Buenavista del Norte sees rise in tourists

Not huge numbers, as in the resorts, but nevertheless an increasing number, with 3,952 visiting the Tourist Information Office, which opened in the summer of 2005, in the corner of the town's central, Plaza de Los Remedios during 2006.

The majority of these visitors, some 2,255, according to the tourist office' figures were British or German, while the rest were from the Spanish mainland.

Surprisingly, November was their busiest month so far, with a total 484 visitors, which works out to an average of 23 people per day. Pop in before they get too busy!

As well as providing information on things to see and do in the Buenavista del Norte and Teno areas, in various languages including English, their shop - a replica of the village stores that are traditional in the islands - offers local produce, such as cheeses from Teno Alto or wines from El Palmar.
