Los Gigantes:
The quaint village of Los Gigantes snuggles in a peaceful, secluded valley. There is no through road, no rowdy hoards of youngsters out to get smashed, no endless machines blaring out their mindless racket day and night, no 'kiss me quick' hats - just friendly people enjoying a gentle pace of life in a glorious setting. This is one of the most tranquil and exclusive areas of the island of Tenerife.
The village has been built around the traditional style plaza with the beautiful church at its heart. The church boasts an interesting selection of bronze sculptures with a dramatic painting over the altar. This plaza is the hub of the village. Take time out and enjoy a glass of local wine or a coffee and just watch the world go by. If you're lucky the local 'parakeetas' will put on an aerial display for you in one of the large leafy trees.
Tenerife:
The island of Tenerife is one of incredible variety. It offers dramatic scenery with majestic Mount Teide presiding over the island in snow-capped glory. Then there are the remote mountain villages with a wonderful Alpine feel where dainty flowers carpet green meadows. Rugged ravines run down to the sea, a splendid testimony to the volcanic presence (thankfully not seen for some years). The coastline is skimmed with magnificent cliffs, such as seen in Los Gigantes and sandy beaches either clothed in the famous black sand or the, more common, golden variety.
Stunning Views:
There are stunning views across the bay to the island of La Gomera, which rises majestically from the ocean. Take time out at sunset to just stand and stare at the spectacular free show as the sun plops into the sea coating the island and water in liquid gold. The magnificent Los Gigantes cliffs soar above the Northern side of the village helping create a sheltered year-round climate.
