Playa de Las Teresitas at San Andrés, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
When the residents of San Andrés wanted to draw more tourists to Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, they decided to improve the beach known as Playa de Las Teresitas. The rocky coast, with but a small stretch of black, volcanic sand, was covered with sand imported from the Sahara Desert. With the addition of a breakwater to make the waters more inviting, this village became a hotspot for visitors.
