There are major changes to the No.18 bus route for at least the rest of 2010, due to the collapse of part of the GC60 during a thunderstorm on February 1st. The No.18 route will now run from Maspalomas to Ayacata as usual, then continue on the GC600 past Roque Nublo to Cruz de Tejeda, before continuing onto Tejeda and San Mateo. This means that all walks in the guide can still done using buses except for walk 7, the El Aserredor circle. Since the road closure there have been several changes to the timetable, so do check locally before using the Global No.18 bus service.

Full details can be found on the Global Bus company website.

In short buses now leave Maspalomas at 08.00, 11.00, 15.00 and 19.00 (18.00 on Sunday) every day and finish in Ayacata.

Buses leave Ayacata at 09.30, 12.30 and 17.00 every day except Sunday when the last 2 buses are at 16.30 and 19.30.

If you are using a car you must now drive as normal from Maspalomas to Ayacata on the GC60, then turn right at the Church, drive past Roque Nublo on the GC600, then just past La Cumbre restaurant turn left, then turning left again at Cruz de Tejeda to descend to Tejeda town.
