El Medano is a quiet fishing village in south Tenerife between Candelaria and Los Cristianos. Well loved by Tinerfenos, the beach in El Medano is the longest natural sandy beach on the island. El Medano has two protected mountains, one on either side of the village. On the right Montana Roja, on the left Monta?a Pelada. Los Delfines is to be found 3 minutes walk from Montana Pelada which houses a pretty sandy beach at its base. This beach is little known to tourists. In the village small shops and restaurants abound. Typical Canarian cuisine alongside more international flavours. Proximity to the main roads makes exploring easy, be it Teide, Santa Cruz or Los Gigantes, all accessible in 1 hr. Windsurfing is the predominant sport in El Medano. Cabezo beach gets big waves whilst playa sur is much more protected. Canoeing, snorkelling, kite surfing, body boarding, swimming or just lazing around in the sun, El Medano offers it all in a friendly, mainly Spanish atmosphere.
