El Médano is not a tourist centre as such. Here you find a lot of individual tourists, but no mass tourism. And whoever can afford it, buys himself a second home from the local people in El Médano. That is why the tourist stays almost unnoticed among the locals. The favourite spots are the bars on the Plaza. El Médano also offers a variety of good and even high quality restaurants.

About 2 km north-east of the centre, close to the bay "Ensenada Pelada" mentioned above, a villa was contructed 5 years ago on a plot of land with an extention of about 1.500 m². Next to the owner's apartment, another large apartment and a studio were built. Compared to most houses on the island, this house is a positive change as far as the architecture is concerned. In and outside the house, the use of natural stones and noble wood transmits a special cosy living atmosphere. This sure is a place where you feel at home right from the start to enjoy your holiday in a relaxed way.

On the sunny terrace you find tables, chairs and sun beds. At one end of the garden there is a sitting area resembling a ship's bow, from where you have a wonderful sea view. This spot is very popular in the mornings e.g. to have your breakfast while enjoying the sea. Besides, in the lower part of the house a natural cave was transformed into a bodega (wine cellar), here you can enjoy the evenings with a glass of good wine. You can hear the waves here, because the house is situated only 100 m away from the shore. The small natural sandy beach is ideal for small children, because the water is very shallow and there is no current. Here bathing with the kids is fun for everyone. The superb location of this holiday spot gives you a free, unconstructed view over the sea and the mountains. If you walk to the small beach you need about 2 minutes. The restaurants and supermarkets are only at 2 minutes distance by car.

The popular farmer's market in San Isidro is at about 5 km and you can go there every Saturday and Sunday morning from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. This is where the products of the farmers are always offered fresh and for a good price: fruit and vegetables, cheese, wine, cakes and sweets and lots more. The tourist centres of "Los Cristianos" and "Playa de las Americas are about 20 minutes away by car, the airport (15 km) around 15 minutes. Renting a car is advisable. Towels, bath-towels, tea towels and bed clothes are at hand.

The studio disposes of a living space of approx. 30 m². There is a small terrace as well with a garden of about 15 m². The living space is divided in a large living/ bedroom with a modern fitted kitchen, a dining space and a bathroom. Just the look into the living room is enough to be conviced that this studio was decorated considering every detail and at great expense. There is a SAT-TV. The kitchen disposes of a refrigerator-freezer combination, a toaster, a coffee machine, an electric cooker with 2 plates, juicer, water cooker, micro wave and other important kitchen utensils. The bed is 180 x 190 cm, so the studio is fitted for up to 2 persons. The terrace is wind protected and has a table, chairs and sun beds.
