Gladiux Show
Guargacho
Must-try dishes
When you arrive at Xanadú and are seated for the Gladiux Show, you know the night is going to be lively. The stage is spacious, open-air or semi-open, and from the very first moment, the atmosphere transports you to the gladiatorial arena: the sounds of horses, armor, powerful music… Meanwhile, you're at your table with dinner included, drinks, and the anticipation of the show to come.
Dinner plays a key role: it's not just watching something, it's eating while you eat. The menu is set and usually includes grilled meats, local sides like potatoes with mojo sauce, unlimited drinks during the meal, and all with views of the southern Tenerife landscape. While you dine, mounted gladiators ride, fight, and compete, and the audience cheers, laughs, and participates. It's a blend of dinner, show, and entertainment that makes the experience stand out from a typical night out at a restaurant.
The audience is diverse: couples seeking a special evening, groups of friends looking for fun, and families (within permitted age ranges) wanting a unique experience. The staging is impressive, featuring improvisation, audience interaction, lighting, sound, and horses. It's a dynamic experience focused on having a good time, being surprised, and leaving with a lasting memory.
What sets the Gladiux Show apart is precisely this combination of live entertainment, themed dinner, and a festive atmosphere in a setting that's neither purely a restaurant nor purely a theater, but both. If you're in Tenerife and want a dinner that becomes an experience—not just "eat and that's it"—you'll love this show. Go with enthusiasm, smile, cheer, and let yourself be swept away by the sand, the horses, and the night.

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. The food is homemade, tasty, and well-prepared for the price, served in a clean and uncomplicated atmosphere.
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
Miel Tament
Tament, which means "honey" in the Amazigh language, is an artisanal gem produced on the same estate that makes Nevales de Abona wine, using Canarian black bees. It is multifloral, pure, and deep golden in color, with a smooth texture and balanced sweetness. Although it doesn't have an official organic seal, it is produced using sustainable and traditional methods. Like the wines, this product can only be found at the San Isidro Farmers Market, at Elsa's stand.
Sports
Circuito Motocross
The San Miguel de Abona Motocross Circuit is one of Tenerife's premier motocross venues. Its technically designed volcanic terrain combines jumps, tight turns, and fast sections, offering fun for both experienced and beginner riders. Located in an arid environment overlooking the sea, it is a popular meeting point for motorsports enthusiasts, with a local atmosphere, training sessions, and competitions throughout the year.
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.
