Palm-Mar Tenerife – Coastal Resort, Apartments, Bars and Real Estate

Palm-Mar is a compact coastal resort on the south coast of Tenerife, just a short drive from Los Cristianos. It combines a relaxed residential atmosphere with modern apartment complexes, sea-view promenades and a full range of everyday services such as supermarkets, bars, cafés and real estate agencies. The following photo walk introduces Palm-Mar to visitors and potential property buyers who want to see what the area really looks like.
