Los Abrigos
A short walk from Golf del Sur you will find the small harbour and fishing village of Los Abrigos. Tucked away from the main holiday resorts, it still has the feeling of traditional Tenerife.
You will find a variety of seafood and tapas places to eat and drink, some of the restaurants specialising in shellfish. There is also a selection of Canarian food and drink to sample and enjoy.
Los Abrigos has a small beach to relax on and some small local shops.
There is a small market held at Los Abrigos on a Tuesday evening. The market is open from 5.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.
Why not have a lazy day on the beach, a stroll around the market and then something to eat in the harbour at one of the great fish restaurants.
