Taxi in Tinajo
Tinajo is an inland village, between fields and lava, with the sea in two directions: to the north the coast of La Santa and Caleta de Famara, to the west the badlands. What reaches it from outside is mostly surfing and access to the volcanoes; inside, a village you walk round and a taxi you order from the dispatch.

A village with basic services
The centre gathers around the church and the square, with local shops, bars and the municipal services. It is not a beach destination and has no seafront promenade: people who stay here move by car or call a taxi for the journeys that leave the village, especially when they are not driving.
Ranks and the municipal dispatch
There is a signposted rank at the central points, but not at every exit from the village nor on the road towards the coast. The Tinajo dispatch covers the whole municipality, so the same notice works for the village and for La Santa. Keep the number to hand before you set out walking, not when you get back.
From the village to the surfing beaches
The beaches that make the area famous lie on the nearby coast, at the foot of the cliff, and there is usually no signposted rank on the way there. To arrive and, above all, to get back, order the vehicle giving the exact point and whether you are carrying a board or long gear: that way they send a car with room and you avoid impossible waits on the road.
Eruptions, badlands and trails
The landscapes of the recent eruptions and the paths across the badlands are walked from this side of the island, with the village as the nearest starting point. If you are going to walk a trail, agree the pick-up when you order the taxi and bear in mind that at the end point of the path there is no rank and nowhere to ask for a car.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a taxi rank in Tinajo? ＋
Yes, at the central points of the village, but not on every street nor on the roads that lead out towards the coast. If you do not see a car, call the Tinajo dispatch, which covers the whole municipality, or ask at your accommodation. This portal handles no bookings.
How do I get to the surfing beaches from the village? ＋
By ordering a vehicle from the dispatch and naming the specific beach and the gear you are carrying. There is no signposted rank on the road, so the pick-up point is agreed on the call; if you are returning from a session, have the number ready before you leave.
What is the best way to get back from a trail? ＋
Agree the pick-up when you order the outbound taxi, or call the dispatch with time to spare from the end point of the path. In the volcanic areas there is no rank, and the wait depends on the free cars at the time: without notice beforehand, the way back can take longer.
Is the airport far from Tinajo? ＋
The village is inland, so the journey crosses the island to the east coast and is one of the medium or long ones. The indicative figure on this page is a road estimate with the date it was checked, not a guaranteed time or a fare.
