Sports

Welcome to Sports paradise! Except for swimming, which is possible even in winter due to the seas constant warm temperature, you can also enjoy the stunning golf-courses, tennis courts, and gyms. The coastline between Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos is perfect for surfing: There is a surfing school where you can also rent equipment.  For those who love walking there are ample route choices; from the well-known La Caleta-Los Cristianos, a 12 km strech along the beach and suitable for all, to more challenging inland routes. The island is volcanic which permits beautiful views of the countryside and of the sea. Lately the environmently concious government is making more and more areas protected, making it possible for you to enjoy Tenerifes nature as it is.The national park of Teide is of a unique beauty and offers walking-paths well known to hikers. Consult the town hall of Adeje and Arona for guided walks. We only suggest cycling to trained cyclists as the island is very hilly. For windsurf lovers, a 15 minute car-ride will take you to El Medano, where the wind blows all year long; it is no coincidence that it is where the world-championships for windsurfing and kitesurfing are held. Surf boards can be rented and you can take windsurfing classes. From Puerto Colon you can go on scubadiving expeditions as well as fishing trips.
