Bus Route: 470[Los Cristianos] to Las Galletas' Return: 470[Granadilla] to Los Abarigos however a taxi (Fare12 €  at the time)  was required as the event finished after the last bus (about 20:00 hrs). As I mentioned in my last blog, 'Los Cristianos for Christmas', I was going to have a trip into Las Galletas (p.Gayetta) s I had seen that they were having a Christmas Festival too.  The 'English speaking' newspaper 'Island Connections'  (http://www.islandconnections.eu/)  which is published fortnightly keeps a diary of events around Tenerife and is a very useful source of information. It is available from newsagent

The 'Bus street station' There is a 'Titsa' Info cabin  here Bus Route: 470[Los Cristianos] - the scenic way or 483[Costa Adeje] Return: 483[El Medano] or 470[Granadilla] - the scenic way. View my 'Los Cristianos for Christmas' Photo Album Hola, familiares y amigos, Well this is the last one before Christmas as possibly the year so I thought that I would complete the route 470 run west to it terminus in Los Cristianos. I noticed that they were having a day of festivities on Sunday 18 th and as Patrick's mum and his friend Lee have come out for Christmas I thought that I would take them along for the day.  I decided that we would catch the slower 470 so that they could view some of the coastline and villages along the route rather than the 483 which goes around Golf del Sur then up along the 'Autopista' (motorway) to Los Cristianos.  We ambled down from the bus station past the 'Cultural Centre' where I not

Bus Route: 470[Los Cristianos] Return: 470[Granadilla] View my Photo Album of the journey Ola Amigos, Well here we are 6 weeks into my stay and the sea is as fascinating as ever as I type this there is a blue haze on the horizon and the sun is glinting off the waves and absolutely nothing in sight. I should be a novelist typing in front of my open window – perfect for inspiration. The temperatures have cooled slightly and there is often a chilly breeze of an evening on this part of the island. I am told that this is not experienced further up the coast at Los Christianos and Play America which is probably why they built them there. The Christmas lights were switched on at the beginning of December and I have updated the 'Los Abrigos' album. As I mentioned we had two public holidays last week the Tuesday and the Thursday.

Bus Routes: 470[Granadilla] to San Isidro, 111[Santa Cruz] Return: 111[Costa Adeje] to San Isidro), 470[Los Cristianos] to Las Abrigos.

Well this week I managed to complete route 111 all the way to Santa Cruz and back and discovered that the longer the trip the cheaper it gets using the BonoBus ticket. When I went to Candilara it cost me about 3,60 Euros and this time it cost me 2,90 € . Catching the 470 (1.05 € ) to San Isidro then the 111 north. I was somewhat deflated when I returned and it cost me 3,95 € back to San Isidro however when I caught the 470 back to Los Abrigos it was free. As I mentioned before the BonoBus ticket is credited with 12 € and one can supplement the balance with cash if there is not enough credit left. I have always made sure that I have had substantial credit as I was not confident en
