In February I used a Bono that was 11 months old, and it worked fine. Even after 12 months, I think you can take the old Bono to the PDLA bus station or to the Santa Cruz Intercambiador and they will...

I wonder how one can get permission to run a bus service.

The bus service from La Laguna to La Esperanza seems to be privately run, and they even use the La Laguna Titsa bus station.

But it...

I realise this is an old thread, but it's still true that you get great food and great value at Tenerife petrol station cafes. This comes as a huge surprise to everyone from the UK who is used to...

If it worked that way, it could be applied it to everything. The European Commission could hoard everything, pushing all of the prices up, and everyone would become rich and prosperous.

The olive...

It is indeed disgraceful and wrong, and there's a similar scheme in the UK (except that the period is longer).

After a property is empty for two years, UK councils can get an Empty Dwelling...

Hmm. Scroll down to the part that says "Visitors found this page by searching for...". I won't repeat the search strings in this post, in case that would increase the search engine traffic even...

Spain budget deficit: 6.9%
UK budget deficit: 8.0%

Who is most insolvent?

A regular spanish school will have a huge advantage, because your 11-year-old will make friends with other children, which will in turn help you to integrate with the locals. Even if you do go back...

Near Los Gigantes is an area called El Varadero. At the south of this area is a brown tourist sign that points to "Varadero", but it just points to a patch of wasteland. What's that all about then?

Very good, carpenter, although the collective noun is "a Wunch of Bankers".

I don't want to write in detail about my walks until I'm back in Tenerife. Then, I can check what I've written before I post it. Otherwise I might accidentally post some wrong information and send...

Unfortunately I probably won't be back until autumn. October perhaps. And don't worry, I'm not that fit, just adventurous!

...which is why some of the plantation owners are very rich, even if bananas are sold below the cost of production.

1) How much does a basic 800 gram loaf of white bread cost at Tesco?
2) What is the collective noun for a group of Bankers?
3) When will Tenerife's freeway extension finally be opened to traffic?...

I'm back in England now, otherwise I'd be giving you a shout.

I recently realised that if I drew all the walks I had done on a map, it almost linked one end of the island with the other. So a...

Not at all! There's no inheritance tax in Australia, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore or Utah.

Within Europe, there's...

I was on a flight to Tenerife when a lady in the row in front of me became quite distressed. She told the cabin crew that she'd discovered her half-full water bottle in her carry-on bag. I think she...

The TITSA buses are another option. The tiny Route 355 bus from Santiago del Teide to Masca is surely as exciting as doing it by Jeep, provided you take the seat next to the driver.

Well, Vilaflor is 1400 metres altitude, so you should be safe from tsunamis there. On the other hand, Tenerife sprouts a new volcano once every hundred years or so, which might wipe out Vilaflor.

I don't know for sure, but a Google search for
tenerife "most hours of sunshine"
has far more results for Los Gigantes than for Callao Salvaje.

Los Gigantes and Playa del Santiago have the most hours of sunshine of anywhere in Tenerife.

You won't be on the beach every day, but most days will be really nice for sunbathing.

I really like the New Years Eve party in the streets - bring twelve grapes each to eat at midnight. Also bear...

I sometimes leave my part-used Bono-bus ticket (together with a small cash tip) for the hotel maid when I leave Tenerife. I figure that most Tinerfeños can use a Bono (or know someone who can use it).

One of them approached me in the check-in queue last week at TFS. I asked him whether he was collecting timeshare leads for Silverpoint. He immediately said "Yes" but seemed to still expect me to go...

That route goes from Los Cristianos past Playa del Duque and almost to La Caleta, with just a hundred metres on the road to bypass some steps at Puerto Colon. It's quite busy, so it's for "gentle...
