How to get from Tenerife North Airport to the cities of the island

Tenerife North Airport is not very popular among Russian tourists place, since most flights from our country arrive at Yuzhny. However, many fly through European cities, so they may end up in Severny.

If you want to get from Tenerife North Airport, then to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife it will cost about 2.5–3 euros, to La Laguna - about 2.5 euros, to Puerto de la Cruz – almost 5 euros. Naturally, prices can change over time, but this does not happen often.

There is one bus carrier on the island. You can use lines 102, 107, 108, 343.

Bus 102 goes from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to the North Airport, then to Puerto de la Cruz and back. The bus is an express bus, in addition, it runs around the clock, during the day - at intervals of about 30 minutes, at night - less often. Bus 107 takes you from the airport to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Buenavista. It runs only a few times a day (if you need a schedule, leave a comment), but it also allows you to get to La Orotava. Another infrequent bus is from Puerto de la Cruz airport to Icod de los Vinos. There are also about 10 flights per day, but with stops in rare cities. Bus 343 connects the north and south of the island. You can take it from Tenerife North Airport to South Airport, as well as from Puerto de la Cruz to Los Cristianos. He walks from early morning until late evening, but quite rarely during the day.

How much does it cost to get from Tenerife Norte airport to the center by taxi?

In Spain there are taxis with official rates, so you can calculate in advance how much your taxi ride from Tenerife airport to the city will cost. There are two tariffs: the first is for weekdays from 6 am to 10 pm. The second is at night and on weekends. The minimum cost of a trip for the first is 3.15 euros, for the second - 3.45 euros. Per kilometer at the first tariff you will have to pay 0.55 euros, at the second - 0.63. Perhaps over time prices will rise slightly, but this happens extremely rarely. Waiting also costs money - a few euros for every 15 minutes. In addition, everyone who arrives at or leaves the airport must pay an additional 1.7 euros, and trips to holidays– December 24, 25 and January 5. In general, a taxi is not a very profitable mode of transport, unless you are getting to a neighboring city. Buses are much more convenient to use.

Cozy and quiet town Los Gigantes is located on the west coast of Tenerife - the largest island of the Canary archipelago. At the foot of the giant cliffs "Acantilado de Los Gigantes", a 500-meter wall that breaks off to the Atlantic Ocean, and stretches along the coast for 10 kilometers. Due to its location, Los Gigantes is protected by a mountain range from northern winds and is located some distance from the noisy tourist center of Las Americas, which gives the holiday in this place a certain originality, which we will talk about now.

In fact, the resort, which tourists call Los Gigantes, consists of three administrative entities (La Arena, Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes). Once upon a time these were completely separate settlements that merged into one due to rapid growth.

You can get to Los Gigantes from the South Airport either by taxi (about 55 euros) or by bus with a transfer at the bus station in Las Americas.
To do this, at the South Airport you need to take bus 111, which runs from 6:20 to 22:20 every half hour (and later at 23:20, 00:20, 1:05, 3:20, 4:55). Or take buses 450 or 343 (they run according to their own schedule). Get to the bus station in Las Americas and take bus 477 (fastest) or 473.

The trip will cost approximately 7-8 euros in total and will take about 2 hours.
But this year the time spent on the road should be reduced even more. Since the builders promise to complete the construction of the Utopista No. 1 expressway all the way to Los Gigantes.

Climate in Los Gigantes

I think I won’t be wrong if I call Los Gigantes the most comfortable place in Tenerife in terms of climate. Huge rocks protect it from the north from cold air masses. And the slopes of the Teide volcano protect from the annoying eastern winds, which cause some inconvenience to the residents of the capital Santa Cruz and the whole east coast Tenerife.

Fluctuations in air and water temperature in Los Gigantes

In Los Gigantes the difference between winter and summer temperatures is minimal. As a rule, in winter the air warms up to 17-19 degrees, and in summer up to 23-25.

The water temperature is even more stable, since the island in this place is washed by the warm Atlantic current. In winter, the ocean here has a temperature close to 18 degrees, in summer the water reaches a temperature of 22 degrees. It rains extremely rarely, and the sun shines almost constantly.

Where to live?

There are no luxury five-star hotels in Los Gigantes. Yes and simply big hotels There are a few of them here. Of these, the most popular is the four-star "Be Live Playa La Arena", located near the city beach "Playa de la Arena". And also a hotel "Luabay Costa los Gigantes"

But most vacationers rent apartments in Los Gigantes, of which there are a great many. And you can find accommodation to suit every taste.

Sights of Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes small town, built up mainly with low-rise apartment hotels and low-rise buildings in a provincial style.

Even at the height of the season, there are few people here and there is no resort bustle, such as, for example, in Las Americas. But everything you need for a comfortable stay is available. Lots of cafes, restaurants and shops where you can eat and buy everything you need.

The only thing that Los Gigantes does not have is noisy night parties and discos. Therefore Los Gigantes is favorite place rest of sedate English and German tourists.

However, for those who want to have fun, covering the distance of 25 kilometers to Las Americas is not difficult.

All tourists coming to Los Gigantes must visit the local port, which is considered the largest on the coast.

Beaches in Los Gigantes

Since the entire coast of Tenerife is formed by the solidified lava of the Teide volcano, there are not many natural beaches here. And all of them are covered with black sand, which is volcanic rock worn down by waves and winds.

Popular tourist destinations such as Las Americas also have white sand beaches. But they are all artificial. Sand was brought here from the Sahara on barges.

Los Gigantes has three beaches and all of them have black sand. The first - Playa de los Guyos - is located between the port and the cliffs.

The other is the smallest "Playa Chica" - in Puerto de Santiago.

And the most popular and comfortable city beach, Playa de la Arena, is well known in Tenerife. Tourists come here even from Las Americas to lie on the signature black sand, which gets very hot in the sun. And jump on the ocean waves. And they come here all the time, since the beach does not have breakwaters.

conclusions

Los Gigantes is a cozy, quiet resort with comfortable weather in both winter and summer. Suitable for those who do not like fuss and noisy entertainment.

The town of Puerto de Santiago

Puerto de Santiago has a different character. There are fewer tourists here than in Los Gigantes - only a few hotels have been built here. Mostly Canarians live in the town. Puerto de Santiago is a very cozy city, all its buildings are built in the same Mediterranean style. It was formed on the site of a fishing settlement, and today, as before, the fishing craft flourishes there. The fresh catch ends up in local restaurants. There are no equipped beaches within the town; vacationers prefer to swim at a nearby resort.

The resort town of Playa de la Arena

Playa de la Arena is located south of its neighbors, in a rocky, sunny bay. This resort is preferred by the British and Germans, most often - family vacationers. The main attraction is La Arena Beach, the best in the city and the most crowded.

Lena and I moved to live in this area.

Beaches of Los Gigantes with marks on the map

The beaches of this tourist area meet the needs of lovers of tranquility, comfort and warm waters.

Playa de los Guyos

Natural pool

Playa Los Chocos

Playa de la Arena

La Arena (Playa de la Arena) – great beach: sandy, the cleanest in Tenerife. A natural bay covers it with a wall of high rocks, but there are waves here, and quite serious ones. For small children, only a strip of two to three meters wide along the shore is safe - then the depth begins. There are a lot of people in the afternoon.

The sun is active here (protective cream is necessary both on the beach and on regular walks). The black volcanic sand becomes very hot by lunchtime, and it becomes difficult to walk on it. For the comfort of vacationers, wooden paths are laid all around, umbrellas and sun loungers are equipped. Toilet is paid – €0.20. The length of the sand strip is 160 by 60 m. For comfort, the Arena beach was awarded “ Blue Flag" Lifeguards are constantly on duty here, water safety information flags are posted, and medical assistance is available.

Playa Los Chocos (closed)

In the town of Puerto de Santiago there is only one small beach - Playa los chocos. The strip of volcanic sand covers an area of 65 by 25 m. This miniature recreation area is located in the waters of the old fishing port of Puerto Santiago. This is natural sand beach Without any special amenities, tourists don’t visit often; it’s mostly locals who relax here.

The beach always smells like sewage, maybe that's why it was closed to swimming.

Playa de Los Guyos

This triangular beach of about 2400 m² is located at the foot of rock cliffs on the outskirts of Los Gigantes, between the small port and the cliffs. This is not the most popular vacation spot by the water - only tourists living nearby relax there. The street leading to the beach is Calle los Guios.

Playa de los Guios is famous for its stunning scenery and unusually warm water. The coastal waves here are actually several degrees warmer than on neighboring beaches. The water is heated by sun-hot rocks submerged several tens of meters into the ocean. On the beach you can rent sun loungers, deck chairs, umbrellas, and catamarans.

Natural pool

The ocean that rages off the western shores of Tenerife often deprives vacationers of the opportunity to swim - the waves become too dangerous. Locals came up with a decent way out of the situation. Between the rocks and the ridge of solidified lava not far from the shore, a kind of huge “bathtub” formed. People supplemented the natural fencing of the natural pool with a concrete side. It became a barrier to the ocean elements.

The bathhouse is located away from the road. There is a sign at the parking lot leading to the gate to the beach. You can sunbathe here on a concrete side covered with algae, on a small stone platform or lumpy rocks. It’s calm and safe inside the sea “bath” - high waves They hit the concrete barrier, burst into splashes in the sun and retreat, leaving thousands of bubbles in the pool. Both the sight and the sensations are amazing.

Weather in Los Gigatnes

The climate of this place is ideal - very soft and stable. Temperature fluctuations throughout the year are no more than seven degrees (from +21 to +28 °C). The resort is perfectly protected from the wind: from the north - by the huge Teide volcano, from the west - by the grandiose rock formations of Los Gigantes. The water temperature throughout the year ranges from +19°C to +23°C.
