The name of this picturesque little fishing village has an unusual story attached to it. The legend is that a ship wrecked off the coast of the village during the 19th century, allowing a large number of biscuits to wash up on shore afterward. Thusly, the name Las Galletas was granted, with Las Galletas meaning “the biscuits”. Situated on Tenerife’s south coast, Las Galletas has an ambiance of peace, tranquility and serenity inviting visitors, almost daring them, to remain stressed while there. In true
Spanish fashion, Las Galletas lives their lives for tomorrow, meaning, if something needs doing, it can wait till mañana so for so long as you’re there, why not adopt that attitude as well? The town is typical of most Spanish villages in the sense the streets are narrow and criss-cross in an erratic fashion so a map might be necessary however, if you do get lost, note the charming white houses with their unique balconies. Moreover, how wonderful to see the villagers sitting on their porches, watching their children as they play, enjoying life as it comes.
Along the coastline is a promenade parallel to the Atlantic Ocean lined with restaurants, diners, cafés and bars, where one can sit and watch the world go by, without a care. Sardines are a specialty, the wine is local but delicious and nothing seems more relaxing than “…a loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou”. Some fantastic side trips you can take might be the submarine dive tour in the Las Galletas harbor, taking passengers underwater to enjoy the beauty that lies beneath the sea, or maybe you’d love to see the aquatic wildlife and awe inspiring rock formations more closely by booking a scuba diving excursion from the harbor. If you prefer activities that don’t involve water, there are some excellent hiking trails in the area and a world class badminton center, utilizing a world standard Badminton Association of England court.
