Los Gigantes, Resort town in Santiago del Teide, Spain

The cliffs of Los Gigantes extend for several kilometers along the western coast, reaching heights between 500 and 800 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.

The indigenous Guanche people named these vertical walls the Devil's Wall, considering them a natural barrier that protected their territories from external invasions.

The Poblado Marinero district exhibits traditional Canarian architecture with white facades, pine wood balconies, and spacious interior courtyards around communal gardens.

The marina provides access to numerous water activities, including whale watching expeditions, diving excursions, and boat trips to neighboring coastal villages.

The natural harbor contains a black sand beach nestled between towering rock formations and a protected marina designed to shield vessels from strong ocean currents.
