Lido Los Gigantes and hot sun for a nice tan for tourists and locals

Lido Los Gigantes is much favored by locals as well as by families with kids when they don't have a pool at home.

Tourists also love it just like they do at Lago Martianez which is the lido of Puerto de la Cruz in a town which is the oldest resort in Tenerife.

Sometimes, it's more practical to go to a lido than to beaches on the island.

Contrary to the lido in 'el Puerto' many villas which are more often for rent than for sale are by the lido of Los Gigantes whereas in the resort town of the Orotava Valley only blocks of flats exist besides

Tenerife business and gastronomy.

Its very nice to walk to Los Gigantes
Lido past many flowering shrubs, palms and other trees.

Some of the villas we pass have high walls, though, where bougainvilleas hang over.

There are villas with pool.

When they don't have one you might find the owners or renters at the lido.

The lido Los Gigantes is a large square saltwater pool which is said to be heated in winter.

This large swimming pool is in a nice place because, one is facing the ocean.

One can also see the giant cliffs and green hills which are beautifully broken up by modern white apartment resorts that blend in well with the countryside.

Otherwise, the lido is actually so close to the ocean that it's too good to be true.

Blue skies, Atlantic, warm sun, salty fresh air and people in holiday mood...

What more does one need to be happy besides natural swimming pools in Los Gigantes?

Well, there are entrance free pools nearby. But, no pool loungers or umbrellas are offered. Also, you will swim with the fish which you can't do at a lido.

Good suntan protection and lotions are advised to be taken.

Think of the kids, especially, and avoid lunch time sun when sun bathing. And, don't make your little ones cry of sun burn...

'After sun care' will help the skin but, it will not take away any burns. It will also not prevent cancer.

Also, please, mind, that all pool loungers might be taken when arriving late at the lido in Los Gigantes.
Many are trying to catch the early morning sun at the lido.

I used to love to stretch out
straight on the pavement by a pool. You could do that at the Lido of Los Gigantes. That way I was forced to jump into the water more often. One gets hot faster lying on stones.

And, I was taking bets that I was tanning in express mode if you know what I mean. But, we only do such nonsense when we are young.
Don�t we?

Today, life is more easy. Today we can get a fast tan in a sun studio without looking at bougainvilleas though, like by the Lido pools Los Gigantes before, going on vacation, already.

This was possible end of last century, but when on holiday in Tenerife then, I never needed this beautiful tan.

However, I could see from my hotel how popular a lido is with many people and I know that one can get a beautiful tan in Lido Los Gigantes in only 2 hours every day.

All you need to do is book more extended Tenerife holidays by the Lido Los Gigantes or come more often. Overseas flights to the island are cheap enough,(often special offers during off seasons for less than GBP 50,--) when you can enjoy tanning and swimming at the lido.

Please, returm from Lido Los Gigantes to Los Gigantes...
