Playa De La Arena holidays:
Located on the western shore of Tenerife, resplendent with a wall of cliffs, tropical flora and fauna abounding and dig your toes in the sand beaches, Playa de la Arena offers this and more. When planning cheap holidays in Tenerife, choosing Playa de la Arena is certain to delight and having you wishing you could never leave!

Though the beach in Playa de la Arena (meaning Sandy Beach) is black, it has received the European Blue Flag, an eco-label award given to spectacular beaches each year by the Foundation for Environmental Education, several years in a row. The beach in Playa de la Arena is a completely natural beach and it is one of the more beautiful on the island. Across the road from the beach is a long row of hotels, shops, restaurants and cafés from which to choose should you become hungry, thirsty or in the mood to shop for souvenirs or necessities. The village’s proximity to larger, more energetic towns doesn’t detract from the serenity and peacefulness of La Arena. For travelers seeking a more sedate holiday, but still wanting the option of a lively night on the town, Playa Los Gigantes is a short taxi ride away with all it has to offer. However, if all you need to formulate the perfect holiday is a beach, a warm sun and the peace and quiet of a small town, then the Playa de la Arena is the perfect choice when planning cheap holidays in Tenerife.

To be fair, if visitors are interested in sight-seeing, Playa de la Arena doesn’t have much in the way to entertain, requiring a short taxi or bus ride to a neighboring town. However, relaxation is the order of the day in this charming little village, with a number of cheap hotels and inns offering a variety of holiday packages designed to make your stay one of the more memorable times in your life. However, like most of the fishing villages that dot the Tenerife coastline, much of the village’s local activity takes place at the marina, where commercial fishing is still a primary source of income for many of the residents. Once a week on Wednesdays, Playa San Juan hosts a farmer’s market for people to sell their wares. The markets are a product of the Tenerife government, set up to give local entrepreneurs a place to sell their products at a fair, but less the retail, price. These markets tend to be more intimate, less “touristy” and are a slice of Canarian life that mustn’t be missed.

Seeking cheap holidays in Tenerife? Why not spend a cheap holiday in Playa de la Arena? It’s certain to be the holiday of a lifetime, one you’ll want to do again and again.
