Farmacia Ancheta
About
Meet Farmacia Ancheta, a pharmacy in Tenerife. The counter sits at C. de José María Balcells, 16, 38203 La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the island's northern university city.
A 3.7 out of 5 average from 70 customer reviews gives a fair picture of what to expect at the counter. La Laguna lies inland from Santa Cruz, so the pharmacy serves a residential and student population rather than a beachfront crowd, and it sits well away from the southern resorts around Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, El Médano and Los Gigantes. Visitors can call in for prescription medicine and over-the-counter remedies, and the staff dispense the everyday supplies that travellers run short of.
Opening hours are not part of this listing, so it is worth checking before making a special trip. The pharmacy maintains a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/anchieta.farm, which carries its contact details.
Tenerife's mild subtropical climate delivers warm, sunny weather for most of the year, so a pharmacy stop rarely needs to work around severe conditions. Spring and autumn bring warm days with fewer visitors, and the north of the island is cloudier than the south, which is worth knowing if you are based in La Laguna rather than on the coast. Spanish is the everyday language of the island, so a few words of it help when describing symptoms at the counter.
