For the warmest weather, the obvious choices are in Tenerife South. Los Cristianos typically enjoys the warmest average year-round temperatures on the island, mostly calm with no strong winds. High and low temperatures are typically 21c/16c in January and 29c/23c in August.
Los Cristianos began life as a tiny fishing village in the south of Tenerife but is now the second busiest port in Tenerife. However, the town still maintains a distinct Canarian flavour with narrow streets and passageways that give it an authentic feel. For less adventurous holiday makers, this is the closest you may get to authentic Canarian life. However, the town is a perfect springboard from which to explore other parts of the island, or other islands.

Whilst Los Cristianos tends to cater to a more mature clientele in the winter months, the resident population is quite young. For late night action, the place to visit is CC San Telmo, a long strip of bars and restaurants next to Las Vistas Beach. Early evening is fairly sedate with life focused around the intimate restaurants and ‘chill-out’ terrace bars but things typically liven up after midnight. The strip also has a couple of indoor clubs/discos open until very late.
Los Cristianos has 2 excellent beaches, Las Vistas and the Harbour beach. Las Vistas is by far the more attractive with light coloured sand, turquoise waters, water sports and almost every other amenity.
