Los Abrigos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Los Abrigos is a small fishing village in Granadilla de Abona, Tenerife.

The pretty harbour is still a working fishing port, during the day it is a quiet and tranquil place to let time pass but it is at night that the work is done. At about midnight each day the boats return to clean and process the catch. It is quickly packed in ice and loaded into the waiting lorries to be shipped to the fish markets in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Being close to tourist centres of Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf, it is a favourite place to go and eat fish both for tourists and locals alike. There is a night market on a Tuesday where you can buy anything from souvenirs to clothing.

The village, like many coastal villages in Tenerife, is growing very quickly. In 5 years it has nearly doubled in size.
