How to reach the centre of Seville Tenerife
Flying from Sevilla to Tenerife typically means landing at Tenerife South Airport (Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur), located approximately 20 kilometres south of the island's main resort area of Playa de las Américas. The journey from the airport into the city centre is straightforward, with several reliable transport options to suit your budget and schedule.
The most economical choice is the public bus service, operated primarily by TITSA, which serves routes throughout the island. Buses depart directly from the airport terminal and cost around €5–€7 for journeys to Playa de las Américas or Puerto de la Cruz; travel time typically ranges from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on your destination. Taxis are readily available at the airport rank, with fixed fares to Playa de las Américas (approximately €25–€30) and Puerto de la Cruz (€35–€45), though journey times vary between 20 and 40 minutes.
Car hire desks operate within the arrivals terminal if you prefer independent exploration, and ride-sharing services such as Uber operate across the island. For travellers arriving from Sevilla seeking convenience, pre-booking a taxi or car transfer can eliminate queuing and provide peace of mind after your flight.

Local cuisine in Seville Tenerife
Canarian cuisine, deeply rooted in island tradition and fresh Atlantic catches, awaits visitors flying in from Sevilla. The culinary culture emphasises simple, honest flavours using local produce, seafood, and age-old cooking techniques refined over centuries. You'll find papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes boiled in sea salt) served everywhere, traditionally paired with vibrant mojo picón (a spicy red pepper sauce) or creamy mojo verde (fresh coriander and garlic).
Fresh fish dominates restaurant menus: vieja (parrotfish), cherne (grouper), and pez espada (scabbardfish) are grilled simply or prepared in hearty stews. Gofio, a toasted grain flour, appears in both sweet and savoury dishes, whilst caldo de pescado (fish soup) warms visitors on cooler evenings. Local cheeses, often made from goat's milk, pair beautifully with island wines.
Don't miss these authentic Canarian specialities:
- Ropa vieja – shredded meat with tomato and peppers
- Conejo en salmorejo – rabbit stewed in wine and herbs
- Caldo de verduras – hearty vegetable broth
- Sancocho – salt fish and potato stew
- Queso de cabra – local goat's cheese
- Ron miel – local honey rum, perfect as a digestif
