Los Cristianos - Provisions & Laundry
There is a coin-operated laundromat near the Venezuela supermarket on the road out of town towards Playa de las Americas, open 0800-1600 Monday to Friday and 0900-1300 Saturdays. The laundry Lavanderia Los Cristianos is in Calle Barranquilla 11, close to the church. Open 0600-1500 Monday to Friday.
There is good shopping with several small supermarkets in town. The Cofradia will recommend the best supermarket, as they appear to change frequently. There are a lot of shops of every description in the pedestrian precinct, Calle General Franco. There is no fresh produce market in town, but all the supermarkets stock fruit and vegetables. In the mornings there are stalls selling fresh fish by the boatyard (next to the beach). Yachts provisioning in larger quantities for the Atlantic crossing may find it worthwhile to make the trip to Kasur, cash and carry warehouse on the outskirts of town which is the largest supermarket and reputedly best for value (open 0900-1300, 1600-1900, Monday to Saturday).

Things may have changed once again in Los Cristianos then. We were ordered to leave the anchorage outside the Vista Beach Oct 30th 2014 by the Harbour Patrol and threatened with fines if we were not gone in one hour. The patrol referred to new charts forbidding anchoring in this area. The only permitted spot will be southeast of the harbour. Quite far from the facilities ashore. Most foreign sailors seem not to have these charts, as recommendations from sailors of this anchoring site are often received.
Los Cristianos is one of a few good anchoring spots in this area, and added to the stories about the Santa Cruz harbour captain this does not promote Tenerife as welcoming to yachts.
Things are changed in Los Cristianos.
The boatyard has been completely renovated and is now open to all vessel again.
The boatyard that once has been the most popular haul-out place in the Canaries is no fully operating again.
All the repair services are available, the new security measure is in place (CCTV cameras and harbour police 24 hours a day).
A new private company is now running the dry dock.
Prices of haul out and hard standing are reasonable and the service very good.
A new 110 tons travel lift, electrical and water supply, toilet and shower.
For more information or to make a reservation, you can call Adriano on 0034 654 517 993 or on VHF channel 14 calling MARINA SECA LOS CRISTIANOS.
A free berth for 1 night in the new marina is usually available for boats hauling out the following morning.
The yacht is now allowed to anchor in the nearby bay in front of Las Vista Beach (just next to the Harbor).
Things are changed in Los Cristianos…
Regards.
