On the south coast of the islands below a range of steep hills you will find Puerto Del Carmen the islands major resort. The main feature and why the area is so popular may have something to do with a spectacular two mile (3km) of golden beach backed by a main road.

It is alongside the beach that you will find the promenade of Avenida De Las Playas or more commonly known as ‘The Strip’ walking along here you will find electrical stores, duty-free and tourist stalls, don’t miss all of the fabulous boutiques and clothes shops in the Old Town.
