Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is a resort town in the Santiago del Teide municipality on the west coast of the Canary Island Tenerife.

Its main feature are the giant rock formations, Acantilados de Los Gigantes, that rise from the sea to a height of 500–800 metres (1,640–2,625 ft) after which the town has been named.

The town has a marina surrounded by concrete walls to dampen the effect of the rough seas around the area.

The village has many small shops and restaurants servicing the tourists that visit the area, especially on the one-way road loop around church and plaza, and also near to the marina and beach.

As can be expected of a town resort, Los Gigantes has only one hotel but many apartments compared to regular residences.
