Once a small Canarian village, El Medano, “The Sand Dune” in Spanish, has now grown into a thriving seaside holiday resort. This ever-growing town can be found only a few kilometres from the airport and the resort of Golf del Sur. El Medano borders the largest natural beaches of Tenerife; the Playa Grande and the Playa Tejita. Between the beaches is La Montaña Roja ("The Red Mountain"), a volcanic cone that is a protected natural reserve.
Famous for its windsurfing, kite boarding and other numerous water sports, El Medano has over the last ten years or so had a total facelift and has benefitted from a huge development in its infrastructure.
