History
The motorway TF-1 connected Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Candelaria first in the mid-1970s. In 1978 a very important extension to the new southern airport supported the creation of new villages on the south-east coast, like the small holiday resort of Abades and prepared the field for a phenomenal touristic expansion starting from Los Cristianos and extending to Las Americas. The famous town of Güímar was connected the same year. In the 1990s the TF-1 extended to Arona and later to Adeje to meet up with an increasing demand. The superhighway runs from El Rosario to San Miguel de Abona over the mountain landscape and serves mountain interchanges. The superhighway TF-1 ends in a circle southwest of Adeje since 2001, the part between Candelaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife was widened to three lanes in 2008.
