What is the aircraft noise like in the El Médano area?

How noisy is it around El Médano when the planes are taking off?

Are they high enough not to be too distracting?

Visit there frequently and never notice the aircraft or hear any aircraft noise, amazing really when you consider the proximity of the airport.

Depends where you are. Near Playa El Médano I rarely notice them but down towards Arena Del Mar, on some days, you see and hear them frequently. I wouldn't let it put you off staying though.
