Sandwiches
Visiting The Little Mermaid is like discovering a Nordic-inspired haven in southern Tenerife. Located in El Camison (Las Américas), the restaurant's menu blends Danish-inspired recipes with a wider range of European dishes: you'll find tender meats, expertly prepared burgers, fish, and home-style stews. Many customers particularly appreciate the quality of the meat and the perfect doneness of their roast beef or roast pork, as well as the traditional Danish touch evident in dishes like "stjerneskud" (a type of stew) or the side dishes of red cabbage and cucumber.
The restaurant boasts a simple yet refined ambiance: a comfortable interior, well-spaced tables, and an intimate atmosphere that works equally well for couples, families, or groups looking for something more than just a quick dinner. The waiters are typically very friendly, and part of the charm lies in the feeling of a small restaurant that people return to when they come back to Tenerife.
Another highlight is their wine list: it's extensive and sophisticated, adding a special touch to the dining experience. Furthermore, the restaurant pays attention to detail without overdoing it: elegant presentation, but without extravagance.
For me, The Little Mermaid is one of those hidden gems that surprises you when you're exploring the Americas and looking for something different: Nordic cuisine with heart, a relaxed yet classy atmosphere, and food to be savored at a leisurely pace.

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
FlyX Tenerife
If you're looking for a unique activity in southern Tenerife, FlyX is one of the most original options to have recently arrived on the island. It's not your typical 5D cinema, but an immersive experience that lets you "fly" over some of Tenerife's most spectacular landscapes using moving seats, sensory effects, and a large, wraparound screen. It's the perfect way to discover the island from a completely different perspective.
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
King Of Judah Reggae Bar
If you're looking for a bar with its own unique personality in Los Cristianos, King of Judah Reggae Bar is probably one of the most distinctive you'll find. Here, everything revolves around reggae culture, handcrafted cocktails, and an atmosphere that feels more Caribbean than touristy. The music, the largely handmade decor, and the friendly service create a very special ambiance where it's easy to stay much longer than you planned.
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.
