Introducing Las Galletas

If Playa de las Américas is a large pizza with all the toppings, Las Galletas is a small pizza crust with a sprinkling of cheese and no spices at all. It’s a drab place that seems to have done very little (good or bad) to attract the thousands of tourists who land every day just a few miles away. The volcanic beach is rocky and the colour of pencil lead, although dozens of tiny fishing boats lie belly-up on the sand, proof that the town is still just a fishing village at heart – just not a very picturesque one.
