In the southwest of the island of Tenerife is a small fishing village known as Los Gigantes, named after its marvellous geographic-volcanic feature: the Cliff of the Giants.
Opposite the port is a charming complex of flats in Canarian architecture known as Poblado Marinero.
In this article, you will learn a little more about Poblado Marinero, where it is located and what activities you can do while you enjoy a stay here.
The typical architecture of the Canary Islands stands out for its simplicity.
The houses that follow this style are characterised by a strong presence of Canary Island pine wood, spacious interior courtyards and a socio-cultural mix from the contributions of foreign and national societies such as the Portuguese, English, Genoese, Andalusian, Galician, Flemish, etc.
Poblado Marinero is an apartment complex that perfectly represents this traditional Canarian architecture.
They are flats where the predominant colour is white, their balconies and windows have been built with Canarian pine wood and are organised around a large interior courtyard garden.
The flats offer one to two bedrooms, making them ideal for holidays with family, friends or couples, as they are also suitable for groups of up to 5 people.
We recommend that you book those with sea views, so that you can admire the wonderful scenery of the cliffs .
Poblado Marinero is located in the marina of the village of Los Gigantes, on the coast of the municipality of Santiago del Teide, on the island of Tenerife.
Los Gigantes belongs to the Teno Nature Reserve, a natural area with a great scenic interest in terms of beaches, mountains and history. With a great variety of ecosystems and biodiversity, both animal and plant.
One of the most famous tourist attractions of Los Gigantes are the cliffs, which the Guanches (ancient inhabitants of Tenerife) called "Muralla del Diablo" or " Muro del Infierno".
This geological-volcanic feature is a 600-metre-high basaltic wall that buries itself in the sea at a depth of about 30 metres.
You can see them from Poblado Marinero, which stretches from Puerto de Los Gigantes to Punta Teno.
Poblado Marinero is strategically located in Puerto de Los Gigantes, surrounded by establishments that offer a multitude of activities to do both at sea and in nature.
On the one hand, considering the riches found in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, there is the opportunity to enjoy various activities both in and out of the sea.
Some of the most popular activities are whale watching, kayaking, diving, fishing and water skiing.
On the other hand, as mentioned above, Poblado Marinero is located in the nature reserve of Teno, and thanks to this it offers a multitude of hiking activities that will make you connect with nature and with which you can enjoy the beauty found at the top of Los Acantilados de los Gigantes.
However, if you are looking for an activity connected with relaxation, a good option may be to enjoy a day of sun and rest.
Five minutes away from Poblado Marinero we find Los Guíos Beach, a characteristic beach of volcanic soil, formed by brown sand and quiet.
As you can see, Poblado Marinero is much more than just an apartment complex where you can stay during your summer holidays.
If you are looking for authentic experiences and to be in contact with the natural environment surrounding the small village of Los Gigantes, this should be your next destination.
