Situated a few kilometres inland from the Atlantic coastline, in the south of the island of Tenerife, is the town of Arona. Its historic quarter contains a wide repertoire of important examples of popular architecture integrated with the rural environment. Meanwhile, the beaches of Las Américas and Los Cristianos, as well as fishing villages such as Las Galletas, combine the traditions of the Canary Islands with leisure spaces and luxury housing developments. Similarly, the magnificent waters of the area and the sea bottom are perfect for practising nautical sports and submarinism. In addition, this municipality also boasts protected natural spaces, magnificent natural sceneries and impressive views of the Teide, at 3,718 metres the highest peak in Spain.
Whilst tranquillity is guaranteed on the small beaches and coves, the tourist resorts provide visitors with non-stop amusement. Restaurants, bars and pavement cafes overlooking the ocean are just a few of the options on offer for enjoying the night life of the Canary Islands. All kinds of international cuisine can be sampled in Arona, but trying some of the area's more typical recipes is an absolute must.
