Food Scene
When Fito took over the family business in 1998, it was a small, rustic restaurant with pure Canarian food. He has transformed it into popular, high-end Canarian dining without compromising on quality whatsoever. Open Tuesday-Sunday for lunch. Friday & Saturday for dinner also.

Bar Avenida is an authentic, Canarian bar that does a basic yet wonderful lunch. Order a 'bocadillo' and a 'papaya-naranja' juice and you'll be sorted! Their 'batido de fresa' is also highly recommended. This place is local hotspot and can get busy (you can't book, it really is ultra-casual) so try your luck!

Top-notch, high-end Japanese food. Wonderful, fresh sushi with stunning setting and views to die for. You will thoroughly relax listening to the sound of the waves and sea breeze, lunching at 88.

Check out the Ritz-Carlton Abama's Beach Club restaurant for a yummy lunch in a picturesque setting. "Beach club" food: salads, some meat dishes, maybe some pasta too. Drive past reception, down the road to the sea and take the long set of cliff steps down to the beach (guests only in the lift I'm afraid). Enjoy a lovely lunch right on Abama's private beach.

Located behind a pharmacy and some travel shops, El Cine is tucked out of sight, yet plenty of people know about it. A wonderfully simple menu, very Spanish: chicken, seafood, chips and Canarian potatoes! Spend the day on one of the Los Cristianos beaches and head to El Cine for lunch. Be warned: it is popular! If you go at Spanish lunchtime (2-4pm) you may have to queue a little.

Sightseeing
Masca village is a picturesque setting, high up in the hills. It is a popular hike to do from the village, down to the sea. Alternatively, if you enjoy long, windy drives you may wish to visit the village for some gorgeous views before driving down again!

Playa de Masca is the bay at the bottom of the Masca hike. It is a gorgeous hike which ends right on the beach, meaning you can have a lovely swim at the end. If hiking isn't your thing though - just get the water taxi from Los Gigantes and spend the day in the bay and on the beach. Beautiful clear waters and some stunning views. Take a picnic - there's nothing there and if you feel like you've had too much sun, just grab one of the regular water taxis heading back to Los Gigantes.

Parks & Nature
The National Park is a must-see. A drive up to Teide, a ride on the cable car, a hike, some regular sightseeing stops, a BBQ in the forest (at a designated BBQ area). All of these are things you can do up in the National Park. It's a great day out and sights are not to be missed. A different one at every altitude! Truly stunning.
