Getting to Tenerife (flight information)
There are two airports on the island of Tenerife, one on the north side (Tenerife Norte, TFN, also known as "Aeropuerto de Los Rodeos") and the other one on the south of the island (Tenerife Sur, TFS, also known as "Aeropuerto Reina Sofia"). Both airports are at about 2.5 hours flying time from Madrid, and about 3 hours from Barcelona.
La Laguna lies 5 Km from TFN, and 65 Km from TFS, with a motorway link covering the full journey in both cases. The easiest access is from the northern airport (TFN) along the TF-5 motorway and it takes about 10 min.
Online information about flights arriving at or departuring from the spanish airports is obtained at the AENA site.

Bus desk (labelled TITSA) is located at the extreme north side of the terminal and the bust stop is just outside of the terminal in front of the Bus desk. The journey to Sta. Cruz bus station is about 40 min.
From there, the most convenient option is to reach La Laguna is to take the Tramp (“tranvía”) as it is really comfortable and the end of the line is very close to Hotel La Laguna Nivaria (3 min. walk).

Cruz (East exit facing to the sea) you will see the Tramp station (it is the terminal station). Your destination is “La Trinidad”, the other end of Line 1.
