With self-organised accommodation, there is something for everyone. There are many accommodation options in all price ranges and for all requirements.I will be happy to send you some options or further websites.
It would make sense to book in the Los Llanos, Tazacorte, Tinizara, Puntagorda and Las Tricias areas.There are many small holiday homes that participants could also share, write to me if you are interested.
Flights
