Playa De Las Americas in the south coast of Tenerife

Author: Andrew Hammersley

First, a word of warning! If you seek peace, Las Americas can not be your best choice for a holiday. This is the kind of place where, to get home again, you may need a vacation just to recover! The main resort in the south of Tenerife is certified crazy, mad as a March hare and waiting to pounce on unwary tourists! Anything you want (if you know you like it or not!), Las Americas provides everyone with a beaming smile and a glass of drink favorite!

Playa de Las Americas and ranks favorably compares equally with the many European sun, sand and sea "destination. However, thirty years ago, was totally a different story. There were only a few hotels spread across a wide range developed using imported sand from the Sahara. The mood of the Americas we see today is only a gleam in the eyes of an investor, while the satellite areas of San Eugenio, Torviscas and Fanabe, and most recently in Costa Adeje, now animation mini-stations on their own, then simply extended barren volcanic desert. Today Americas contains a large number of hotels and resorts apartment, old and new for all tastes and budgets. And yet, in terms of planners and builders to build.

The location of Playa de Las Americas is more than its weather. Located in the southern west coast (or the western end of the south coast if you wish), where the weather is probably the best on the island. And thanks to a certain area of land development can now offer some of the finest beaches in Tenerife, which meets all cleaning standards of the European Commission. The water beaches of Las Americas, "is warm, quiet and safety in general, with breakwaters built to ensure safety in all conditions, but most adverse weather conditions which, fortunately, are rare (not swim when a red flag on the beach).

Las Americas is a jungle of hotels and leisure facilities. As a strictly tourist town built from scratch over the past thirty years, did not find many Spanish culture or history of the Canary Islands Las Americas. Not that the city contains allusions so first. This is a pure tourist paradise and simple, without pretensions to be anything else. It focuses on fun, fun, fun in the end. What is wrong with that? Nothing, judging by the flow of tourists arriving every day of the year, many of whom return time after so long.

"So what are all these facilities tour, then? I hear you ask. In addition to the traditional sun, sand and sea, which I mentioned, Las Americas has a variety of entertainment day, evening and night. Since we are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, water-based activities are not surprisingly high on the agenda. Las Americas is home to the famous Octopus Water Park where you can find, including the famous slide "Kamikaze" water (he survived!) And a dolphin, of recent construction. Want to say hello their friends while hanging from a parachute pulled by a boat? Do not worry - you are so high that her classmates can not see the fear that you are! Or Dude Once you like yourself how to sail a sun tan,''an intrepid jetskies waves on the sea, an old "watchdog" the greatest landing shark from "Jaws", or frankly, looking a little silly to drop a huge floating banana. If you prefer not to get wet there are many other activities to delight you, including mini-golf, tennis and 10-pin bowling, visit the newborn monkeys in the zoo, near the shooting zombies or sick in the head with a gun (my son is a Favorite arcade game - bless him!). Now is also a big balloon that takes in the air and gives an aerial view of property, tons of things really.

Good news for golfers, there is a new golf course opened between Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos neighbor. Not only the 18-hole, par 62 course called "Golf The Americas "improve the appearance of the area - is to turn the place between two cities attractive desert into an oasis of green - but developers and the Municipal Tourism Council also hope that this new facility will bring more "quality tourists" to the territory (which will be those with a lot of money then!). The development also includes luxury hotel and apartment complexes currently under construction and will attract thousands of new beds for visitors to the region.

Another part of the Americas, which is particularly worth a visit to Port Columbus and Port Columbus. In the Americas has never had a port functional (the city was built on a barren and deserted stretch), boating marina of Puerto Colon is a modern port built for this purpose. Located between the beaches of Las Americas' many fine, the port is an attractive place where you can stroll through the shops, then enjoy a meal or a drink while enjoying sight on the beach or on yachts moored in the marina itself. It is also the main objective of the city by boat / yacht excursions and fishing trips.

Remember Tenerife is also a small island attractions in other cities are not so far. You can easily find many different trips to join ao if you wish, you can rent a car if you want to do it yourself ". On the subject of cars, the system of the Americas" way is nothing if not chaotic, so if you drive here and be careful to check the traffic signs and observe the stop signs and traffic priorities, which are not always what expected. And if you are a pedestrian - Out of my way! Seriously, you must be very careful because cars often travel faster than the speed limit and generally no longer "crosswalks." Parking can also be a nightmare in some areas. Please, please do not let the above dissuade coming here in the least, we believe that as a tourist-guide type of thing, we draw your attention to the subtleties of road etiquette here, and these things always sound much worse when you read when you actually come here and see for yourself! Unless you get hit by a bus, of course.

When I've had enough fun in the water or go ashore for a hearty meal or quench their thirst in one of the many bars that line the streets. Many bars offer traditional "games of pub, such as pool tables and darts, while others show movies in May during the repetitions of the favorite old comedy, and live sports satellite TV during the day. In restaurants, you'll find quality food at attractive prices, ranging from food staple for many tourists British - the "traditional English breakfast (served morning, noon or night if you like) - a table with first class international cuisine: Spanish, Canary Islands, Indian, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, French, Swiss, Lebanon, Thailand - honestly that much choice.

By nightfall, that has shaken the sand in your underwear and you're ready for a night on the town. What to do? There is no shortage of pubs and bars to suit all tastes and ages. Some relatives are oriented, others are not really suitable for children. Some among them Spanish and German, focused entirely on his countrymen, but mostly it seems, are adapted to the British (or at least English-speaking) tourists. Many bars offer a cabaret, in one form or another, to distract you while you relax. You can see one of Elvis Presley to Elton John (no, not relaxed and friendly, while bars where the head of the "young, free and single" can have a DJ spinning, jokes, swearing profusely and generally keep the game ticking over until it's time to stagger outside, trying to remember the name of your hotel. Or at least what country him in

Las Americas has a very liberal regulation, open hours - basically: open when you want, stop when you want! So many bars are open till 3 in the afternoon and even this is not necessarily the end of the night, if you are young, brave and fashion "holiday". Nighttime is when the Central Coast areas called "The Veronicas' and 'Patch' to life. The patch is a very small area packed with bars and restaurants. Usually, youth caught going back and forth in the early morning hours. A five minute walk on the road is the alcohol as fuel, often surreal (ask my Rob mate, but that's another story!), The nocturnal world of Veronicas. Here you will find many bars, burger joints, clubs remaining open until six in the morning to play the latest dance hits. And occasionally some real music! You are not addressed by five a PR trying to drag you into this place or that place, or someone trying to sell merchandise or other. Definitely not a family, but very very popular among young people.

There are also performances, you can go in the area, usually to book in advance and others will get a full meal is included in the ticket price. It shows how the medieval night (gentlemen, knights, sword fighting, etc), ballet and Spanish flamenco extravagant, elegant soul and Motown night with a great American singers, are among the attractions available. If money is burning a hole in your pocket, there are two casinos where you can have a flutter. There are also "adult shows' where you can … er, that is a family to use website for your imagination!
