Things to see and do in El Medano

El Medano is made for chilled out holidays, popular with families and surfers thanks to its array of stunning beaches. Here you’ll find Tenerife’s longest stretch of sand, a Blue Flag beach called Playa el Medano that’s ideal for kids. Playa de la Pelada is a secluded cove, popular with nudists, and Playa Machado and Playa El Cabezo are the top surfing spots on the island. You’ll even find international competitions here, pulling in the crowds.

Have a go at surfing, or try some windsurfing lessons, or simply relax on the sand under the sun. As evening comes, take your pick of any of the tapas spots for drinks and plenty of delicious small plates. In the morning, shop for souvenirs at the local markets, or enjoy a few pastries washed down with coffee at a beachside cafe.

Top attractions

Animal lovers will be in there element here, with lots of interesting places to see. The town itself is bordered on either side by two mountains, Montaña Roja and Montaña Pelada, which offer fantastic hiking trails and panoramic views. For something a little more relaxed, take the kids to Jungle Park, where you can see a range of big animals and try out the rope bridges and rides.

Best restaurants

The best place in town for breakfasts has to be Cafe M, where hungry travellers can feast on a huge plate of eggs, cheeses, fruit and cold meats. If you like your pizza, be sure to try Pizzeria Wairua, a well-reviewed little restaurant with excellent desserts.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
