Our dedicated and professional approach to our work has earned us a strong and highly regarded reputation for being the best for Los Cristianos property.


Los Cristianos is an ideal location for property investment or for finding that home in the sun. Situated just 15 km's west of Tenerife’s south airport, Reina SofĂ­a, ensures a transfer trip of less than 30 minutes, making it an ideal spot for tourism and with its beautiful promenade full of restaurants, shops and bars it is easily one of the most popular resorts on the Island. Los Cristianos began as a local, quaint little fishing port with a few houses and a few bars. Twenty five years ago when the tourists started coming to Tenerife and Los Cristianos, Las Americas was built to accommodate them and soon Los Cristianos joined in the tourist boom.


However, Los Cristianos is a far more sophisticated resort to Las Americas.
There is a beautiful catholic church and many buildings in the area have managed to maintain their original typical Canarian architecture. By the Los Cristianos harbour, the old town is still present and although this has now become a major port with large cruisers, yachts and the Fred Olsen ferry and hydrofoil travelling daily to the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, the small fishing boats and trawlers can still be found here too.


Los Cristianos offers two long artificial beaches. Both are clean and very well kept and because they are manmade the sand is not as dark as can be found on other beaches


The beachfront here offers a wide range of bars, restaurants and cuisine along the promonade, not just British, but also plenty of traditional Spanish bars offering locally caught fresh fish, Tenerife specialities and Spanish tapas and the bars offer a variety of salsa, jazz, live bands and cover bands. The promenade itself is beautifully maintained and runs uninterrupted right along the coastline from one end of Los Cristianos to the furthest tip of Las Americas taking around two hours to walk.


Off from Los Cristianos’ town centre and stretching down to the port is the totally pedestrianised Avenida de Suecia, a labyrinth of streets and alleyways that is a shopaholics paradise. Clothes, food, jewellery, makeup, sports equipment, you name it, somewhere they will have it.
Los Cristianos is a small fishing village around which tourism has inevitably grown, but which has managed to preserve its own flavour and charm and Tate Properties is proud to be able to offer the prospective buyer a complete service from start to finish when purchasing Los Cristianos property.
