Boca Cangrejo (or Bocacangrejo) is a small and picturesque village in the municipality of El Rosario, located on the northeast coast of Tenerife, a few kilometers south of Santa Cruz. It is known for its unique coastal charm and its recent fame, driven by a popular artistic movement.
It is nestled in a narrow strip between ravines and rock formations, giving it the air of a coastal refuge. It is located at a very low altitude (about 10 meters above sea level) and is characterized by its steep, narrow streets, often with stairs, lined with white houses that cling to the hillside. Many of these offer direct views of the Atlantic. The town has small coves or beaches of black sand and pebbles, with a wilder and less crowded atmosphere than the beaches in the south.
In recent years, the village gained enormous popularity on social media (Instagram, TikTok) by becoming known as "The Village of Hearts." This decoration arose from the initiative of a resident, who began painting colorful hearts on the pavement, railings, and walls of the promenade and stairs. The tourist overcrowding led the community to make the decision to erase a large part of the hearts. Currently, the village is recovering its traditional white and gray colors, seeking to re-establish the peace of yesteryear.
In summary, Boca Cangrejo is a picturesque coastal town with history, famous for its brief but intense period as a viral social media destination, and which is now striving to maintain its authentic and tranquil seafaring refuge charm.
Chayofa is a locality in the municipality of Arona, in the south of Tenerife, primarily known for being a quiet, high-standard residential area, which contrasts with the hustle and bustle of the nearby tourist centers.
Due to its slightly elevated position, most homes enjoy spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, the island of La Gomera, and often El Teide. And although it is a tranquil place, it is very close by car to key centers such as Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, only about 6-8 minutes away. Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is only about 10-15 minutes away.
Villas, detached houses, and upper-middle-class apartments dominate, many of them with their own garden and private pool. It is a favorite location for permanent residents, including many retirees of British and Northern European origin.
In summary, Chayofa is described as a high-quality residential enclave in the south of Tenerife. It offers tranquility, an excellent climate all year round, and magnificent views, ideal for those looking to live or vacation in a luxurious and serene environment, yet only a stone's throw from the vibrant leisure areas and beaches on the coast.
Los Cristianos is one of Tenerife's most popular holiday destinations, known for its charming harbor, golden sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere. The town, once a small fishing village, has grown into a vibrant tourist area but has managed to retain its genuine Canarian feel.
Here you will find Playa de Los Cristianos, a sheltered beach with calm waters, perfect for families with children and those who want to enjoy a relaxing day by the sea. Right next door is Playa de las Vistas, a wide and well-maintained beach with plenty of sun loungers, restaurants and beach bars. Los Cristianos also has a vibrant center with cozy squares, shops and a variety of restaurants serving everything from traditional Canarian food to international dishes. The town is also an excellent starting point for boat trips – from here you can go on dolphin and whale safaris or take the ferry to La Gomera.
For those seeking a relaxing holiday with proximity to both city life and the beach, Los Cristianos is an excellent choice.
Discover Palm-Mar, the best-kept secret on the south coast of Tenerife. Located in the municipality of Arona, this exclusive residential and tourist area redefines the concept of modern coastal living.

Here, large hotels give way to sophisticated apartment complexes and homes, reflecting a development that has prioritized quality of life since 2000.
A Naturally Exclusive Setting
Privileged Location: Situated at the foot of Los Mogotes and embraced by the sea and the mountains, its enclave gives it a select and isolated feel, even while being just minutes away from Los Cristianos.
Ecological Treasure: Part of its territory is the Malpaís de La Rasca Special Nature Reserve, an ecological treasure. Enjoy hiking, jogging, or cycling with the Canarian flora as your backdrop, giving you a pure connection to your surroundings.
Beach and Amenities
Palm-Mar also gifts you with a natural beach of black volcanic sand and pebbles, famous for its relaxed atmosphere. The touch of magic? A charming chiringuito (beach bar) on the promenade where you can rent sunbeds or Balinese beds while sipping a cocktail and watching a fantastic sunset over the Atlantic.
In summary, if your search is for a residence or a holiday that combines tranquility, modernity, good climate, and proximity to nature, without sacrificing amenities, Palm-Mar is your premium destination in Tenerife.
Playa de las Américas is Tenerife's most vibrant and modern resort, known for its long sandy beaches, upscale hotels and a vibrant nightlife. The resort was built to be a holiday paradise and offers everything from luxurious shopping malls to water activities and gourmet restaurants.

In the evenings, the city comes to life with bars, clubs and casinos.
