| TITSA en Carnaval |
Thinking of going to the Santa Cruz Carnival in person? Then don't take the car. Apart from the fact that parking is a joke in Santa Cruz at the best of times and it is obviously safer to leave the wheels at home if you intend to imbibe a beverage or two, actually, half the fun of an outing to Carnaval can be had on the bus.
Casting my mind back to the year that, dressed as a musketeer, complete with thigh boots, cape and big hat with a feather, I passed a few enjoyable minutes engaged in a plastic sword fight on the bus with a complete stranger. :)
Every year, Tenerife bus company TITSA (no, that's NOT the Spanish branch of Trotters Independent Trading) lay on extra busses for Carnaval dates, including the famous 111 Playa de las Americas route, running right through until 4.30 a.m.
