The road from Las galettas to el Fraille (or vice versa) is closed .
Must be the waives that crached and made a whole under the road .

Yes, of course they have, but it is always commandeered as a carnival float in winter.

The Tenerife Cabildo has announced that the Masca road is now open again after the recent storms.

Also reopened is the Afur road, though restricted to residents and basic service vehicles.

The La Orotava road to Teide remains closed.

In view of the Orange Alerts in place for gales today and torrential rain tomorrow, the Tenerife Cabildo has recommended that the public avoids unnecessary journeys, and in particular that people should stay away from the Teide national park due to the extreme gusts of winds, up to 120 km per hour.

The TF21 (Chio-La Orotava road) through the crater remains closed from the rockfalls caused by the last storm at the beginning of February.

The Guaza bypass is closed, as is the "back road" to Cristianos, and the Buzanada/Valle San Lorenzo road too.. (At least it was still closed about 45 minutes ago)

Due to what looks like another mud slide under the bridge at Guaza. You can get off the motorway at Guaza and go through the village. BUT coming from the south, you will have to go up to Parque de la Reina, to get on the westbound TF1
