Arepera Los Rodrigues
Buzanada
Must-try dishes
Arepas and cachapa made with almogrote and sweet guava
In the heart of Buzanada, in the municipality of Arona, lies Arepera Los Rodrigues, a place that perfectly embodies the spirit of home cooking. Run by a Venezuelan family, this restaurant has earned a special place among locals and visitors alike thanks to its authentic dishes and high-quality cuisine.
The menu focuses on the arepa, the emblematic Venezuelan corn bread, handmade and served with generous and flavorful fillings: from the classic reina pepiada to the shredded beef arepa, as well as options with chicken, cheese, or pork. Every bite is a tribute to traditional recipes, reinterpreted with a personal touch that reflects the family spirit of its owners.
In addition to arepas, Los Rodrigues offers other Venezuelan classics, such as freshly made tequeños, filled empanadas, and natural juices that perfectly complement each dish. All of this is served in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Unpretentious, it possesses the characteristic warmth of family-run establishments, where customers are greeted with genuine friendliness.
What truly distinguishes this arepa restaurant is its spirit: a place where the most important thing is not only well-being, but also sharing a pleasant moment with friends and family. Its affordable prices and consistent quality have made it a landmark in Buzanada, a place where Venezuelan tradition blends with Canarian hospitality, making each visit as authentic as it is delicious.

Where to eat
D´Tapas
If you work in the Las Chafiras area and are looking for a simple place to have an early breakfast or a good lunch without spending a lot, Cafetería De Tapas is a very practical option. The place caters to local workers, so it opens early and is great for quick breakfasts and a set lunch menu for €11.

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.

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.
