The Las Canteras promenade follows roughly three kilometres of coast from La Puntilla to the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium. It is a linear walk. If you return on foot, allow for almost twice the distance and decide in advance how much of it you want to cover.<\/p>\n

La Puntilla and La Barra<\/h2>\n

Start at La Puntilla for a view along the bay. La Barra, the reef running parallel to part of the shore, is easier to make out in suitable tides and sea conditions. Stay on the promenade to enjoy the views without crossing the sand.<\/p>\n

The middle stretch<\/h2>\n

The central stretch has caf\u00e9s and entrances to the beach. It is a convenient place to turn back if you are walking with children or want a shorter outing. Check the relevant access points before heading down to the sand.<\/p>\n

La C\u00edcer and the Auditorium<\/h2>\n

The seafront changes as you approach Guanarteme. La C\u00edcer is known for surfing, and the Auditorium makes a clear endpoint. Conditions in the water vary along the bay. Follow beach flags and local advice if you stop for a swim.<\/p>\n

Choose your way back<\/h2>\n

Retrace the promenade, leave the coast through Guanarteme or check for a bus connection from your chosen endpoint. If you have a deadline, look up the stop and service before setting out. A short out-and-back walk still gives you a good feel for the seafront.<\/p>\n
