El Medano holidays:
On the southwestern coastline of Tenerife, a mere 7 km from the Reina Sofia South Airport, El Medano is a charming little community that will help with easing the tensions that come with busy day-to-day life.

El Medano is best known for its windsurfing and surfing, offering waves aplenty and excitement galore making it a perfect destination for beach holidays. With several surfing schools in the village, novices as well as more experience surfers can enjoy the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, popular enough to have hosted more than a few World Championship Windsurfing competitions. Being situated in the “middle of nowhere”, El Medano might seem like a sleepy little town when in fact the opposite is true. The beachfront is lined with restaurants and pubs, complete with sidewalk tables, awaiting visitor’s orders so they might take the afternoon to sip a glass of wine while watching surfers and windsurfers as they enjoy the brilliance of the ocean. Along these same lines, a sport that is gaining in popularity there, due to the prevailing winds present on the coast is parasailing. Imagine the exhilaration of being tethered to a speedboat as it drags you behind, feeling the wind in your face, the world beneath your feet.

As it is directly on the ocean, visitors wishing to see the splendor beneath the ocean’s surface are able to dive along the coast with or without an underwater camera. For novices, there are a number of locations that will train under the guidelines of PADI and SSI. In addition, for the more experienced they also offer a variety of dives to suit, such as night dives, wreck visits and naturalist dives. El Medano has a variety of things to see and do, particularly if you have a penchant for water sports, though the serenity of the town also lends itself to enjoying a quiet afternoon at a sidewalk café enjoying a sip of a local vintage of wine or beer.
