Everything about El M Dano totally explained
El Médano (
Spanish, "The
sand dune") is a town in the municipality of
Granadilla de Abona, on the island of
Tenerife, one of the
Canary Islands.
A place of strong
winds, it has been the site for various
windsurfing competitions and championships, though in recent years, an increase in the number of high-rise
hotels and
apartment buildings has reduced these winds' power. However,
parasailing has become a popular activity here in recent years.
The town is situated on a small
bay, at the head of which is La Montaña Roja ("The Red Mountain"), a
volcanic cone that's a protected natural preserve.
Hermano Pedro (1626-1667) spent some time in a little
cave situated near the present-day town. The cave is now the site of a small shrine dedicated to the saint.

El Medano also has a nice beach but the wind has been known to make the sand fly about a lot.
