Discover the good and the bad about La Longuera...

exception below...

Longuera is also the name of the suburb where it runs through. Toscal belongs to it, also.

Why so much traffic?

Right now, it is a heavy traffic street. Trucks take this convenient way to get to Los Realejos Alto, to TF5, to the coastal road to the south, to mountainous villages of the La Orotava Valley, to La Orotava, to Santa Cruz, to mount Teide and you name it...

At certain times of the day it is congested, since a short cut to the Old La Vera Road has been closed, a few years ago.

Relieve for long Mile Road Realejos to come:

Once, when the construction of the new main road will be finished, the long mile road will see less vehicles. Then, the TF5 Freeway and the section above Hotel Maritim on the Puerto de la Cruz border will be joined. Until then, half hourly public Titsa and tourist buses trail along La Longuera from all sorts of directions.

When will traffic of this important Los Realejos road be less heavy?

It's to be expected at the end of 2009.
