About the beach

Granadilla de Abona · Tenerife

Montaña Roja frames the horizon at El Médano / Leocadio Machado, where the beach’s character shifts as you move away from the town center. Near the square, strolling and swimming are the main activities; towards Leocadio Machado, sails and boards take center stage. The wind is part of the location's identity, making it fascinating even for those who simply want to watch windsurfers and kitesurfers from the shore. When planning to sunbathe, it is worth considering the wind conditions, not just the temperature.
