Holidays in tenerife las americas. Playa de Las Americas - the main resort of Tenerife

Playa de Las Americas is resort town in the southwestern part of the island. Here began one of the sea routes to America, hence the name. However, looking at Las Americas today, the name is more likely to be associated with contemporary American culture. Everything is very chic and on a grand scale: Hard Rock Cafe, a theater that looks more like a casino in Las Vegas, shopping centers, sparkling "Rolex" from shop windows, golf and tennis fields ... Even on the streets you can hear more English (and Russian) speech - in a word, there is no Spanish flavor at all.

The city was founded on empty place in the 1970s when tourism began to boom in Tenerife. In the same years, the Aqualand water park appeared, and the Loro Zoo on the other side of the island was already actively attracting tourists from all over the world. Las Americas was built mainly for commercial purposes, and it is clearly felt. The place was chosen well, because in this part of the island the sun always shines and the carefree resort life goes on as usual, while in the north and in the mountains clouds frown, driving tourists away from the beach. On the southern coast, it is warm in winter and not too hot in summer: the temperature in winter is not lower than 20 ° C, in summer it is not higher than 30 ° C.

The main attraction is, of course, the beach, where the azure wave caresses the shore. You can swim on this stretch of coast from March to November, the ocean is quite calm, shallow near the coast, big waves, as in neighboring El Medano, does not happen here, so you can safely stay in Las Americas even with small children. Particularly courageous Russians swim in winter. Although the ocean is always cool and warms up to no more than 21 ° C, it is still more comfortable to swim in spring and summer.

There are many beaches here - eight, velvet sand is brought here from the Sahara desert to delight tourist eyes. Particularly good are Del Camison beach near five-star hotels, Troya beach, where young people come to smoothly move to the bars of the famous Las Veronicas neighborhood in the evening, as well as La Pinta, a family beach where there are many children happily flopping down from inflatable slides in water. In general, the beaches of Las Americas are quite quiet. It is dominated by people of mature age, mainly from England and Germany, there are few street vendors. The noisiest companies on the beach are locals, and not crazed tourists, as, for example, in Barcelona. Theft is common, as in other tourist places Spain, from the “lucky man” who fell asleep on the beach, they take everything that lies badly.

Tenerife South Airport is only 20 kilometers from Las Americas, which is very convenient. A taxi ride will cost 10-12 euros, by bus - only 3 euros.

Las Americas is the largest resort Canary Islands, while delighting with affordable prices. There are several 4- and 5-star hotels here, which often do profitable offer, as they were strongly pressed by private traders renting apartments and villas via the Internet. As a result, in a good hotel you can stay at almost the same prices as in apartments, but get European service in addition.

In the center of the city there is a huge park covering an area of almost 42 square meters. km. You will certainly enjoy the collection of tropical plants brought here from all over the world. In Las Americas, such a typically American sport as golf is developed. Anyone can learn how to hit the ball. And the beautiful half of humanity can, in the meantime, "shop" to its fullest! Numerous shopping centers offer a wide range of clothing, shoes and accessories: from the basic firms Zara, Mango and Desigual to luxury brands from around the world - Escada, Prada, D&G and others. And all this is sold without VAT, as the Canary Islands are a free economic zone.

There is no shortage of cafes and bars in Las Americas: every evening you can have lunch and dinner in a new place. But do not look for tapas (they are not available in the Canary Islands in principle) or paella (it is better not to take it here). In Las Americas, all establishments offer a standard set of dishes at standard prices that are served in any resort in the world: pizza, pasta, burgers with fries, steaks. All food in restaurants is of high quality and inexpensive. There are also several Chinese restaurants and the ubiquitous fast food. Without trying Canarian cuisine, you can’t leave Tenerife, so we advise you to look for small restaurants away from the beach or even in other cities, for example, in Icod de los Vinos, where you can also buy the famous local Malvasia wine, or in the port city of Los Gigantes with its good fish

Playa de las Americas - popular tourist resort located on southwest coast islands of Tenerife. The resort was built in the 1960s and stretches west of Costa Adeje. The sun is practically all year round and many sandy beaches (sand was brought specially from Africa) attract thousands of tourists here.

Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean have rightfully earned the status of an elite vacation among tourists who prefer the best of the seven large inhabited islands - Tenerife. For two decades now Playa de Las Americas holds the palm among the resorts of Tenerife.

The history of the resort

In the early 70s, the north of the island could not cope with the increasing number of tourists from year to year, who were attracted by the beautiful lush vegetation of the island, the healing sea air and evening walks along the wide promenade.

The government of Tenerife saw very quickly that tourism brings income to the municipality of the city, but the north of the island, with turbulent oceans, clouds and unpredictable precipitation, did not allow travelers to be received year-round.

Their eyes turned to the south, where the ridge kept the cold trade winds out and it rained only a few times a year. At that time, the south of Tenerife was a semi-desert with rare bushes of the Canarian milkweed, which had learned to exist without moisture among the stones, and several small settlements of fishermen.

The government faced a difficult task: to build hotels of various categories and create good infrastructure. Spanish and foreign investors were attracted to implement the project of turning an abandoned strip of coast into a modern resort. This was facilitated by the appearance of an international airport 20 km from the future city, which was inaugurated in 1978 by Queen Sofia herself. For several years, the airport bore the name of the Spanish Queen until it was renamed International Airport Tenerife - South.

City with numerous hotels, bars, restaurants, entertainment centers was built specifically for vacationers in just two decades and was named Playa de las Americas, which means "beach of America" in Spanish. Thus, the Spaniards emphasized the great feat of Columbus and his team, who discovered America. As a rule, local residents do not live in this city, but only come to work from all over the island.

Today, the resort town stretches along the coast for 6 km and is visited by millions of tourists from Europe. Only 3% of the total number of tourists in the high season are residents of Russia. But many hotels, shopping centers and entertainment venues have recently been recruiting Russian-speaking employees. It has also become the norm in many restaurants and bars to bring menus in Russian to customers.

"Island of Volcanoes" - this name was assigned to the island, on the territory of which in the 18th century there were a series of destructive eruptions that destroyed ¼ of the surface of the entire island.

Territorial division

In the eastern part, the most lively and crowded with many clubs and discos, young people like to spend their holidays.

In both zones, there are 7 artificial beaches with imported fine gray sand. All beaches are protected from high waves Atlantic Ocean stone piers. For many tourists, stone barriers become a convenient place for fishing.

On the shore you can always rent umbrellas, sun loungers, as well as ride jet skis, bananas, "tablets", catamarans, boats and snow-white yachts. But in addition to the standard beach service, noisy sellers sell fruits on the beach and Chinese masseuses offer their services.

Despite the fact that Playa de las Americas is considered a holiday destination for the elite public, tourists who choose economy class tours feel confident here.

Las Americas is a modern resort center of Tenerife with good infrastructure and a variety of entertainment, close to wide sandy beaches. This is the largest, youngest and most popular resort in Tenerife. As a large settlement, this is the most Old city islands. As Playa de Las Americas has grown in just the past 30 years, it has been designed and built to meet the demands of the average European for a trendy beach resort.

Location

Las Americas is ideal for tourist center location of Tenerife: on the south coast of the island, famous for its constant warm and dry climate, as well as the best sandy beaches. The water near the coast here is almost always warmed up to more than + 20 °.

The beaches of Las Americas stretch for several kilometers. Initially South coast Tenerife was rocky and uncomfortable for swimming. The purest fine sand for eight beaches was specially brought from the Sahara desert or raised from the bottom of the ocean. And to protect the beaches from erosion, concrete breakwaters were built everywhere. The calm ocean and gently sloping sandy bottom are ideal for swimming, even for small children.

Resort Features

Geographically, Las Americas is divided into two parts: the more lively and "party" Playa de Las Americas, and the more respectable and calm Costa Adeje, which is also the historical center. The conditional division of the districts runs along the dry river bed near the Esperia Troya hotel.

Playa de Las Americas is a very beautiful, modern, well-groomed and incredibly clean city, the urban landscape of which is decorated with palm gardens descending to the very shore. And in the neighboring area of Costa Adeje, it will be interesting to wander through the ancient streets among the ancient elegant villas, temples and chapels. This is a typical European seaside resort. But for a real island flavor, you need to go to the town of San Juan (in the southwest of Tenerife) or to northern Puerto de la Cruz.

Things to Do in Las Americas

Many possibilities for active rest: jet skis, scooters, bananas, etc. You can take a boat trip with or without fishing on yachts, sailboats, catamarans, which are many in the sports port of Puerto Colon. There are two water parks, nightclubs, casinos, discos, restaurants, colorful costumed performances are regularly held - jousting tournaments, variety shows, flamenco parties, Spanish ballet.

So, if you have chosen Las Americas as your holiday destination, then you can book an apartment or a villa here. The price of apartments (for 4 beds) in the center of the resort near the beach starts from 600 euros per week, and renting a small two-bedroom villa 1000 meters from the beach will cost from 1000 euros per week.

Playa de Las Americas (Playa de las Amerikas) - the largest and popular resort in the south of Tenerife. Every year, thousands of travelers choose it for their vacation. And this is no coincidence, since it has an excellent combination of quality beaches, developed infrastructure and hotels of various levels. How to organize your vacation in Las Americas, let's try to figure it out in this article.

Despite the fact that we did not live in Playa de Las America, we were regular visitors. After all, the entire resort life of the island is concentrated in it. There is a large selection of restaurants, cafes, many supermarkets, shopping centers and small shops. There are many tour agencies in this resort. And most importantly, it is easy to get to any city on the island from here.

Playa de Las Americas is located at a distance of 20 km. and 80 km. from the island's capital city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Like many resort towns, it is represented by leisure facilities and hotel complexes. On the one hand, Las Americas borders (along Mount Chayofita), and on the other - with (along the riverbed of the Barranco de Troya). True, this border is very arbitrary, because walking along the coast, you will not notice it. Currently, all three resorts have practically merged into one large tourist destination.

Las Americas has been actively developing since the 70s of the last century. It is hard to imagine, but then there was nothing for tourists. The first Gran Tenerife hotel was built in 1971. Since then, it has been updated and improved many times. It still functions and if you wish, you can spend your vacation in it. Gradually, Las Americas expanded, new infrastructure appeared. The appearance of the airport in the south of Tenerife breathed new strength into the resort.

Unlike other resorts in Las Americas, you can meet Russian tourists. Local entrepreneurs are also adapting to this factor and offer a menu in Russian in cafes. Some of them even have Russian-speaking employees. And in hotels there are still few people who know Russian. So basic knowledge of English will come in handy, or, as an option, an indispensable Google translator.

Las Americas has a very beautiful and well-equipped promenade. Let's walk around a little and see the surroundings. On the embankment you can see a lot of people running.

While walking, look around. Pay attention to the creative sculpture in the photo above. There are also located right along the sea. They enjoy well-deserved attention from photographers.

Another creative idea. Benches are installed along the embankment, you can sit down and take a break from a walk.

And it already looks like a stone statue created by nature itself. She reminds me of a lion.

Along the waterfront you can also find playgrounds.

The Las Americas promenade is a cozy place. It is pleasant to walk here, breathe the sea air and admire the beautiful Canary landscapes.

Weather

Las Americas is considered a year-round resort. But in winter it is not at all hot here. The air temperature averages 20-23 degrees, the sun is much hotter. There is almost no precipitation, the weather is good and sunny. Many swim and sunbathe. But in winter, the ocean cools down to 19 degrees. For those who like to swim in hot water, it will not be very comfortable to swim. Pools come to the rescue, which are in almost every hotel. And here sunburn lays down in the winter well. The peak season in Las Americas is July-August, when the holiday season begins for many Europeans. If you don't want crowds, it's best to avoid these months.

Entertainment and attractions

There are no historical sights in the young resort, but entertainment for every taste and budget. Las Americas is considered the most party place on the island, as many nightclubs and bars are concentrated here. Therefore, it is here that young people often go on vacation. The noisiest places are located near hotels and. But older people prefer quieter resorts.

The main entertainment of the resort can be safely attributed to:

with a variety of water slides and attractions.
More relaxed Aqualand, which is more suitable for children.
The medieval castle of San Miguel, where you can go on a tour.

Nearby theme parks:

Eagle Park (Jungle park)
Monkey park
Camel park (camel park)

On the beach you can ride a jet ski or a banana, and in the evening listen to live music in one of the restaurants. Part of the vacation can be taken to. You can get to know some of it yourself.

shopping

Shopping lovers should visit Avenida de Las Americas, where Parque Santiago II and Safari shopping centers are located. This avenue is also called the "golden mile" because all the world's brands are represented on it.

And after shopping you can get vivid impressions in concert hall"Pyramid of Arona", created in antique style, or have dinner in one of the cafes. In the evening, the avenue is illuminated by the lights of a singing fountain. But do not tune in to a grand show, like in Barcelona, everything is simple here.
