Ridge paths, old towns and the bus you actually need
Based in Puerto de la Cruz.
Tomasz came to Tenerife on a six-week hiking trip in 2011 and has been based in Puerto de la Cruz since, walking the Anaga ridge trails and the Teide crater routes in most weather. He writes up the island's old towns and museums with the practical parts attached: which TITSA bus, what the Teide cable car does when the wind picks up, and when a permit is needed for the summit path.
A paid permit is now required for the last stretch to Teide's summit, and the slots go fast. You can still book one if you know when new places appear, and there are other walks for when they have gone.
