 Post subject: Some pics of La Laguna |
 |
|
La Laguna is the city in the north that I fell in love with when I first came to Tenerife and stayed there on holiday twice.
Here are some photos I took on the weekend.

That's a VERY familiar stretch of highway Bard...
La Laguna is definitely not a bad little city. It has some nice pedestrian zones, shops and old buildings.
The only problem is I always get lost for hours on end. There aren't any good landmarks and the streets seem straight but actually curve around all over the place. Actually most locals [from El Puerto] can't even navigate around it!  |

Funny you should say that because I got lost once when I was staying at the pensíon in El Coromoto and had said goodnight to my friend who lived in another part. I felt such a fool having to phone her to come and rescue me! I don't feel so bad after what you've told me! 
I've had a few times it's taken me a lot longer to get from A to B there too but I think I more or less know my way round now. The motorway is a good landmark for dividing it up and finding the bus station.
I have walked to La Laguna from San Andres so know the roads in and have walked the reverse direction to Cruz del Carmen.

Thanks! I didn't realise there were any "English residents" although I suppose there must be!

Thank you, Steph! I am very glad I have made you smile with this thread!
Yes, La Laguna was my first introduction to Tenerife and it made such a big impression on me that I wanted to live here!
