What it's like to live in Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos lies on the southern slope of Tenerife, leeward of the trade winds. The air arrives here after dropping its moisture over the north of the island, and it shows: fewer clouds, less rain and considerably more hours of clear sunshine than on the opposite side, with a drier landscape. The average of 7,5 hours of daily sunshine is a direct consequence of that position, not a quirk of the local microclimate.
Los Cristianos belongs to the municipality of Arona, which has 87.793 residents across its whole area. It's among the most populated municipalities in the Canary Islands, with the full range of services, the widest housing supply in the area, and also the competition and prices that come with that demand.
In the immediate surroundings of Los Cristianos is Montaña Chayofita, La Pescatera - Escultura (2001), Virgen del carmen and Shaka Surf Tenerife, a useful landmark for getting your bearings before visiting the area.
Within walking distance of the area's centre, 10 schools, 10 health centres, 20 pharmacies, 53 supermarkets and 281 restaurants have been found, according to open OpenStreetMap data. This is an indicative and always conservative count: it reflects what's been mapped, which in smaller towns tends to fall short of what's actually there.
Los Cristianos compared with its surroundings
Being right by the sea, salt-spray is high: it's worth having treated woodwork and fittings, and expecting more façade upkeep than further inland.

How to read these figures
Every figure on this page describes what living here is like all year round, not just on holiday. Here is what each one means:
- Sunshine hours
- Average daily sunshine. More sun means more natural light indoors, lower heating bills and better output if you fit solar panels.
- Wind
- The prevailing strength in the area. Light means comfortable terraces and outdoor living all year; strong is excellent for wind sports, but you feel it day to day.
- Salt air
- The influence of the sea. High means more upkeep for façades, windows, railings and vehicles. Low preserves the property better over time.
- Altitude
- The higher you go, the cooler the nights, the drier the air and the less salt. At coastal level temperatures are steadier and milder.
- Fibre optic
- Coverage recorded in the area. Decisive if you work remotely; worth confirming street by street before you sign.
- Reference price
- The official appraised value per m² applied to a reference-sized property. It is a statistical figure for the area so you can compare, NOT the price of any specific property.
