Good to know

• Use 'TITSA' buses for a budget-friendly way to get between Santa Cruz and the South (Line 110 is the express).
• Always carry a 'Teide Bag'—a small backpack with a jacket and water, as the mountain has its own weather system.
• Download 'Taxi Click' or 'PideTaxi' apps as Uber availability can vary outside the main tourist hubs.
• Tap water is safe but often has a strong mineral taste; most locals prefer bottled or filtered water.
