On the sunny South-west coast of Tenerife is the almost 10km long coastal area of the main tourist resort of 'Playa de las Americas'. Up until the 1960s, this region was pure sand and stone desert. Today the scenery is of hotels, bungalows and apartment complexes.
The holiday life for the international audience is found predominantly in the fine sandy beaches and countless bars, pubs and discos. For the stroller, there is an uninterrupted promenade, nearly 15km long, which reaches as far as Los Cristianos.
