La Caleta is suitable for families, couples and those who are wanting a quiet relaxing holiday

La Caleta is a small fishing village within the Costa Adeje area. There are 2 main roads that run from La Caleta, these both run inland rather than along the coast.

The resort itself has a few bars and restaurants for its guests to enjoy. These are located right on the sea front with beautiful views over the sea.

La Caleta is suitable for families, couples and those who are wanting a quiet relaxing holiday. You can enjoy a lovely scenic walk along the coastline by heading towards Playa de las Americas, this will enventually take you to Playa del Duque.

If you walk in the opposite direction you will find rough trails which lead to some quiet coves liked by nudists.

Reina Sofia Airport is approx 28 km from the resort.

you can still get a cheap bottle of Dorada and a feel for La Caleta's fishing harbour credentials

be prepared to pay out for taxis to Playa de las Américas. The only night life here is in the nets of the fishermen.

Just two years ago, I could have said that walking from the resorts of Costa Adeje to the tiny fishing cove of La Caleta is like visiting a different planet. But now developments have crept along the coast at such a pace that you can't see the join.

Despite the encroachment of the rest of Costa Adeje, La Caleta still remains my favourite place along this stretch of coast to go for tapas and seafood at any of the restaurants that line the balcony over the sea. I'm looking forward to trying some of the fabulously stylish new restaurants that have opened up behind the harbour too and I love Rosso Sul Mare's terrace for coffee even though my purse faints at the sight of the menu. But the best place to go for a beer is at the small bars behind the tiny beach where you can still get a cheap bottle of Dorada and a feel for La Caleta's fishing harbour credentials while they last.

The 'new' beach in front of the Sheraton leaves a lot to be desired. It’s really uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet as one half is black shingle and the other is like builders' sand with sharp little stones in it. It's also currently the only way to walk along the coast from El Duque to La Caleta so it's a sort of highway.

In terms of entertainment, you'll have to be content with a bottle of wine, the sunsets and the stars or be prepared to pay out for taxis to Playa de las Américas. The only night life here is in the nets of the fishermen.

My advice? La Caleta is destined to continue to develop at a dizzying rate. If you want tranquillity with your sunshine, get in now while it still has its charm.
