Hi guys … Today’s schedule takes us to Los Cristianos. So let’s start with some basic info about this charming place. It’s only about 5 km away from Palm Mar where we are situated, and is the first neighbor of more popular destination Playa de las Americas. The town center is around the Los Cristianos bay, but is rapidly expanding inland with modern development. The town is a popular tourist resort and includes a ferry port. This town has a history that predates the tourist boom of the 1970s and 1980s. For many years this holiday hub was a quiet fishing village and evidence of its humble origins can still be seen in the typical Canarian architecture of the older buildings. So first thing to do in the morning was to go look around the harbor and to see what’s left of that famous fishing history. I have to say that we weren’t disappointed … Just imagine a two-year-old seeing all that live fish and boats … 🙂 … Now he could move here permanently ( guess he has my gene 😉 )

Hey ekipica … Današnji raspored nas vodi u Los Cristianos. Pa po dobrom starom običaju krećemo sa nekoliko osnovnih informacija o ovom simpatičnom mjestašcu. Los Cristianos je svega nekih 5 kilometara udaljen od Palm Mara u kojem smo smješteni i prvi je susjed turistima mnogo poznatijoj Playa de las Americas. Centar grada smješten je uz zaljev ali se i velikom brzinom širi zbog gradnje turističkih kompleksa. Grad je poznato turističko odredište sa trajektnom lukom. Ovaj grad za razliku od Playa de las Americas ima svoju povijest i prije velikog turističkog booma koji se dogodio 1970-ih i 1980-ih godina. Dugo godina ovaj turistički slatkiš bio je mirno i tiho ribarsko selo a dokaz skromne povijesti se i dalje vidi u arhitekturi starijih građevina u gradu. I tako smo mi jutro odlučili iskoristiti za obilazak gradske luke i vidjeti što je ostalo od slavne ribarske povijesti. Samo ću reći da nikako nismo bili razočarani … Zamislite dvogodišnjaka među svim tim brodovima i živom ribom … 🙂 … Sad bi i on htio ovdje trajno preseliti ( očigledno ima i mojih gena 😉 )

Right next to the harbor there’s a main promenade of Los Cristianos with the main city beach also Los Cristianos. The sun is pretty high, it’s pretty hot outside ( the weather is much nicer then on the northern part of the island) … need I say more ? … a man has got to do what he has got to do … beach time it is … and let the games begin …

Odmah pokraj luke nalazi se glavna gradska šetnjica skupa sa glavnom gradskom plažom Los Cristianos. Sunce je poprilično visoko, vani je poprilično hot … plaža je pokraj nas … i kaj da vam velim … kaj se mora nije teško … plaža time … i neka igre počnu …

Ok we’ve spent the day on the beach … quick stop at the apartment to take a shower, and of to explore the town a bit more … our little boss still manages everything without daily naps … woohoo … 🙂

//

Ok dan proveden na plaži … brzinski hop hop do apartmana zbog tuširanja, i krećemo nazad kako bismo još malo istražili grad … malac i dalje uspijeva sve izdržati bez popodnevnog spavanca … juuupiii … 🙂

After a nice meal ( which was more standard than traditional today) we can conclude that Los Cristianos is a pretty friendly and nice place that I would recommend to everybody with kids …

//

Poslije fine večerice ( koja je danas bila više standardna nego tradicionalna) možemo zaključiti da je Los Cristianos slatko i simpatično mjesto koje bi svakako preporučila svima sa klincima …

Stay tuned …Playa de las Americas coming up … :*
