Candelaria is a very small town, not very much happening, you will need to hire a car, I'm not sure if thats possible in Candelaria.

[kingbaker]

Thats what I thought!!! Thank you Arona1
If you're expecting a resort, you'll be sadly disappointed.:o:(

Welcome to Forum !

It´s not far from Santa Cruz , the bus service into capital will allow you access to old town or a trip in Tranvia(tram) to La Laguna - a Trip to Loro Park is also worthwhile as is a journey South to Siam Park ,water park .
Candelaria is not really a resort but a lovely Canarian town with some character but almost totally Spanish speaking.
Car hire shouldn´t be a problem if you´ve booked in advance although Easter Time will be busy.
Bike hire is possible but you are situated in an area at sea level that rapidly rises so unless you are really fit ,you won´t be going far !

Apologies for calling Candelaria a resort and not a town, my mistake. Thanks for the helpful replies.

No apologies needed. I was concerned that you might have been mis-sold a holiday package. It happened to me once....years ago. I picked an appt-hotel on a website, where the accompanying map said that the hotel was two-three k's up in the hills, on the Teide side of the motorway near Los Cris. It turned out to being in Las Americas, full of 18-21 year olds on the lash!! They were lucky that I didn't bring them to court.

If you're happy, I'm happy for you!!

Enjoy!!:hello:

Candelaria is about 60km from los cristianos/ las Americas....Take the TF 1 to junction 17 join the TF 283 candelaria/arafo.... There's Candelaria...right by the Sea....

[AdrianB]

It sounds a bit quiet there but does not seem as if bike hire, car hire, or buses should be too much of a problem.

[junglejim]

If you do use the public bus service , the main bus routes in and out of Candelaria are numbered in 120´s range on Timetable supplied by TITSA
http://titsa.com/index.php?accion=planificaViaje1
Buying a Bono Card(prepaid bus ticket) will get you a discounted fare -ticket can be bought from various local shops and 1 ticket can be used for several people .
There are plenty of nice little places nearby ,Guimar, Las Caletillas that are off the tourist track, but as stated the main Tourist Area in the south Is Los Cristianos/Las Americas.
Be aware if hiring a car , Parking is an issue-if you park illegally the Police will have you towed away by tow-truck (Grua) - they come quicker than an Ambulance and it will cost you up to €120 to get car back - daily parking in a car park isn´t expensive normally .

Use googlemaps to explore round Candelaria and other areas!

Hire a car at the airport, no need for taxis busses etc.

Hello,im new to this so forgive me if im posting in the wrong place and what not.im wandering if anyone knows anything about working in tenerife from october onwards?im working the summer season in magaluf but would be interested in winter work aswell.thanks in advance

[imablue]

First thing is getting a job,that is the crux, you could spend half a year here and not get decent employment...

[rossweller]

Ok thanks for the info and reply.im assuming the way to go about it is to actually get myself over there and have a look around.cant really think of any other option tbh lol

[imablue]

Correct ..but i think somehow as you said in your post you maybe posting in the wrong thread but the post i gave still stands..and it is not easy to find good employment.

[rossweller]

Ok bud,thanks for your help!!
