Los Gigantes lies on the west coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Islas Canarias. Los Gigantes is in the municipality of Santiago del Teide. Its main feature are the giant rock formations, Acantilados de Los Gigantes, that rise from the sea to a height of 500-800 metres, 1,640–2,625 feet after which the town has been named. Los Gigantes means "The Giants". The cliffs at Los Gigantes, Acantilados de Los Gigantes in Spanish, are one of the island's major tourist attractions. Nearby to the south are the resorts of Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena. The village of Masca lies 3 km to the north of Los Gigantes. The town has a marina which is completely surrounded by concrete walls to dampen the effect of the rough seas around the area. A small black sand beach lies between the rocks and the marina. Close to the harbour is a lido. |
