How to get around the Canary Islands

Canary Islands
Weather

The best way to get around the individual islands is to hire a car. The archipelago’s many winding roads are generally in excellent condition. Cars can be hired at any of the airports as well as in the larger towns and from resorts.

The islands’ are also excellent for cycling. Alternatively, each island operates a useful bus network to all the major towns and attractions. Taxis are generally expensive and are best for short distances only.

A fleet of fast ferries are good for hopping between adjacent islands, although flying is quicker.

The Canary Islands comprise seven main islands, (from large to small in size) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro; plus many smaller islands and islets.

Between islands

Air: Flying is the quickest option if you plan on island-hopping. Binter Canarias (www.bintercanarias.com) offers a comprehensive network with flights to all the Canary Islands.

Canary Fly (www.canaryfly.es) flies between Tenerife, La Palma, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, while Air Europa Express (www.aireuropa.com) offers services from Tenerife to Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma.

Sea: Ferries and jetfoils connect all the islands and provide a reasonably quick and easy way to hop from one island to the next. While the major routes have numerous boats each day, the less common routes should be booked in advance.

Naviera Armas (www.navieraarmas.com), Acciona Trasmediterranea (www.trasmediterranea.es), and Fred Olsen (www.fredolsen.es) are the main operators, with numerous services between the islands as well as to and from the Spanish mainland.

The main ferry routes, include Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) – Santa Cruz de Tenerife, taking 2hrs 30mins; Agaete (Gran Canaria) – Santa Cruz de Tenerife, taking 1hr 30mins; Arrecife (Lanzarote) Las Palmas (Gran Canaria), taking 8hrs; Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) – Morro Jable (Fuerteventura), taking 2-3hrs; Los Cristianos (Tenerife) – San Sebastián de la Gomera, taking 45mins; Los Cristianos (Tenerife) – Valverde (El Hierro), taking 3hrs; and Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) – Corralejo (Fuerteventura), taking 30mins.

Schedules on secondary routes can and do change for a variety of reasons. If time is tight, flying is a much faster alternative (often with competitive prices).

On land

Motorways and major roads are of a high standard with smooth surfaces and clear markings. Mountain roads are often narrow and winding, and some surfaces can be rough in the more rural regions. There are also unpaved rural roads.

Car hire: All the major international car-rental companies are represented in the Canary Islands, including Avis (www.avis.es), Budget (www.budget.es), Hertz (www.hertz.es) and Europcar (www.europcar.es). There are also numerous local operators, including Cicar (www.cicar.com), a well-regarded company that operates on all the islands.

To hire a car you need a valid driving licence, be aged 21 or over and have a credit card. Visitors with a non-EU licence should also have an International Driving Permit (IDP), however national licences from countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA are usually accepted.

In general, you’re not allowed to take a hire car from one island to another without the company’s explicit permission. An exception for most companies is the Fuerteventura–Lanzarote sea crossing – most have no problem with you taking your car from one to the other and, in some cases, you can hire on one island and drop the car off on the other.

It’s a good idea to reserve in advance during high season or on the smaller islands where hire cars aren’t as plentiful.

Third-party motor insurance is a minimum requirement in the Canary Islands. Be careful to understand what your liabilities and excess are, and what waivers you are entitled to in case of accident or damage to the hired vehicle.

Larger international car-rental firms such as Avis tend to have a comprehensive vehicle insurance policy built into the quote, so you are pretty well covered for damage to the car, but check when you hire.

Note: Driving on a dirt road may render your policy null and void, so check with the car-hire firm.

Legal driving age for motorcycles and scooters is 16 (80cc and over) or 15 (50cc and under) years; a licence is required. Motorcyclists must use headlights at all times and wear a helmet if riding a bike of 125cc or more.

Traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road. The speed limit in built-up areas is 50kph (31mph), increasing to 100kph (62mph) on major roads and up to 120kph (74mph) on autovías (motorways).

Taxi: Taxis are one of the most expensive ways to get around the Canary Islands. However, they can be useful for getting to and from the airport and around town. Taxis are regulated, have metres and you can flag them down on the street.

Bus: Buses – known locally as guaguas (and pronounced ‘wa-wa’) – are the most common form of public transport in the Canary Islands.

The most efficient services are found on the bigger islands such as Tenerife and Gran Canaria, and operate to all the major towns and popular tourist attractions during weekdays, but services are less-frequent on weekends.

In the larger towns and cities, buses leave from the estación de guaguas (bus station), while in villages and small towns, they usually terminate on a particular street or plaza. You buy your ticket on the bus.

The following bus companies provide a comprehensive network of routes in their respective islands, including Global (www.guaguasglobal.com) in Gran Canaria, Guagua Gomera (www.guaguagomera.com) on La Gomera, Intercity Bus (www.arrecifebus.com) on Lanzarote, Tiadhe (tiadhe.com) on Fuerteventura, TITSA (www.titsa.com) on Tenerife, TransHierro (www.transhierro.com) on El Hierro, and Transportes Insular La Palma Services (www.tilp.es) on La Palma.

On some of the islands you can buy a bus card for €2, which then provides a discount off the fare. On Tenerife, the card is called a Ten+ Travel Card, and offers a fare saving of around 30% depending on the route. On other islands, the card – where it exists – is called a Bono Transport card, and offers a 5% discount on Fuerteventura and 10% on Lanzarote.

The cards can be topped up in increments from a minimum of €5. You can buy them at bus stations and shops (such as newsagents). Usually you touch the card to the reader on the bus, tell the driver where you are going, and the fare will be deducted from the card. With the Ten+ Travel Card on Tenerife, you tap in and tap out (remember to tap out or you will pay the full fare for the line). You can usually share a card with a fellow traveller.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a Live bus pass (www.guaguas.com/tarifas-carnets/tarjeta-turistica) for use on city routes: a one-day unlimited travel card is €5, and a three-day unlimited travel card is €12. The card is available from tourist offices and bus stations in the city.

Fares throughout the Canary Islands are reasonable; destinations within each island are calculated according to distance: ticket fares vary from €1 for a short city hop to €10 or so for journeys of more than an hour (on the larger islands). La Palma has introduced a standardised fixed bus distance tariff: up to 10km (€1. 50), 10km to 20km (€2.40) and over 20km (€2.60).

It pays to have small notes and coins as change, as the bus driver may not be able to break a large note.

Train: The only train link in the Canary Islands is a light-rail tram that runs from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to San Cristobal de La Laguna in Tenerife, a distance of 12.5km (7.8mi).

Bicycle: The Canary Islands are cycle friendly, and cycling is a very pleasant (and healthy) way to get around and see the sights. Local drivers are generally tolerant and patient with cyclists, although on narrow and hilly roads some drivers may become impatience.

Only Las Palmas has cycle lanes and beachside roads are starting to incorporate space for bike riding.

You can hire mountain bikes, city bikes and e-bikes at numerous bike shops and certain resorts in the more tourist-orientated areas of the islands. Expect to pay a minimum of €12 per day, with a standard deposit of around €50. Rental rates typically include a helmet and some basic equipment. Some rental outfits offer guided bike tours.

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, there is a public bike hire scheme called Sitycleta; look for the yellow and blue bikes dotted in stations around the city.

Taking your bike on ferries is pretty straightforward, and the good news is it’s either free or very inexpensive.

Getting there

Daily flights from Europe to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife are available with different airlines. Flight times from the UK are around four and half hours. Flight connections to the Canary islands from outside Europe are via mainland Spain.

Getting around

Car hire is the most popular and recommended option with a good number of car rental companies present on the islands. The roads are well sign posted and a Sat Nav (GPS) always comes in handy.

Public transport consists of bus routes on Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife which also has a metropolitan tram. Check timetables as they don’t run 24/7.

Inter-island connections are possible with flights and ferries.

When to go

Given their sub-tropical climate, the Canary Islands are an all-year-round destination, with temperatures around 18C in winter and close to 30C during summer. Late spring and early autumn offer the mildest weather whereas July and August are the hottest months. The busiest time for visitors is from November until Easter with tourists predominantly coming from Europe. Summer is most popular with tourists from mainland Spain.

Do’s and Don’ts

You’ll find very welcoming people in the Canary Islands as they have been helping tourists get around for a long time.

While basic English is generally spoken, don’t assume people will understand you; it’s always useful to have a few basic Spanish phrases to hand. The islands are known for their low crime; a common sense approach is recommended when taking care of your personal belongings and money.

Shopping

There is no VAT in the Canary Islands so all goods and services tend to be cheaper than in mainland Spain. Goods are not exempt from import VAT on your return. For guidance on what you can and can’t bring into the UK click here.

Although you can find shopping centres on the Canaries we recommend high-street shopping as a way to enjoy different towns and villages and mix up with the locals. Some shops will be closed around lunchtime (2 pm – 4 pm).

Currency

As in the rest of Spain, the Canary Islands’ currency is the EURO. Major credit cards are widely accepted and ATM machines can be found around quite easily. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked for ID when using your card as it’s customary. It is advisable to carry cash in smaller villages.

Phones

The Canary Islands have an extensive GSM. Do check with your phone company about roaming charges before travelling. Public telephones accept pre-paid cards which you can buy at shops and newsstands.

Electricity

220/240 AC volts with Euro type plugs. For other plug types an adaptor will be required.

Health

Tap water is safe for drinking. Bottled mineral water is widely available.

Religion

Main religion is Roman Catholic. Other faiths are respected.

Language

Main language is Spanish. English is widely spoken in touristic areas, followed by German.

Local Time

Canary Islands time zone is GMT, same as UK and Ireland.

Visa and Passports

As in the rest of Spain, EU nationals can enter with an ID card or a passport. For some other countries, entry into Spain requires a passport which is valid for at least three months beyond the length of your stay and issued within the last 10 years. For citizens from countries who require a visa these can be obtained from the Spanish embassy or consulate in your own country.

For more info on visa regulations in Spain click here.

Food and Drink

Canary Islands cuisine owes to both Latin American and mainland Spain, followed by Africa. Popular coastal eats include grilled fish such as bream and sea bass. Whilst inland, the Guachinches -the name for restaurants serving traditional authentic island food- offer tasty grilled beef and pork dishes. The famous papas arrugadas (‘wrinkly potatoes’) are enjoyed both as an appetizer and as a side. Gofio, a flour created by grinding roasted sweetcorn, used to be the staple food for centuries and it’s still very common in some dishes. Mojo rojo and mojo verde are two widely-known sauces ideal which can accompany any dish.

Mountain bike routes in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is much more than beaches, the characteristics of the island make it a special place to cycle. Today in First Minute Transfer we will talk about the mountain bike routes in Lanzarote. Here you will find paths and trails that will allow you to get to know it from another perspective.

Tips for cycling in Lanzarote

Traveling Lanzarote by pedals is possible for people with any level of experience. From those who do it only as a holiday hobby to expert cyclists. The characteristics of the island become an attraction for cycling.

The bike rides will allow you to have more contact with the nature and the lunar landscape of Lanzarote. It will be a different way of knowing the island. And, although it is common to meet many cyclists, you will be far from crowded places of tourists. Which does not mean that you are not going to know the most popular attractions such as the Timanfaya National Park. You can take detours or additional roads to visit specific sites.

What makes the cycle routes in Lanzarote so special is that the relief of the island does not have extreme altitudes. You will find unevenness and slopes, some difficulty, but in many cases there are alternative ways to avoid them. Trails covered in volcanic ash and craters will be part of the attractions. On the other hand, the extension of the island allows to cycle it in a few days.

If you choose the bicycle as a means of transport in Lanzarote, keep these recommendations in mind:

• You should like to ride a bike and you have to be fit for the routes.
• Plan the route in advance if you are going on your own.
• Bring hydration and sun protection.
• Make sure you have the necessary safety equipment: helmet, reflective vest, lights).
• Wear your swimsuit because on some routes you will have the opportunity to take a bath on the beach.

You can combine the bike rides with other excursions in Lanzarote to enjoy more the spirit of the island.

Mountain bike routes in Lanzarote

When you go to the island you can take your bike or leave it at home. You will find that there are facilities for renting bicycles in Lanzarote. You can choose between short routes, that is, day trips or tour the island for several days on pedals.

You can also choose between doing the walks on your own or with a company. These have all the equipment you need during the tour and guides that will accompany you. There are even some who will take care of the luggage to the place where you go to rest every day.

Choose the type of trip that suits you so you can enjoy the trip to this Canary Island to the fullest. You can do the road trip or going into the mountains. Everywhere you will find road signs. Also do not miss finding other adventurers like you, because it is a popular place for cycling.

Next, let’s see some of the routes you can do during your stay on the island.

Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise is a good place to start exploring Lanzarote by road or mountain bike. From there, there are several places that you can visit pedaling. Different companies will present you the most varied routes.

But if you decide to do it on your own, it includes the Tabayesco path from where you can get to the Mirador del Río.

From Costa Teguise you can also go to Tahiche, Teguesite, La Vega de San José and the historic center of Teguise. If you want to bike around the villages this is a good alternative.

Peñas del Chace

If you want to reach the highest point of the island, you should go to the Peña del Chace. To get to this point you can also depart from Costa Teguise. Among the attractions that you will find on the way some archaeological remains and the possibility of walking on the edge of a crater.

La Geria & Timanfaya National Park

These are two attractions that should not be left out of your route plan. To the wine region of La Geria you can arrive departing from Teguise. On the way you will find the Wine Museum and the Monumento al Campesino (Monument to the Peasant).

Starting from Puerto del Carmen towards La Geria there are also other routes that you will enjoy if you prefer mountain biking. These lava tracks will take you to the Parque de los Volcanes, to Timanfaya or Montaña Blanca.

When you arrive at Timanfaya you can not enter the park by bicycle. You will have to get on the bus to make the journey. You can take that time to rest and replenish energy.

Los Ajaches & Playa de Papagayo

Above we mentioned that you would find routes where you could take a bath and this is one of them. The Ajaches is a protected area in which there are several coves. We recommend Playa de Papagayo to stop and take advantage of the sea.

Within this route you can include other places such as Salinas del Janubio  Los Hervideros through the volcanic coast, starting from the Gulf.

La Graciosa

La Graciosa is a small island near, which you arrive by ferry from Puerto de Órzola in just 20 minutes. The island of La Graciosa is very flat and the paths are ideal for cycling. There are no paved roads and you will only see a few rustic cars that have permission to drive.

One of the attractions of La Graciosa is being able to travel by bike. You do not have to carry yours, because on the islet there are places where you can rent all the equipment.

Return to Lanzarote

Among the most popular routes you will find on the island is the return to Lanzarote by road bike. Unlike the previous routes this is done by stages that are divided into several days. It requires more planning and you have to define how long it will last and the routes that will be made each day.

It is worth it to dare to do it if you are a bike fan because you will connect more with the island. You will also have the opportunity to know the most popular sites during the tour.

These are some of the mountain bike routes in Lanzarote that you should consider on your next trip. If you need a transfer from the airport to your place of destination on the island, contact us and book with us.

Description

“Colored Mountain” Montaña Colorada , which was the result of the last eruption of Timan 17,6, which occurred in the year Timanfa.

Montaña Colorada fully justifies its name, its slopes are painted in red, gray orange colors and shades.

Montaña Colorada is located in the eastern part of the Timanfaya Natural Park and is part of the Volcanoes Park, which covers 10,000 hectares.

The height of the mountain is about 100 meters.

Colorado Volcano Crater is ideal for hiking and walking tours. During the journey, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape, the play of colors on the slopes of the mountain. The mountain changes its color depending on the time of day and the weather.

A hiking trail runs around the mountain. The trail is equipped with information stands where you can read the history of the place, learn more about the local flora and fauna.

Also near Mount Colorada you can see a unique phenomenon – volcanic bombs, stones up to 7 meters high and weighing about 50 tons. They were created during a volcanic eruption, when huge masses of volcanic rock erupted from a crater under great pressure and solidified into stone spheres. They give an idea of ​​the power of the elements.

Entrance to the hiking trail is free. The walk along the route takes about an hour.

For a walk, you should choose comfortable closed shoes and take care of the supply of water.

Mount Colorada or Montana Colorada is one of Lanzarote’s most scenic natural attractions. Its slopes are painted in gray, red and orange and look very picturesque. The height of the mountain is small, only 100 meters above sea level. There is a hiking trail around Montaña Colorada . Close to Montana Colorada you can see another attraction – the Gude volcanic bomb.

Getting there

At the monument to the farmer, you need to turn onto the LZ-30 highway, after 6 km you should turn onto the LZ-56 highway, after a couple of kilometers you will see a parking lot located near the mountain.

Roads in the Canary Islands: Tenerife and Lanzarote

Roads in the Canary Islands: Tenerife and Lanzarote
Roads in the Canary Islands are all good, asphalt, no potholes. Moreover, behind Villaflor, we observed a situation where a new layer of ideal asphalt was laid on top of the ideal asphalt of the old road.
Apparently they rolled up the budget by the end of the year in order to get at least the next one . In the villages, too, mostly asphalt. There is a high-speed (up to 120 km per hour) multi-lane Autopista TF-1 highway from the capital Santa Cruz to the south. However, please note that there are traffic jams in places on the expressway! Usually in the morning and evening at rush hour, when people travel to the capital and back, there is a high-speed TF-1 traffic jam starting from Los Americas, Los Cristianos and up to the capital Santa Cruz. Cars are concentrated in the area of ​​​​populated areas, where there are exits from the highway, between villages in a freer way. But the average speed of movement along this route drops to 60 km/h due to traffic jams. Keep this in mind, especially when you go to the airport. Since we also left and returned during rush hours, we tried not to go to the TF1 highway, we turned onto alternative roads above or below the highway (if there were any), especially since there is nothing interesting on the highway, and all the most interesting is just on internal roads, and traffic jams were not observed there.
The roads in Tenerife are mountainous, there are serpentines, steep and not very steep. The most difficult section we encountered – this part of the road to Maska has a steep serpentine, several kilometers long, from the south. The road in this section is narrow and there are very sharp turns, you need to drive slowly and as carefully as possible, two cars pass without problems, incl. and a bus, but the difficulty is that the drivers of oncoming cars feel badly about the dimensions of the car and fly out into the oncoming lane (the British, what to take from them), on the forehead, and even at a decent speed. Often drivers lose their vigilance because of the beauty of these places, get distracted by looking at the gorges, keep this in mind and be on the lookout. In general, on the roads of Tenerife, we can say that they are clearly not for green beginners, but they cannot be called particularly difficult either. Move within the rules, do not rush, think with your head and there will be no problems. We did not experience discomfort on the road. They moved at the speed of the stream. The average speed on the mountain roads of Tenerife is about 50 km/h.
According to reviews, a dangerous road also goes to Cape Teno, but we didn’t get there. At the entrance to Cape Teno, there is a sign that now private cars are not allowed there on all days. You can drive freely only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. On other days, travel is allowed only for taxis and buses from 10.00 to 17.00. Based on the text of the announcement and communication with the employee at the barrier, you can go any day before 10.00 and after 17.00. You can take the bus in the village closest to Cape Teno, in which the barrier of the road to Cape Teno is located, the ticket is 1 euro. Local authorities replenish their budget in this way.

The roads in Tenerife are very picturesque and well-maintained. When driving along them, be sure to stop at the numerous observation platforms on the road itself and on the lapels and lay extra time for this.
!NB: remember that people often steal from the lookouts, don’t leave valuables in the car even for a second.
The most beautiful roads in the central part of Tenerife, in the north of Tenerife and in the western part to the area of ​​Maski. We tried to drive on different roads, especially those roads that lead to the Teide volcano. The landscapes are varied and magnificent. There are 4 main roads leading to Teide – 2 from the north and 2 from the south. Stunning in beauty and the road passing through the center of the Teide Park – TF21. Very beautiful roads in the Anaga Natural Park area and the entire western coast, where the road winds over the sea. A detailed description of the sights of each of the roads and our recommendations on how to see all the most beautiful in a small number of days, read in the descriptions by day. When preparing for the trip, most of the time was spent precisely on compiling a convenient guide along the route and not missing anything, since each of the roads is literally stuffed with interesting things.

  Nice hotel, lots of delicious food. From the window you can see the mountain landscape and the garden. Quiet area.

  Most of the staff speak poor English. The hotel needs to be upgraded to be 4 star.

  There is a garden near the hotel, a lot of tropical trees, a beautiful swimming pool, a delicious breakfast, a beautiful view of El Teide. Great for a family with small children for two nights. Nice square nearby. nine0226

  The rooms are too small for 4 people, one of us slept on the couch while we paid for a 4 bed family room with beds.

  Quiet location, free shuttle to the hotel, cleanliness of the room.

  Breakfast is very monotonous. Every morning is the same. Not very tasty. Lacks an elevator.
