For the 12 October and 2 November 2026 holidays, Intercity published the Sunday timetable on every line read for those dates (line 30 for 2 November only), except market line 11, which printed no trips and is left out. On a holiday, use Sun & holidays; a published timetable is not a promise that a bus runs. Times are Canary Islands time, the island’s own clock (one hour behind mainland Spain).

                                                                                                          1. Use line 20

                                                                                                            Choose Intercity line 20 for the Arrecife–Caleta de Famara route.

Visit: The market morning in Villa de Teguise. Leg 2: Line 31 towards Caleta de Famara, which the same tab lists with its time at the Ayuntamiento de Teguise stop; that is a different stop from the market stop where line 11 sets you down, and this site has not measured the walk between them. Return: A line 31 row from Caleta de Famara back to Costa Teguise on the Return tab; line 11 also returns from the market if you skip Famara. Plan B: Line 11 runs on market Sundays only and printed no trips on the holidays, while line 31 printed trips on every date we checked, so the Famara half works on any day. Famara is a surf coast: go for the cliffs and the village, not a swim.
