Poblado Marinero
In the southwest of the island of Tenerife is a small fishing village known as Los Gigantes, named after its marvellous geographic-volcanic feature: the Cliff of the Giants.
Opposite the port is a charming complex of flats in Canarian architecture known as Poblado Marinero.
In this article, you will learn a little more about Poblado Marinero, where it is located and what activities you can do while you enjoy a stay here.
Poblado Marinero, a reflection of the architecture of the Canary Islands
The typical architecture of the Canary Islands stands out for its simplicity.
The houses that follow this style are characterised by a strong presence of Canary Island pine wood, spacious interior courtyards and a socio-cultural mix from the contributions of foreign and national societies such as the Portuguese, English, Genoese, Andalusian, Galician, Flemish, etc.
Poblado Marinero is an apartment complex that perfectly represents this traditional Canarian architecture.
They are flats where the predominant colour is white, their balconies and windows have been built with Canarian pine wood and are organised around a large interior courtyard garden.
The flats offer one to two bedrooms, making them ideal for holidays with family, friends or couples, as they are also suitable for groups of up to 5 people.
We recommend that you book those with sea views, so that you can admire the wonderful scenery of the cliffs .
An apartment complex surrounded by nature
Poblado Marinero is located in the marina of the village of Los Gigantes, on the coast of the municipality of Santiago del Teide, on the island of Tenerife.
Los Gigantes belongs to the Teno Nature Reserve, a natural area with a great scenic interest in terms of beaches, mountains and history. With a great variety of ecosystems and biodiversity, both animal and plant.
One of the most famous tourist attractions of Los Gigantes are the cliffs, which the Guanches (ancient inhabitants of Tenerife) called "Muralla del Diablo" or " Muro del Infierno".
This geological-volcanic feature is a 600-metre-high basaltic wall that buries itself in the sea at a depth of about 30 metres.
You can see them from Poblado Marinero, which stretches from Puerto de Los Gigantes to Punta Teno.
