Things to do in El Médano

Wind and kitesurfing

El Médano is the perfect spot for wind and kitesurfers. The peak surfing time is June to September. The three main spots are the bay, the harbour wall and the Cabezo beach.

If you are an intermediate, the South Bay is the best spot. If you are more experienced, make your way to the North Bay for more challenging waves!

There are many aspects of El Médano which make it the ideal surfers' paradise, the top reason being predictable trade winds rather than thermal ones. The climate is temperate with magnificent summer temperatures of 28° C and lows of 19°C in the winter. The resort is perfectly located just ten minutes from Reina Sofia airport in the south of Tenerife.

Hiking and mountain biking

The uncluttered mountain range of Mountain Roja, is perfect for mountain biking and hiking.  Mountain bike hire and trail maps are available in the resort.

Located in the centre of town, Bike Point provides rental of mountain and road bikes. They can also help you organise guided bike tours.
