  Bus To Santa Cruz
by steventilly
 
 

The TF1 motorway runs up the east coast of Tenerife linking the tourist hotspots of Las Americas with the capital Santa Cruz. Two busses make that trip, the non-stop 110 and the stopping bus the 111. What we didn't know (and nothing told us) was that the stopping bus stops not in the towns along the way, but on the motorway beside the exits for those towns.
We took one of these busses to get to Candelaria and Guimar and we began to feel apprehensive when other people were getting on and off the bus in the middle of nowhere. Sure enough when we got to Candelaria we were flung off at the motorway exit and had to walk into town from there. This wasn't too bad as it wasn't too far, but Guimar was different, it was about 6km from the motorway. We ended up taking a taxi to Guimar from Candelaria as it was way too far to walk. We got another taxi back from Guimar to the motoray exit, where we waited for the bus.
There is a button at the bus stops and you have to press it to light a sign on the motorway that tells the bus to stop! If you forget this the chances are the bus will just sail past, unaware that you are waiting for it!
