Holidays to Puerto de Santiago offer some of Tenerife's finest beaches, exciting boat trips, full-on watersports and the challenge of hiking up the highest mountain in Spain.

A quiet fishing village

Puerto de Santiago sits between Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena on the west coast of Tenerife. The quiet, whitewashed town sits on a rugged hillside that tumbles down to a tiny black sandy beach. It’s very laidback here, with just bars, restaurants and a little fishing museum. And its neighbours are in walking distance, so you get rather a good 3-in-1 deal.

Soft black sands

Puerto de Santiago’s own beach is on the small side, so most people walk 10 minutes to Playa de la Arena. Like all the beaches around here, the shores are made of black volcanic sand. It’s been a Blue Flag holder since 1989 and comes with sunloungers, umbrellas and a couple of beachside restaurants. Or there’s the beach at Los Gigantes, 10 minutes’ drive away. Set under massive towering cliffs, it has a marina, watersports and diving centre. It’s less crowded than Playa de la Arena.

Daytrips to Mount Teide

It’s about an hour’s drive from Puerto de Santiago to Mount Teide, the world’s third highest volcano. Hikers can do the five-hour hike to the fuming sulphurous summit, or there’s a cable car that takes you to the top station, just short of the summit. The bizarre rock formations and far-reaching views of the other Canary Islands make it well worth the journey. Closer to home, Los Gigantes has cave cruises that let you explore the volcanic caves hidden in the crags and folds of its massive cliffs.

WHEN TO GO

Spain has a typically Mediterranean climate. In the Balearic Islands, things start to heat up in May, when you’re looking at highs in the mid-20s. Temperatures reach their peak in July and August, with the mercury topping 30°C. Things are much the same on the mainland, with mild spring and autumn months, and summers that see plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the high 20s. Further south, the Canary Islands enjoy mild, sub-tropical weather. Dubbed the ‘Islands of Eternal Spring’, they rarely see temperatures dip below 20°C in winter and 25°C in summer. The western islands see the most rain, although during the summer it’s only the odd shower here and there.
