The resort of Los Gigantes, Tenerife is situated on the west coast of the island. Los Gigantes itself has lots to see in way of Tourist Attractions! It is a good base for exploring the island of Tenerife. Close to the Masca Valley, Mount Tiede there is plenty to do and see.
In the evening Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena have an assortment of Bars and restaurants, The restaurant's in Santiagos bajo due to a lot of Canarian's living here are more local cuisine and Tapas! Although you still will find the typical English and Chinese's!! You can make your night out as lively or laid back as you like! Although small there are lots of bars and nightclubs here, but if its serious partying you want then you should pop to Playa de las Americas which is only 20km away!!
