El Chamo
About
In Tenerife, El Chamo is a local business. The venue sits on Carr. General, 35, 38614 La Escalona, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the south of the island. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward local spot rather than a polished tourist venue. Its 4.6 out of 5 rating, drawn from 2259 reviews, reflects a strong and consistent reception. The venue has five photos available for reference. El Chamo is easy to reach from the main resorts and towns, with Costa Adeje lying within the island's road network. La Escalona sits in the hills above the southern coast, so a car or taxi makes the approach simpler. The Canary Islands enjoy a mild subtropical climate, with warm, sunny weather for most of the year. Summer, from June to September, is the hottest and busiest season. Diners across the Canaries gravitate to seafood pulled fresh from the water, goat cheese, and papas arrugadas dipped in mojo. Spanish serves as the everyday tongue throughout the archipelago. Flights connect the Canaries to mainland Spain, while ferries and short flights link the islands to each other. Santa Cruz, the island capital, lies to the north of La Escalona.
