For you, holidays are synonymous with tranquility, fine sand, sun and rest? Then fly to the Canaries! And more precisely, for Chayofa, a small village on the island of Tenerife.
With the mountains of the Teide National Park and the sea as a backdrop, this small village perched at an altitude of 300 metres enjoys a particularly pleasant climate all year round. With its high palm trees, blue sky, white houses and ever beautiful temperatures, Chayofa is a perfect postcard of everything that is best in the Canary Islands... With the particularity of not being located directly by the sea, you avoid the crowd that rushes during the summer to the island's very popular seaside resorts. In a quiet place, between the sea and the mountains, Chayofa is less than 5 minutes by car, taxi or bus from the most beautiful beaches of Tenerife: Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos will allow you to enjoy magnificent beaches of fine sand for long periods of relaxation. Fans of water sports? You are definitely in the right place! The beaches of the Costa Adeje are particularly renowned for their diving spots: in crystal clear waters renowned to be among the most beautiful in the world, equipped with masks and snorkels, you can dive into the heart of the Canary Islands coast to discover all its splendours. You will discover the algae, small coloured fish and rocks that make these seabeds such an extraordinary site. In addition to diving, the waters around Tenerife are ideal for sliding sports: surfing, paddle, flyboard, jet skiing, sea kayaking, water skiing, sailing, wakesurfing, bodyboarding, kneeboarding, kitesurfing, inflatable buoy games, sea excursions... Something to satisfy all your desires!
The surroundings of Chayofa have many parks: with your family, the Jungle Park zoo and the Aqualand of Costa Adeje are good options to delight young and old. Golf aficionados will head to Golf Las Américas, one of the best places in the Canary Islands to perfect their swing in the sun.
As for gastronomy, you will absolutely have to taste the "papas arrugadas", these small "wrinkled" potatoes that are inseparable from the local culture. Served alone, in tapas or with a dish, they are often served with "mojo verde" and "mojo rojo", a delicious spicy sauce to enjoy without moderation. The "ropa vieja", the "punchero canario", the "horse mackerel" with escabeche, the watercress soups or the squid are to be added to the list of salty delicacies to be tasted during a visit to Chayofa. On the terrace? Take the opportunity to order a "barraquito", the local cappuccino: prepared with coffee, milk, sugar, coffee liqueur and orange peel, this very gourmet coffee is one of the most popular drinks served in Tenerife's cafés and restaurants. Finally, to give a little "French" touch to this stay under the Spanish sun, we will gladly rush to "La Estancia", a small French restaurant considered to be one of the best in all of Tenerife.
