Los Cristianos, Port settlement in Arona, Spain

Los Cristianos extends between Chayofita and Guaza mountains on the south coast of Tenerife, featuring two beaches and a ferry harbor.

The area developed from a tiny fishing port in the 1860s to receive official recognition in 1888 with 29 houses and a cave settlement.

The town square near the fishing harbor contains numerous streets filled with restaurants serving Canarian seafood dishes and traditional Spanish cuisine.

Two local markets operate on Tuesdays and Sundays, offering fresh produce, crafts, and goods along streets near the coastal promenade.

The main beach contains sand transported from the Sahara Desert, with waters connecting through ferry services to La Gomera and El Hierro islands.
