The resort of Puerto de Santiago has developed from a small fishing village into a bustling resort on the west coast of Tenerife. With the southern resort of Playa la Arena, Puerto Santiago is part of the area known by many as Los Gigantes, as these three towns’ boarders seem to have merged. Puerto de Santiago is more traditional than the other two resorts and smaller. Playa la Arena is only about five minutes away (500m) which is where many head to from Puerto de Santiago for its Blue Flag beach, beach facilities and activities.
