flavors, with simple starters, rice dishes, shellfish, and other seafood specialties. Its location on La Marina street adds to the charm of a seaside terrace where you can enjoy the breeze while you eat at your leisure.
La Gaviota's menu is well-balanced: it features light salads, side dishes like rice or potatoes, and a seafood specialty, with options that combine grilled and fried dishes. There are rice dishes and seafood platters, making it versatile for those who want something casual as well as those who prefer a more elaborate meal by the sea.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. I think it's the perfect place for a quiet lunch at sunset, whether you're with your partner or in a group: the terrace invites you to linger, chat, and gaze at the sea. It's not a touristy restaurant, but it's refined enough to ensure a pleasant and unpretentious experience.
In terms of value for money, La Gaviota offers a fair experience: the fish and seafood dishes provide excellent value for the price, and the menu isn't full of tourist traps, but rather dishes that reflect its Mediterranean and maritime identity.
For me, La Gaviota is an excellent stop if you're exploring Las Galletas: it's the kind of place where you can eat well, with authentic flavor, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy simple yet honest cuisine. If you're looking for fresh fish and produce, without any fuss, you'll find it here.

Where to eat
Il Gelato del Mercato
If you're craving some delicious gelato while strolling through Los Cristianos, Il Gelato del Mercato is a must-stop. Here, the focus is on Italian-style gelato, with intense flavors and a wonderfully creamy texture. It's perfect for a quick treat while exploring the area, offering both classic options and more original creations that are sure to surprise.
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
A.O.C. PETANCA, LOS CRISTIANOS
The A.O.C. Petanca Los Cristianos is a veteran club in the south of Tenerife, right across from the beach, where passion for this traditional sport is in the air. Located in a quiet, sunny area, it brings together local and visiting players looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. More than just a court, it's a social meeting place where camaraderie, laughter, and healthy competition keep alive a deeply rooted custom in the Canary Islands.
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.
