You can drive to Las Carboneras or catch the bus there on the 075 from La Laguna. There are six buses every weekday and three on Saturdays and Sundays. Consult the Titsa.com website or timetable for times of these services.
If you feel more adventurous you might like to walk there from Cruz del Carmen which is also up in the mountains of Tenerife's north or an uphill hike from the coastal town of Punta del Hidalgo.
However you get to Las Carboneras, once there you might fancy getting a meal and having a drink. This you can do in the excellent Restaurante Tesegre which is open every day of the week.
This restaurant is very popular with hikers and when I was last there a walking party of around hot and thirsty 20 Germans with their guide arrived. They had obviously already booked their tables, and water, wine and bread rolls were waiting for them ahead of their meals that were soon to get served.
Meals are really good and typical Canary Islands cuisine. The prices are very reasonable too and for just 12.75€ between us a friend and myself had Garbanzos (chick peas served with meat and potatoes in a sauce), Potaje (a rich and filling vegetable soup), plenty of fresh bread, wine and a bottle of beer.
The village of Las Carboneras has a small square complete with its own church, and there is also a school, but no shops.
