Guaguas are a type of public transportation commonly found in the Canary Islands, particularly on the islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. They are essentially buses that operate on fixed routes, providing an affordable and convenient way for residents and tourists to travel around the islands. Guaguas are known for their bright colors and can be seen frequently throughout urban and rural areas. The term "guagua" is derived from the Spanish word for bus, but it is also used in other Spanish-speaking regions, such as Cuba. In the Canary Islands, guaguas are an essential part of daily life, connecting various neighborhoods, towns, and popular tourist destinations, making them a vital component of local transportation networks.
