The cliffs of Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is located on the west coast of Tenerife and takes its name from the 500-800 meter high cliffs that rise directly next to the town. These steep basalt cliffs tower directly out of the Atlantic Ocean, offering an impressive, monumental sight. Boat trips departing from the small harbor allow you to see the cliffs up close, and dolphins and whales can often be seen in the open water. The town has a quieter, more family-friendly atmosphere, with smaller beaches, restaurants, and bars than the larger resort areas. Los Gigantes is ideal for those looking for spectacular natural surroundings, ocean activities, and peaceful relaxation all in one place.
