Hello,
this's my first post here, so I would like to say "Hi!" to everyone here :hello:
We're coming to Tenerife in February. It'll be our second visit to this island, but for the first time we'll spend holiday here during the Carnival. Unfortunately (from the Carnival point of view), our accommodation is in Puerto de Santiago, which is quite away from main events. Could you answer couple of questions regarding coming to Santa Cruz in this specific time of the year? Not all of them are transport related, but I don't want to create second thread in other part of forum.
My first question is, where to park car after arrival to Santa Cruz or its outskirts? I assume that there're crowds of people coming to Santa Cruz to watch Carnival events and many of them go there by car, so it might be hard to find parking areas, particularly in the center of city? Therefore, isn't it better to leave a car somewhere outside the city, close to bus stop and to reach the center with public transport? Could you suggest any such place to park the car? Alternatively, are there any special parking areas organised only for the Carnival period?
The second thing is choosing the best area of the city to watch parades. concerts or fireworks. What are your favourite spots in Santa Cruz during Carnival?
Considering the distance from Puerto de Santiago to Santa Cruz, I think we'll have to choose maximum 2 or 3 days, when we'll come to Santa Cruz. Which of the Carnival days are the most spectacular?
The last question regards Puerto de Santiago. Do you know, if any Carnival events are available there too?
I'll be grateful for your help.
Best regards, Bartek
