What's on in Arona

Arona stretches from the busy southern resorts of Los Cristianos and Las Américas up into the quieter Tenerife hills, where the old village of Arona keeps a more traditional, slower pace away from the coast. It's the heart of the island's sunshine-holiday belt, with reliable beaches and easy nightlife, but the upland villages tell a different story.

The calendar mixes the two worlds: the San Juan midsummer beach show, the Miguel Ángel Mesa folklore festival up in the hills, a jazz concert series and the Arona Rock Fest. Here's what's on while you're here.
