I
arrived
in
Tenerife
on
30th
September
2015
and
took
the
local
buses
from
TFS
airport
in
the
south
of
the
island
to
Costa
del
Silencio,
where
I
based
myself
in
a
friend’s
apartment.
Thank
you
my
friend
and
ex
Mediterranean
crew
member
Inga.
I
departed
the
island
on
3rd
December 2016.
The Canary Islands:
The
main
islands
are
(from
largest
to
smallest)
Tenerife,
Fuerteventura,
Gran
Canaria,
Lanzarote,
La
Palma,
La Gomera and El Hierro.
Tenerife:
Tenerife
is
the
largest
and
most
populous
island
of
the
seven
Canary
Islands.
It
is
also
the
most
populated
island
of
Spain,
with
a
land
area
of
2,034.38
square
kilometres
and
898,680 inhabitants.
About
five
million
tourists
visit
Tenerife
each
year,
the
most
of
any
of
the
Canary
Islands.
It
is
also
one
of
the
most
important
tourist
destinations
in
Spain.
Tenerife
is
served
by
two
airports,
Tenerife
North
Airport
and
Tenerife
South
Airport.
Santa
Cruz
de
Tenerife
is
the
capital
of the island.
Costa Del Silencio:
Located on the south coast, this
base for my two month stay on the
island. The resort now known as
Costa del Silencio was one of the
first areas of Tenerife to be
specifically developed for tourism.
This occurred during the late 1960s.
Sightseeing:
Whilst on the island I shall see all
that I possibly can, for the most part
using public transport, but for maybe
2-3 days renting a car to get to the
more inaccessible places.
Places visited by bus:
Las Gallatas, Los Cristianos, Costa
Adeje, Playa de Las Americas, El
Medano, Candelaria, Santa Cruz,
La Laguna, Puerto De La Cruz, La
Orotavia, Icod and Garachico.
