TRIANA, the best shopping area on the island, starts one minute walk away, and here in the old town everything is around Casa Montesdeoca: the market hall, museums, restaurants, galleries, cafeterias, theatres, squares etc. Taxis are delightfully inexpensive and a drive to the famous Las Canteras Beach takes 10 minutes, or 15 minutes by new, smart citybikes, SITYCLETA. Plus a good bus network covers the whole island.
