Times read from the operator’s line pages on 12 Oct 2026; shown until 26 Nov 2026. On a public holiday TIADHE runs its "Domingos, Festivos" table, the Sun & holidays tab. The Canary public holidays in this timetable's window are 12 October and 2 November 2026 (Gobierno de Canarias calendar), and the next bus follows that tab on those days; municipal holidays vary and are not mapped here, so on a local holiday read Sun & holidays yourself. Trips keyed "no festivos" are already left off it. TIADHE prints departure times only; the bus reaches intermediate stops later. Times are Canary Islands time, the island’s own clock (one hour behind mainland Spain).

What to see once you arrive

Official tourism describes Betancuria, founded in 1404, as one of the Canary Islands’ key colonial landmarks: the church of Santa María de la Concepción, the former Franciscan convent of San Buenaventura, the Museum of Sacred Art and the island’s archaeology museum.

A stop on the way: Tefía

The line 2 map has a stop named Ecomuseo Tefía in both directions, between the Casillas stops and Entra Betancuri. If you want to combine it with Betancuria, check that the gap between two line 2 trips leaves enough time for both.

TIADHE’s reduced-mobility timetable lists ramp-equipped departures for lines 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10, but not line 2. If you need a ramp, call TIADHE’s information line before the day to ask what is possible.
