Location
Granadilla de Abona is located in the south of Tenerife, between the second highest mountain of the island, the Guajara, and the Atlantic Ocean. The town lies in a dry, desertlike environment.
Economy
Tourism is the main source of income, not least by the presence of Reina Sofia Airport, the main airport of Tenerife. In addition there is some agriculture: for example grains, vegetables, fruit (mainly oranges) and potatoes are cultivated.
Airports
Reina Sofia Airport is the biggest and busiest airport of Tenerife, where many vacation flights arrive and leave. It's situated seven kilometers south of Granadilla de Abona and is easily reachable by rental car. From the town you follow the TF-64. At San Isidro you then take highway TF-1 (Autopista del Sur). The airport lies right off this highway and the exit is clearly signposted.
Public Transport
The modern airconditioned busses of Interurbanos de Tenerife S.A. (TITSA) connect all important places on Tenerife. The ride may take a while because there are many stops. There's an express bus service between the popular beach Playa de las Americas in the south (west of Granadilla de Abona) and the capital Santa Cruz in the north.
Traffic and Parking
The main road on Tenerife consists of two highways: Autopista del sur and Autopista del norte. Together they almost form a closed beltway, only in the mountainous west the road gets smaller.
Parking can be a problem on Tenerife. Double parking is very common in the large tourist centers. If for this reason you can't leave, don't get upset: blow your horn and the other driver will appear to move his car. For long parking it's recommended to park your rental car in one of the many parking garages. It's not only safer, but your car is also not parked in the bright sun.
Hotels
There is a limited supply of accommodation in Granadilla de Abona. Most hotels and vacation resorts on Tenerife can be found along the popular beaches. Tenerife draws tourists all year round. It's therefore recommended to book your hotel room well in advance.
