Tenerife By Bus

Bus Routes: the 470 [Los Cristianos - Grandilla] and 483 [Las Americas - El Medano] will get you here. LONJA PESQUERA LOS ABRIGOS Venta dePescado Fresco Puerto Pesquero Los Abrigos - Granadilla de Abona Telf: 922 74 92 17 I have taken photographs around Los Abrigos harbour on several occasions since I arrived and have commented on the construction of the new fish market as it progressed.
