Buenas r/Tenerife! Sadly I flew home yesterday, but I had a really lovely time on your beautiful island the last 18 days. I only wish I could've stayed for longer. Everything was been so beautiful and the people so nice, that it was sad that a foreigner had to mar my very last day.
Yesterday afternoon at around 1.25pm I was walking along the roadside from La Tejita to El Medano, and a middle-aged male cyclist slowed down and stared at me as he passed in the opposite direction. I was sleazed on by weird old guys several times on this holiday so I didn't think anything of it. Then about 30 seconds later I saw he had turned around and he passed me again, then ditched his bike at the roadside and started walking towards the beach where he would cross my path. I decided to sit down and enjoy the view for a few minutes until he went away, hoping he'd get the hint.
He lingered weirdly instead, kind of like he was looking at the beach but also at me, but I didn't have all day to wait around, so I got up and carried on my way. He walked down closer towards the path I was on, stopped in front of a bush and his hands went towards his groin. I was like, seriously, this guy's going to choose here and now to take a piss in the bush, but when I passed him a few metres away I could see fine well what he was actually doing out of the corner of my eye, so without even looking round at him I flipped him a middle finger as I passed.
It was at this point that he started saying - quite aggressively - 'watch me then, watch me' in what to me sounded like a Lancashire (or nearby) accent. I said 'you're fucking desperate pal' and he replied 'yes I am desperate, watch me, watch me'. I said - not looking round at him one this whole time, 'you couldn't frighten children with that you pathetic old loser', and carried on walking up towards the main road. I swerved to towards where he'd left his bike, but he clocked that pretty quick and rushed to get it - damn, I quite fancied jumping on it a bit for fun, it looked expensive. He did however then come close enough to me that I got some decent pics of him - attached below, hopefully. There's a tattoo on the inner left arm if anyone's good with sharpening up that kind of thing. Also the cock itself was on the thin and pointy side, not much head to it, a bit weirdly shiny and pink-looking - kind of like when your dug's lipstick comes out. The (literal) wanker couldn't cycle away quick enough, he seemed to have gone all shy all of a sudd

Furthermore, if they do deliver to the Canaries, the Spanish post Correos takes weeks and months to deliver the package (if at all).
This is completely ridiculous. We want to change this as soon as possible!
We are starting a company called DeliveryPool. We provide you with an address on mainland Spain, there you can collect 5 packages from different online stores. We do the customs and guarantee fast shipping to The Canaries (7 days to 48 hours). You can pool multiple parcels at your DeliveryPool address, which we bundle into one delivery. This makes it economical.
We plan to launch the service as soon as possible, hopefully in April. The faster we get the first 1.000 people on our early access list, the faster we can hire people and rent distribution centers in Santa Cruz, Madrid and Huelva.
If you hate the current situation when it comes to online shopping and deliveries from Spain, U.K. and EU, please send me a DM or go to deliverypool.eu. I will put you on our early access list, so you will be one of the first to join.
Thanks for your support, let's solve this together!! 😎
Hi,
I feel like I am banging my head against the wall here and I would massively appreciate any experience and advice any of you might have.
I am travelling to Tenerife in March and of course want to make sure that I bring my prescription across borders legally. Entering and exiting the UK is not much of an issue, however I'm stuck on the Spanish border part.
I have with no success attempted to contact the Spanish consulates and embassy in the UK for days and haven't managed to speak to a single person.
I emailed the Spanish drug control agency directly as stated in the minimal information I could find on the embassy's website, they have responded to me that I need to apply for a license through the consulate, so here we are...
I've looked into cannabis clubs in tenerife, however I will be travelling alone with my 9 year old son so it's unfortunately not an option.
I'm feeling quite deflated at this point having to go through this to enter a country where cannabis is mostly legal with my legal prescription 😕
UPDATE: I've received an email response from the consulate in Manchester, advising me that I need to contact the Spanish drug control agency (who I already contacted, and was told I need to apply through the consulate) to apply for the license.
The main issue here is whether Cannabis/THC would be considered a narcotic and/or psychoactive drug under Spanish legislation, as in that case a license will be needed. I have asked the question in all my correspondence, but have yet to receive an answer.
I'm planning on going to Tenerife this weekend or next. I'd like to stay somewhere where I can meet other digital nomads and date women. I'm 30s male, will be staying at least a few weeks. Any tips on what areas I should focus on? I'm not interested in clubs, but would like to be near other people in a similar lifestage. Research I've done so far suggests the South corner, West side, near Playa de las Americas might be best. Is that right? Any other tips?
(I'm probably planning an airbnb to start. I'd love to do a co-living place, but they seem to be booked up for months. Any tips on specific places also appreciated.)
Both seem to be great options, wondering if anyone has been to both and can share some insight?
So far I’ve figured out the following…
Tenerife:
- Larger island than Madeira so more to explore
- Larger DN community than Madeira
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the most popular city for DMs
- Puerto de la Cruz also popular but more of a surf town vibe
- Slightly warmer weather than Madeira since it’s further south
- Not quite as tropical/lush as Madeira but still beautiful landscapes
- Nicer beaches than Madeira
- Spanish speaking, obviously
Madeira
- What’s stated above, and…
- Funchal is the most popular city for DNs
- Ponta Do Sol also popular but more of a smaller nomad village so less variety and infrastructure than Funchal
- Portuguese speaking, obviously
I only have 6 weeks total so I’d rather pick one island as a home base and then possibly fly to one or two other islands over the weekends. More about me: 29M working in tech, big into electronic music, hiking and fitness, socializing.
Thanks
We have booked flight and hotel to Tenerife and we are staying in Costa Adeje. We are 6 people and all of us are 17, except for one which is 18. I am wondering if it would be possible to come into night clubs in Costa Adeje or Playa de las americas area, even though we are 17? Does anybody know how strict they are with ID, or does anybody have experience?
