Our municipality combines history, culture, nature and tourism in a unique way, from its traditional village and historic town centre to its coastline, hiking trails, marina and renowned golf courses. It is a place where visitors can discover authentic Canarian traditions, enjoy exceptional landscapes and experience the warmth and hospitality of our local community.

Hosting the 2026 International Pairs World Final is both an honour and an opportunity for San Miguel de Abona. It strengthens the international profile of our municipality and reinforces our position as one of Tenerife’s leading tourism and golf destinations, while providing an international platform to showcase our culture, landscapes, hospitality and tourism excellence. The event will also bring positive benefits to local businesses and strengthen the sense of pride within our community as we welcome visitors from around the world.

San Miguel de Abona offers the ideal conditions to host an international event of this scale. We have extensive experience as a tourism destination, a strong capacity to welcome visitors and excellent connectivity through Tenerife South Airport. These strengths are complemented by outstanding sporting facilities and a climate that allows outdoor activities to be enjoyed throughout the year. Together, these factors enable us to provide the best possible setting for international events and ensure that participants enjoy a high-quality experience in our municipality.

Developments such as Amarilla Golf have played an important role in the evolution of San Miguel de Abona as an international destination. Over the years, they have helped position the municipality in key tourism markets, attracting visitors from across Europe and contributing to the international recognition of our destination. Beyond their impact on tourism, they have also supported local businesses, generated employment opportunities and strengthened San Miguel de Abona’s reputation as a municipality that successfully combines quality tourism, sport, nature and local identity.

Food is an essential part of any travel experience, and San Miguel de Abona offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy authentic Canarian flavours. I would recommend trying traditional dishes such as papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, fresh local fish, pork ribs with potatoes and corn, escaldón, the traditional pelota de gofio with honey and almonds, and Canarian cheeses. Visitors should also take the opportunity to explore the Farmers’ Market, where they can discover local produce and meet local producers.

Wine lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit some of the municipality’s wineries, which reflect the rich winemaking tradition of San Miguel de Abona. I would also encourage visitors to sample the traditional pastries and sweets of the region, an important part of our gastronomic heritage, as well as enjoy the wide variety of local restaurants that showcase authentic Canarian cuisine and local products.

International sporting events play a key role in strengthening tourism and supporting the local economy. They attract visitors from different countries, generate demand for accommodation, restaurants, transport and local services, and provide valuable international visibility for the destination.

For San Miguel de Abona, events such as the International Pairs World Final are also an opportunity to showcase the municipality’s tourism offer, culture and hospitality to new audiences. They help reinforce our position as a quality destination, encourage future visits and contribute to sustainable economic development that benefits local businesses and the wider community.

Balancing tourism growth with the protection of our natural environment, heritage and local identity is essential for the future of San Miguel de Abona.
