Las Americas, or Playa de las Américas, is the largest resort in the south of Tenerife and the most popular resort on the island. It is located 75 km from the capital of the island - the city of Santa Cruz.
The center of Las Americas, around the hotel Sol Tenerife, is the most "tusovka" part of the resort. Most of the discos and clubs are concentrated here, and the streets remain lively until late at night. The eastern part is quite crowded in the daytime and in the evening, but by midnight, as a rule, all institutions are closed, and tourists disagree on their numbers.
The coast of Las Americas is administratively divided into two regions, the conditional border between them is the dried up river bed. The western part is called Costa Adeje, the eastern part is called Playa de las Americas. Nearby is the area of Los Cristianos. Despite the official division, one district flows smoothly into the other. A conditional boundary between them is a small mountain of Chyophite.
