The magic of a hotel in Santiago del Teide

The Tenerife municipality of Santiago del Teide has some very special characteristics, combining the maritime area of Los Gigantes or Puerto de Santiago, with much more rural and green areas such as Arguayo or Las Manchas. A municipality with different entities, a great history and unequalled natural attractions. Agriculture and tourism blend in its landscapes to give life to this beautiful corner of Tenerife. Finding a hotel in Santiago del Teide that will make your trip an unforgettable memory is a determining factor in your experience.

 

The town, known until 27 June 1916 as Valle de Santiago, consists of 9 singular entities; Acantilados de Los Gigantes, Arguayo, Las Manchas, El Molledo, Puerto de Santiago, El Retamar, Santiago del Teide (municipal capital), Tamaimo and Valle de Arriba. The number of inhabitants slightly exceeds 10,000 and the surface area of the municipality is 52.21 km2. The town covers the protected areas of the Teno Rural Park, the Chinyero Special Nature Reserve, the Corona Forestal Nature Reserve, the Teide National Park and the Teide Natural Monument, all included in the Canary Islands Network of Protected Natural Spaces.

 

This is a brief summary of the idiosyncrasy of the municipality, so that you come prepared and eager to enjoy a hotel in Santiago del Teide that satisfies all your whims. Let's now move on to the key points you should know about during your visit to this area of the Canary Islands.

 

 

 

The main visual attraction of this town are the Los Gigantes Cliffs, without a doubt a tourist landmark on the island of Tenerife due to their spectacular nature. These volcanic formations were known by the Guanches as the "Wall of Hell" and they are 600 metres high. In addition, these cliffs hide another secret, a spectacular seabed where you can spot cetaceans and underwater landscapes that are unique in the world.

 

La Playa de los Guíos is closely related to our previous point, as it is the best place to calmly observe the majesty of the cliffs. The beach has dark sand and is one of the 13 blue flag beaches in Tenerife, with accesses and leisure areas nearby. A perfect spot to enjoy the ocean.

 

El Mirador de Archipenque is a fantastic vantage point from which to observe all the beauty of the surroundings. An area with a shop and cafeteria where you can have a drink with unbeatable views of the cliffs. Los Gigantes at your feet.

 

 

La iglesia de San Fernando Rey reflects the history of the municipality. Located in the capital, the first chapel dates back to 1520, shortly after the conquest of this territory. The current version was built in 1679. In its simplicity and humility it is well worth seeing. A bit of history of our surroundings.

 

El Mirador de Cherfe offers a complete panoramic view of our surroundings. El Teide, the Chinyero volcano, Valle Santiago, the Teno Mountains, El Caserío de Masca or the islands of La Palma and La Gomera can be seen from this magical place. Nature and green spaces can be explored on various trails in the area.
