Sailing itinerary — Return to Tenerife.
Our idea is to complete the trip to Tenerife in seven days, leaving and returning to Marina del Sur (Las Galletas). We will sail without haste, combining sailing days with time to visit some of the most beautiful towns and ports on the island.
Saturday: Las Galletas → Los Gigantes. Approximate distance: 25 MN.
We will begin our journey by setting sail from Las Galletas in the morning. We will sail along the southwest coast, passing through Montaña Amarilla, Costa Adeje, Puerto Colón, Playa San Juan and Alcalá.
We will arrive in Los Gigantes in the afternoon, where we will enjoy one of the most spectacular ports in Tenerife, surrounded by impressive cliffs.
Plan of the day:
Sailing to Los Gigantes.
A walk around the port.
Dinner with a view of the cliffs.
Enjoy the sunset.
Sunday: Los Gigantes → Garachico. Approximate distance: 21 MN.
We will continue north, bordering the Cliffs of Los Gigantes and turning around Punta de Teno, one of the most emblematic points of navigation around Tenerife.
We will arrive in Garachico, one of the most charming towns on the island.
If sea conditions permit, we can bathe in the natural pools of El Caletón before touring the historic center.

Plan of the day:

Tuesday: Puerto de la Cruz → Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Approximate distance: 24 MN.
This will be one of the longest stages of the trip. During the navigation we will leave behind the La Orotava Valley and we will border the Anaga Massif before entering Santa Cruz.

the afternoon we can tour the capital of the island.
