Puerto Santiago
Puerto Santiago is the central holiday resort of three separate
ones, Los Gigantes, Playa Arena and Puerto Santiago, which have
spread and essentially merged into each other on Tenerife's west
coast, forming the area's largest tourist hub collectively known as
Los Gigantes. The resort of Puerto Santiago was once a small
fishing village, but typical of the Canary Islands, is now a
popular holiday destination garnering rave reviews from most
tourists and visitors. Puerto Santiago boasts a small but decent
selection of bars, restaurants, shops and activities to suit the
tourist palette. Puerto Santiago has managed to retain some of its
traditional charm and offers visitors the chance to relax and enjoy
a seaside break with a local Spanish flavour; although some
visitors might take a while to get accustomed to the black sand
beach.
