LAS GALLETAS may be just a coastal town that is not very big with a splatter of bars, shops, and restaurants on its main street which allows pedestrians only; but the tourism industry has impacted it like other Spanish coastal resorts.

Las Galletas’ Development

There are many expatriate businesses happening around this region through bars and restaurant businesses catering to a complex-oriented style holiday which have spurred the tourism industry here since 1960s.

Though this place was named COSTA DEL SILENCIO, or ‘Coast of Silence’, this misnomer hears the constant sounds of cement mixers and pneumatic drills on developing buildings, as well as the flying buzzes of airplanes at its international airport since 1978. However, these happenings occur mainly on weekdays at the east side of the town.

There is still a quiet and reserved area which displays the natural rocky landscape with impressive cacti near Montaña Amarilla that gives some respite. Similarly, one can enjoy the nature reserve of Rasca at the west side of the town.

Overview Highlights

This coastal town of Las Galletas still draws many tourists to its huge resort area, the Costa del Silencio which is next to it. There is an adjoining harbor which encourages a stroll while the inland holds the major shopping district, Calle Central that has numerous narrow streets catering to pedestrians only. Further away is the avenue of La Rambla with trees lined along its side, although not frequented much by pedestrians. There are some restaurants here that overlook a slim promenade as well as a narrow stretch of pebbled beach with waves crashing in on the rocks along the shoreline that challenges both body-boarders and local surfers.

Along the beach, you will find big concrete walls in the sea which was set up to protect the local fishing boats in the small harbor. This place attracts a lot of divers and sunbathers.

The point of focus at the town is the major road in this resort town. There are 3 commercial centers close to each other that offer malls, shops, supermarkets and travel services as well as bars and restaurants.

Night Life

Though it may not offer a feisty nightlife as with other Spanish resorts, there are still some bars which serve drinks until the early morning hours, as the locals congregate to watch TV sports while enjoying their tapas out in the cool of the night. There are many themed pubs at the commercial centers for your choosing, such as ‘Peanut Disco Bar’ or ‘Disco Lord’. At the eastern side stands the Coralmar Square which is mainly a British bar that provides some live cabaret entertainment to its few patrons.
