The charming seaside town of Los Gigantes has maintained its popularity throughout Tenerife´s travel boom years. Los Gigantes is located on the sunny, west coast of the island, approximately a 45 minutes drive from Tenerife´s southern airport Reina Sofia.
Los Gigantes is one of the most attractive natural wonders on Tenerife. The town is protected by impressive rock cliffs up to 800 metres high and which drop down to the sea almost vertically.
Acantilados de los Gigantes translates to "cliffs of the giants". These massive cliffs gave this pretty town its name and they extend from Los Gigantes to Punta de Teno which is the most westerly point of the whole island. When arriving to this small coastal town these cliffs offer quite an impressive view, located only a mere 30 kilometres away from the popular holiday areas of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas.
