Los Abrigos
It was once known as El Abrigo, the overcoat, as it is one of only a few naturally protected harbours in the south of the Island and was the Fishermen’s Overcoat, protecting them from storms. It is reminiscent of an English Fishing village, with a footpath down to the port and the long harbour wall. It is a fully working fishing port, with the fish being available for purchase in a well organised Market located just about the Harbour.
You’ll be impressed with this slice of authentic island life. Los Abrigos has its own volcanic beach, a nice little cove, natural swimming pool a traditional Canarian plaza with a cute little church and a few cafés and shops. Tuesday night is a market night. Sample the goods on offer at Tenerife’s only evening market which starts at 6pm. Anything you might need is to be found in a few Supermarkets placed throughout the village.
