We discovered a variety of excellent restaurants at Los Gigantes where we were staying. Cafe Bistro 22, Brisa The Wine Bar and Terrace (great food and entertainment). Activities we enjoyed were Paragliding (Brisa Paragliding near Adeje) and walking the Baranco del Infierno (11 Euros pp), sight seeing highlights included an early drive to Masca and a visit to the national park to see Mount Teide and the other amazing views.
