Create your own vacation. Bus routes to the beaches in northern Tenerife

A single ticket is valid for buses and minibuses. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines installed in the metro and on the street, as well as from the bus/minibus driver. You can pay for tickets in cash or by credit card (in the case of a machine).

Types of tickets and prices

The cost of public transport in Las Vegas in the city center (Las Vegas blvd) and in residential areas on the outskirts varies. On transport diagrams, routes in the center are indicated by the inscription “Strip & Downtown Express (SDX) and Deuce on the Strip”, routes along the outskirts are indicated by “Residential Routes”.

Explanations for the table:

• Children under five years of age, accompanied by an adult, can ride for free.
• The number of transfers from one route to another using one ticket is not limited during the specified time.
• Discounts for preferential categories of citizens are provided upon presentation of a document.
• The fine for traveling without a ticket is $250.

Buses

Along the main street of Las Vegas Blvd, where most of the famous casinos are located, buses run around the clock, every 10-15 minutes. Buses connecting the city center with the outskirts, as a rule, run every 10-20 minutes from 5-6 am to 12-2 am.

If you decide to spend your holiday in Gran Canaria, it is not so important whether you fly independently or through an agency. Even the purpose of your trip is limited only to visiting the beach and enjoying the joys of the All Inclusive system - sooner or later you may get tired of the beach, and the question of moving around the island or the desire to visit the neighboring one will arise.

For most independent travelers, the Canarian public transport experience starts at the door airport, it is from here that we will begin to consider possible routes.

The bus stop itself is located very close to the exit of the terminal building: after collecting your luggage, you should go up one floor and the information boards will lead you straight to it. It should be noted that “bus” in Canarian is called “guagua”, however, if you say autobus or bus, you will, of course, be understood. You can pay the fare either to the driver himself or purchase a ticket from a machine located nearby. Buses connecting the airport with the capital of the island or the south are somewhat different from regular city transport. They are equipped with special compartments where you can place your luggage. All intercity bus services are provided by Global.

Direction "North"

Those wishing to travel north to the capital Las Palmas should use the buses №60 or №91 . In the city of Las Palmas itself, there are two bus stations: San Telmo, located in the center of the capital, and Santa Catalina, which is located near the port of Canteras.

If the bus №60 - this is a direct line on the route "Airport - Las Palmas", route №91 connects the south of the island (Playa del Cura) with the capital. Please note that the bus may arrive at the Airport stop already full. Bus fare is approx. 3€ , you can find out more about travel prices here. In addition to regular tariffs, the company offers special tourist cards that give the opportunity to receive 20% discount per tariff or pay for several trips at once at competitive prices. (You can find out more at the San Telmo station or directly at the airport).

Direction "South"

There are three bus routes to the south of the island: №66 , №90 and already known to us №91 .

№66 provides direct communication between the airport and the most tourist centers of Maspalomas and Playa Inglés; №90 runs along the coast, uniting Telde and Faro de Maspalomas, and №91 seems to extend the route №66 to Puerto Rico and Amadores, connecting the south with the island's capital.

You can download schedule most popular routes.

Public transport in Las Palmas is provided by another transport company; schedules and tariffs can be viewed on the carrier’s website www.guaguas.com. The cost of travel around the city is 1,40€ (you can also pay the driver at the entrance), to save money you can purchase passes for 2 or 10 trips at the San Telmo or Santa Catalina stations.

Alternative transport: taxi or car rental

Surprisingly Taxi in Gran Canaria it is cheaper than in Madrid. A trip to the center of the capital will cost you approximately 25-35 €, depending on the time of day and day of the week (at night and on weekends it is more expensive). The cost of travel to the south is a little more expensive: to San Agustin 30-35 €, Playa Inglés 30-37 €, Puerto Rico 49-60 €, the most distant and expensive is Puerto de Mogán - about 63-77 €. You can easily find a taxi stop when leaving the airport; usually there is always a small queue near the cars. When landing, pay attention to the meter turning on. The Spaniards do not have the habit of deceiving their tourists, but still, when paying for travel, be sure to ask for a receipt as a guarantee of the correct price. The receipt always indicates the car code and time; it is quite easy to check whether you were counted correctly in case of doubt.

About car rental in Spain we have already written, so it’s up to you to decide whether to rent a car or use public transport. To the general information about Spanish traffic regulations, it is worth adding a little Canarian specifics:

The roads are quite narrow, with sharp turns. Recommendation: do not play loud music and drive in the mountains with the windows open. On sharp turns with poor visibility, drivers are warned of their approach by an audible signal;

The Canarian driving style itself is quite aggressive compared to Madrid. Here you can see overtaking on the right or turning from the left lane to the right without turning on;

Do not drive after drinking even just a glass of beer. In tourist areas, alcohol levels are monitored almost every 10 km, and fines in Spain are very high. Arucas is famous for its special control, apparently due to the rum factory located next door.

In this article I will tell you about public transport in Gran Canaria, its cost, and tell you how to get from the capital of the island to the resorts in its south. Public transport in Gran Canaria is represented by intercity buses (Spanish: Guagua) and is as well developed as. Almost half of the total population of the Canary archipelago is concentrated in Gran Canaria, which dictates the need for modern and well-functioning public transport. Buses link the capital of the island, Las Palmas, and the airport in the north with the resorts of the sunny south.

City buses in Las Palmas

Most likely, you won’t need buses to get around the city of Las Palmas: tourists prefer to settle in the very center of the city or near the Playa de las Canteras beach. For example, in a hotel on the first line Hotel Concorde or in the NH Imperial Playa hotel. However, if you do need to use public transport in Las Palmas, the official Las Palmas public transport website, Guaguas.com, will come to your aid. On the website you can get directions, view ticket sales locations and public transport schedules.

For example, if you need to travel from Playa de las Canteras (Tomas Miller stop) to the Columbus Museum (Plaza de las ranas stop), then you will need bus number 12.

Total works in Las Palmas 40 day routes– urban and suburban, as well as 3 night routes– L1, L2, L3. A detailed map of all bus routes in the city can be found below. The bus fare is 1.4 Euro per trip. To save money, you can also buy a contactless travel card, with which 2 trips will cost 2.4 Euros, and 10 trips will cost 8.5 Euros. Tickets can be purchased from the driver, but passes can only be purchased at sales offices (in Santa Catalina Park, Avda. Rafael Cabrera, Plaza de la Constitución, 5 bajo, Sor Simona, 44).

A detailed map of bus routes in Las Palmas and its suburbs is shown below.

Intercity buses from Las Palmas to the resorts of the south

Intercity buses depart from two bus stations in Las Palmas: from Santa Catalina bus station(address: Santa Catalina Park), located next to the port, and with San Telmo bus station(address: Avda. Rafael Cabrera) near the Columbus Museum. Buses from Las Palmas Airport also arrive at these bus stations. Ticket offices at the San Telmo bus station are open on weekdays from 07:00 to 20:00, on weekends from 08:00 to 13:00.

It is convenient to view the schedule and routes of intercity buses from Las Palmas on the Globalsu.net website. Buses run from approximately 06:00 to 20:00, there are no night intercity buses. The buses are very comfortable and air-conditioned. The capital of the island is connected with the southern resorts by the following routes:

• Bus number 1: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria –
• Bus number 5: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria –
• Bus number 91: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria - Puerto de Mogán (via Gran Canaria Airport)

There are also bus routes that run between the southern resorts without stopping at the capital of the island:

• Route 32: Puerto de Mogán – Playa del Inglés
• Route No. 33: Playa del Inglés – Puerto Rico – Puerto de Mogán
• Route 39: Playa del Inglés – Playa de Amadores
• Route no. 45: Baia Feliz – Palmitos Park
• Route No. 70: Palmitos Park - Puerto Rico

Tickets for intercity buses are purchased from the driver. The cost of the ticket depends on the number of km you travel. For example, the fare for the section Gran Canaria Airport - Faro de Maspalomas will be 4.05 Euros per person.

Taxi in Gran Canaria

The official taxis in Gran Canaria are white Mercedes and are equipped with taximeters. Tariffs are regulated at the state level. Always ask the driver for a receipt after a taxi ride (in Spanish, “un recibo”). The receipt will be useful to you if you forget something in a taxi.

Many vacationers, who for some reason do not want to rent a car and drive around the island on a tour, book themselves a driver with a car for the whole day. This pleasure costs about 200 Euros per day.

If you don't want to use local taxis and you need to leave at a certain time, for example to the airport, then I recommend using the Internet. Tourists love this type of transfer because... no need to wait for the car and worry about whether you will have time to get to the airport.

How to leave from one Canary Island to another?

Option number 1. Plane from Gran Canaria

The Canary Islands are connected by regular flights thanks to the airlines Binter and CanaryFly. Flights between islands are often cheaper than ferries, so I recommend paying attention to them for those who are not afraid of turboprop aircraft. Approximate flight prices can be found in the table below. Please note that CanaryFly's inter-island flights fly into Tenerife North Airport, not Tenerife South Airport. It is better to book flights in advance to catch the best price.

Option number 2. Ferry from Gran Canaria

The most important ports of the island: Puerto de la Luz (in Las Palmas), Arguinengin, Arinaga. For passenger transport, the ports of Puerto de la Luz and Purto de las Nieves in the municipality of Agaete in Las Palmas are used.

The most popular sea carriers between the Canary Islands are Fred Olsen Express, Naviera Armas and Transmediterranea. You can travel on ferries with a car. Please note when purchasing tickets on the website that you do not select the “Residente en Canarias” (resident of the Canary Islands) option. Resident tickets are sold at a 75% discount on the regular price, and if you buy one for yourself by mistake, it will naturally be invalid. Tickets are sold both online and at the ticket office in the port of Puerto de la Luz.

Car rental in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria has roads that circle the entire island and go into the mountainous areas in the center of the island. The first roads appeared on the island at the end of the 20th century around its capital, Las Palmas. The island's expressways are GC1, GC2 and GC3. In addition to them, there are highways with a median GC4 and GC5. The current cost of a liter of gasoline is 1.22 Euro. The maximum speed on the highway is 120 km/h, in populated areas - 60 km/h.

Renting a car will give you a certain degree of freedom: you can drive without an excursion to the most remote corners of the island of Gran Canaria: Tamadaba National Park in the north of the island, authentic villages with the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Arucas, Firgas, Teror, Mount Roque Nublo, Pico de las Nieves volcano . The island of Gran Canaria is divided by a volcano into 2 climatic zones, it is not for nothing that it is called. To get a complete picture of the island, it is better to come here on vacation for 7-10 days and travel around the entire island without haste.

The roads in Gran Canaria are winding and serpentine, so only experienced drivers can drive on them. The roads on the island are quite narrow and have many sharp turns. Locals advise turning off the music while driving in order to hear the horn of an approaching car in time (in blind turns, cars honk to make themselves known). It is strictly forbidden to drink and drive here - tourists are often checked by the police, and you can be given a huge fine for just a glass of wine!

Las Vegas is a city that is endowed with a very convenient layout for tourists - everything that is of interest to tourists is concentrated mainly on one central street - Las Vegas Boulevard or the Strip as it is commonly called.

But remember that the Strip is a very long boulevard, a full exploration of all its attractions is a very decent number of kilometers - so going for a walk along the entire Strip is not a very good idea even for a physically fit and hardy tourist.

The easiest way is to resort to a taxi from time to time, but this pleasure in the city of one-armed bandits, you understand, will cost you a pretty penny.

A good example is that traveling from the airport to the Bellagio Hotel by taxi will cost you no less than 25 bucks. But in America it’s customary to tip, so consider that that’s already thirty dollars for 10 minutes of pleasure to ride through the streets of Love Vegas in a taxi...

Therefore, we advise you to do as most experienced tourists do - travel around Vegas by bus. This is very convenient - after all, almost all Las Vegas public transport routes run along the Strip we need.

All passenger buses (public transport) in Las Vegas are owned by RTC, and throughout the city you can find stops with their logo. There are only three types of buses on the routes:

Regular buses that operate on absolutely all routes except the Strip. If you are not going to explore the residential areas of Vegas, then you will not see these buses

The most popular tourist route is the double-decker Deuce buses. They only walk along the Strip, bowing to every pillar.

And the second type of buses is Express. They almost exactly repeat the Deuce route, but they do not stop at all stops and they can take you to outlet stores in the south and north of Vegas.

At each stop there is a route map, it is almost impossible to get confused. The fare is $5 for a 2-hour unlimited ride or $7 for a ticket valid for 24 hours. There is a ticket option for $20 - you can ride for 72 hours. The countdown begins on the first trip: you board the bus, insert your ticket into the terminal, and time has passed. There are no terminals on express trains, but controllers are constantly running, fines are in full force - you can be left without pants.

Car rental is not so popular in Las Vegas - unless you want to enjoy the beauty of the city in addition to the beauty of the desert state of Nevada - then, of course, the best option for you will be a rented car.

Tenerife buses at Tenerife South Airport

TITSA's green buses are a cheap and fairly convenient way to get around the island of Tenerife. By bus from Las Americas you can get directly to the capital, southern and northern airports, Puerto de La Cruz, and Teide volcano. Well, with one transfer - to any, even the most remote corner of Tenerife.

Bono ticket designs vary. On the reverse side you can see the remaining balance. All buses in Tenerife run on schedule. It can be downloaded from the link at the top of the page or obtained in printed form at bus stations. They also sell Bono travel tickets - prepaid magnetic cards, a very useful thing. If you pay for travel with such a card, rather than cash to the driver, you will save 30-50% of the fare. Profitable.

Bono cards cost 15 or 25 €. This amount will appear in the account. BonoBus does not operate on Teide routes; fares must be paid to the driver in cash. Enter the front door, insert your card into the validator near the driver, tell him where you are going and how many you are. One card can pay for the travel of several people at once, the main thing is that there is enough money in the account. Well, if it’s not enough, then pay extra with coins taking into account the discount. When paying for your fare in cash, keep in mind that according to the driver's instructions, you are not allowed to accept bills with a denomination of more than 20 €.

All regular buses whose route passes through/past Las Americas (Costa Adeje), regardless of the direction of travel, must stop at the bus station (Estacion de guaguas). Plus a dozen stops are located throughout the resort. In some cases, it is more convenient to use them rather than walk to the bus station. Los Cristianos also has its own bus station.

On the bus, you MUST notify the driver of your intention to get off at the next stop by pressing a button in the bus. But how does a tourist know his stop in advance if he is traveling on this bus for the first time in his life? And for some reason announcing stops in Tenerife is considered bad manners. The end point of most of the routes you need is also the final station. Everything is simple here: you can relax and calmly look out the window. Missing the airport is also problematic in principle. If you need to get off at an inconspicuous intermediate stop, ask the driver to warn you on his fingers and sit closer to him. It’s good to remind him of this again along the way. Don’t be afraid to seem funny and annoying: tourists on the island are treated with understanding.

TITSA where to buy tickets

A few important points when using buses:
Monthly passes are for local residents only.
You'll probably see a stack of Bono tickets near the driver, but he doesn't sell them (Bonos are bought at bus stations). These are replacement cards. If there is no space on the back of your ticket and the validator beeps, the driver will issue a blank ticket with the balance in the account.
Bono cards are valid for one year from the date of your first trip.
When waiting for a bus at peripheral stops, when the desired bus approaches, BE SURE TO RAISE YOUR HAND - otherwise it may pass by.
Suitcases and bicycles are hidden in the luggage compartment of the bus (the driver opens it upon request or self-service).

Bono Card Tenerife where to buy
