Candelaria is easily accessible from other parts of Tenerife due to its proximity to the island’s main road network. The town is approximately 20 minutes by car from the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and about 30-40 minutes from Tenerife North Airport (Los Rodeos). Public buses also frequently connect Candelaria with other major towns and cities on the island, making it easy for visitors without cars to explore the area.
Once in Candelaria, the town is small enough to explore on foot, with the main attractions, including the basilica, beaches, and promenade, all within walking distance. For those wishing to explore the surrounding regions, car rental services are widely available, and taxis are a convenient option for getting around town.
The island of Tenerife itself is well-connected to mainland Spain and Europe, with regular flights from major cities like Madrid and Barcelona, as well as direct flights to several international destinations.
