About Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos grew from a fishing village into a resort town, but it still has a working harbour and a lived-in town centre. The main beach is sheltered, and Playa de las Vistas stretches west towards Playa de las Américas.
It is popular with long-stay winter visitors and older travellers, as the promenade is flat and the shops and cafés are close together. Many guests stay in apartments rather than large resort hotels.
Transfers to the ferry port for La Gomera
Ferries to La Gomera leave from the port of Los Cristianos, so some travellers go straight from the plane to the boat. Tell us your ferry time when booking. The drive is short, but you need time for check-in at the ferry terminal.
If your flight is late and you risk missing the ferry, contact the ferry company about your options. The transfer itself follows your actual arrival time.
Practical tips for the drive
- Short motorway run
- The ride follows the TF-1 west for most of the way and then drops down into town. Expect 16–20 minutes.
- Narrow centre
- The old centre has narrow and one-way streets. If your building cannot be reached by car, the driver stops as close as possible.
- Long-stay luggage
- Staying several weeks? A minivan gives space for extra cases, mobility aids or a folding wheelchair. Mention them when booking.
