Gastro Gallo
Costa del Silencio
Must-try dishes
All pastas, pizzas (my favourite the “Lacrima”)
Visiting Gastro Gallo in Costa del Silencio is like discovering a very welcoming Italian corner in southern Tenerife. Located on Calle Hércules in Arona, the restaurant offers a menu that combines authentic pizzas, pastas, Mediterranean dishes, and expertly prepared Italian specialties. Their menu is extensive enough to offer everything from a simple pizza to a more elaborate dish, always made with fresh ingredients.
The pizzas have a well-made crust, generous toppings, and you can tell with every bite that this isn't just "tourist pizza": it's made with care. They also have daily specials created by their chef, which adds variety and keeps the menu fresh. The fact that they offer "daily specials" adds an authentic, home-style touch, going beyond the typical pizzeria fare.
The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. It's the kind of place you want to go to for lunch to eat something delicious without any stress, or in the evening for a quality Italian dinner without breaking the bank. It's unpretentious, but incredibly welcoming: indoor tables and areas that allow you to comfortably enjoy your meal.
As for value, Gastro Gallo is reasonably priced for what it offers: pizzas, pasta, and Italian dishes that are sure to impress, with reasonable portions and high-quality ingredients. It's also a very convenient option if you're staying in the south of Tenerife and looking for a solid, no-nonsense Italian restaurant with a genuine Mediterranean touch.
In short: you'll love it if you're craving authentic Italian food in Tenerife, something beyond quick pizza, with well-prepared dishes, a warm atmosphere, and the feeling of being in a local restaurant with a true Italian heart.

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
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
Zona de calistenia en el Puerto de San Miguel
The Calistenia area of Puerto de San Miguel, in Amarilla Golf, is one of these locations that offers a complete experience. The park is beautiful and not particularly large, but it is just outside the sea, just like the port of sports, as it can be seen with views of the boats, the ocean and the volcanic landscape on the Costa Sur. A very tranquil location for outdoor activities in the more urban atmosphere of other parks.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña Roja
Walking the circular route that starts in El Médano and heads toward Montaña Roja is like stepping into an otherworldly volcanic landscape: reddish sand, deep blue sea, and the wind that caresses you with every step. You can see World War II bunkers, aquatic birds, and panoramic views of the southern part of the island. You'll love it if you're looking for an easy hike with that "reconnect with nature" feel in southern Tenerife.
