Your day in Tenerife, planned the way a local would
Naira is a guide from Tenerife. You say what you fancy — beaches and rock pools, trails, museums and old towns, a fiesta, or a bit of everything — where you are starting from, whether you have a car and who is coming, and she builds the day: where to go and in what order, where to eat nearby and how to get back.
Plan my dayWhat she takes into account
- By car or by bus. Without a car she tells you the stop and the bus lines for each place, and when the last bus home leaves, from the official TITSA timetable.
- With kids or without. Beaches carry their official safety classification, the day leans towards places that work for children, and she tells you when a museum may feel long for them.
- The fiestas of all 31 towns. Romerías, verbenas and patron-saint days, with the programme once the town hall publishes it — and the day can be built around one.
- Nothing made up. Places and routes come from the open data of the Cabildo de Tenerife, the weather from AEMET. If Naira does not know an opening time, she says so.
Behind her: 642 places to visit, 356 places to eat and 92 fiestas on record across the island.

Naira answers in English. Place and fiesta names stay as they are written on the signs, and the few words that have no good translation are explained instead:
- Romería — an ox-cart pilgrimage: carts, traditional dress, wine and food handed out along the way. The arrival is where everyone ends up, not the start.
- Verbena — an open-air dance that runs late, with a live band in the square.
- Guachinche — a small family place, often the front room of a farmhouse, serving their own wine and two or three home dishes.
