Playa de las Americas holidays

If you like your food fresh and flavourful, Playa de las Americas won’t disappoint. Seafood is a speciality, particularly fried parrotfish, sea bass and wreckfish served with a pepper garlic sauce called mojo. Potatoes are a beloved part of the Spanish-inspired delicacies on offer, specifically papas arrugadas. The small potatoes are boiled in salted water, giving their skin a wrinkly texture. It’s a simple but incredibly delicious dish, with soft potato inside and a perfectly seasoned skin.

Lined with lofty palm trees, Playa del Camisón is a luxurious crescent-shaped beach that offers both relaxation and water sports. With a plethora of sunbeds for hire, the golden sand and beaming sun create the ideal chill out spot. The waves are fairly strong, making it a popular spot for surfers. But, if that’s not your thing, you can also hire a jet ski. Families or those looking for a casual swim should head to Troya Beach. The sea is much calmer here but the view is equally as beautiful. In fact, the water is of such good quality that Troya Beach was awarded with the Blue Flag status. It’s close to a plethora of amenities, including a promenade lined with restaurants, taxi ranks and ATM machines.
