El Medano is a pleasant village near the Montaña Roja. Here there is a young mentality, partly due to the presence of many surfers as well as the offer of all kinds of activities in the village centre. In the centre of El Medano there are many good restaurants, bars and shops. The village square is teeming with activity in the summer: tourists but also the local population come together here to cool down after a hot summer day on the many terraces or to just sit on a bench and enjoy the sea breeze. The sandy beach of El Medano is a favourite seaside resort for the locals, both young and old. El Medano is also the mecca for surfers and it is not without reason that the European surfing championships are held here. You can stroll pleasantly along the promenade, kilometres long to the beach of Tejita or to the fishing village of Los Abrigos. El Medano has a special style and that makes it so authentic!
