Must-try dishes
Caffè, Brioches, Cannolo Siciliano, Sfogliatella Riccia, Ciambella
When you step into Aurora, in Las Galletas, you'll feel like you've traveled straight to Italy: their display case overflows with croissants, ciambellas, Sicilian cannoli, and those Neapolitan sfogliatelle that so remind me of a neighborhood pastry shop in Naples. I especially love the pistachio cream-filled croissant: it's soft, creamy, and has a touch of salt that captivates you from the first bite. They also have donuts, brioches, and other traditional sweets that change every morning because, as they tell me, everything is made with care and freshness.
The coffee deserves a special mention: Italian-style espresso, short and strong, and they also make a barraquito, a blend of condensed milk, Licor 43, coffee cream, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon. It's a combination as Tenerife-esque as it is delicious, perfect to accompany any pastry.
The service at Aurora is friendly: the staff can explain each pastry, tell you how they're made, and make suggestions based on your preferences. That makes you feel right at home, even though you're in a pastry shop with exquisite technique and imported flavors.
For me, Aurora is the ideal place for an elegant yet unpretentious breakfast or for treating yourself in the afternoon. It's a place where you lose track of time while deciding whether to try a cannolo, a sfogliatella, or simply another ciambella. If you like artisanal pastries, well-made coffee, and Italian delicacies, you can't miss it.

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
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
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 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.
