Los Abrigos
Food
Los Abrigos is a lovely fishermen town, best known for its seafood. Every night locals and tourists head to panoramic dinner restaurants of Los Abrigos from all over Tenerife. Ask us where!
When you see the tiny fishing boats returning to the port of Los Abrigos (usually early in the morning), you can go to a local fish-shop "Lonja Pesquera" to buy your fresh catch. You might be surprised by your own culinary skills!
Beach
Los Abrigos black sand beach Playa Grande on the west side of the town is a 10-minute walk away. Around the beach you will find beautiful wooden promenades with flowers, pergolas and rest areas ideal for coastal strolling, jogging or cycling to start or end your day.
The locals of small, yet still authentic, Los Abrigos sunbathe and swim in the town's marina, which is protected from the waves.
Culture
Don't miss out the graffiti mural on the marina, portraying the real residents of the town. A movie was made just recently about this artwork and local heroes in it.
Have a look at a recently inaugurated fine sculpture, a tribute to fishermen and their traditions. The man depicted in the sculpture is an old-school boat maker, one of a kind, who still lives in Los Abrigos. You might even meet him on your way!
