Activities In El Médano you will never be short of sporting activities especially if you enjoy getting wet! There is no need to hire a car when you stay in El Médano because all of Tenerife’s best sporting activities take place around this Spanish town. Tenerife is also a paradise for rock climbing. Not only is the climate perfect for climbing all year round, but there is also a lot of variety. El Médano is located only 15 minutes from the best climbing areas of Tenerife, in Arico. There are around 15 areas to choose from, with an enormous amount of routes. We work with the only company on the island with certified teachers, who have been running their school for 8 years now, Tenerife Climbing House. If you already have climbing experience, there are also advanced courses for example trad climbing, psychological aspects of climbing (coping with your fears), crack climbing techniques etc. We have a wide range of packages to meet all your needs including accommodation. We need a minimum of two students for each course so please email us and check availability. El Médano is filled with trendy bars who organise concerts with local artists where you are guaranteed to have a good night out. Chiringstones: Just across the square, Chirinstones has gigs almost every night of the week. Veinte 04: This bar in the main square is always great for a watermelon mojito on it’s quirky terrace. Manfreds: The best place in town for the sunset where the barraquitos are top notch and the beers are served with popcorn 🙂 Goiter: If salsa is your thing, don’t miss a night out in Goiter to show off your moves. In the summer, the town really comes alive with the Northern Tenerifians coming down to spend their holidays in town and there are fiestas organised by the local council almost every night of the week with cinema in the square, dancing and live music. Sports Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Surfing and SUP El Médano is a cool surfers’ town, famous for it’s excellent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing. To show you how good the conditions are, the PWA Windsurfing Championships come to town every year in the summer for the world championships. On calm days, surfing, SUP (Stand Up Paddle) or kayaking are fun alternatives. We collaborate with all the best local businesses in town for kit hire and courses so please let us know if you are interested and we’ll get you a great deal. Hiking and Cycling El Médano sits in the bay of the stunning Montaña Roja Nature Reserve. With numerous trails around the reserve and beautiful views from the top of the mountain, this is the perfect way to spend the day. Bla! organises walks up the mountain with native Spanish speakers so that our students can get some exercise whilst learning Spanish along the way. We can also arrange trips and hikes up in the National Park of Mount Teide (the highest mountain in Spain) where you will never get bored of all the incredible paths. We work with Sport Center El Médano to offer discounts on bike hire. You can hire a bike for only 50€ the week to get you around town and ride along the coast. Scuba Diving The school is next door to the wonderful George at El Médano Dive who won’t just take you around the island for the best dives, he’ll also give you a great laugh! From ship wrecks to sea turtles, the waters around the island won’t disappoint. |
