Interesting item in this Canadian Weekly article, menu prices MUST include IGIC, have seen a few that don’t.

Hopefully this has been stopped but be careful where you pack your currency and value items

Fourteen workers have been arrested and another 20 are under investigation, police on the holiday island said.

For Star Wars and Tenerife fans.

It has won 11 awards at film festivals and is premiering at cinemas in Tenerife this weekend…

Hasn’t been strictly enforced but good that it’s officially being dropped.

Mandatory use will be maintained in hospitals, medical centres, and chemists…

Anyone who has been to Tenerife these last few months will welcome this new (to be introduced) law.

The Mobility and Road Safety ordinance has been approved and will enforce new rules for privately owned and rental scooters...

Only realised that i can do these panoramic photos on my phone and they appear as 360 deg VR type photos when posted on Facebook. Here are a few from the balcony of our 2-bed apartment in Sunset Bay. Just click the photo on your phone or tablet and move side-to-side and it’s just like you are here.

Not a VISA but an extra step (and €7) for those looking to travel to the EU from May 2023

Just in case there is still confusion over UK Passport validity. You need to double-check the DATE OF ISSUE and the EXPIRY DATE to ensure all is well. Many people have been caught out by the first one as it's the ISSUE DATE that's important and must be less than 10 years from the DATE YOU ENTER (see below)

Yet more confusion over ‘quick sharers’ but ‘laxed readers’ posts on Facebook and being wildly ‘blindly shared’. I’ve been reading that unvaccinated Travellers from the UK will now be accepted in Spain if tested beforehand. This is invalid and was never said by the Spanish authorities but was misinterpreted by ‘eager sharers’.

The post below makes it clear what the rules are (although it was never a U-Turn) - Yes, 12-17s can and maybe in time this will apply to all ages (as it makes sense IMO) but NOT AT THE MOMENT.

Just a day earlier, the country had announced it would welcome all UK holidaymakers with immediate effect, with those unvaccinated against COVID-19 able to enter with a negative pre-departure test.

YES, it’s true, pretty much the final hurdle to a stress free holiday in Tenerife and should also take some pressure off UK airport checkin staff who have struggled with the recent surge in demand.

It is also true that for the vast majority of places the mandatory wearing of masks INDOORS will also been removed from Friday 20th April

This will come as a great relief for restaurant staff who have had to wear masks the whole time in hot conditions in a very busy restaurant.

Although entry requirements weren’t lifted for non-vaccinated travellers, it has been made easier again for those who have been...

HEADS UP - Anyone from the UK in Tenerife (or abroad in general) on an O2 'non-smartphone' and with NO SERVICE (calls, texts etc) - just had this on a (non-smartphone) Nokia 6303 so contacted o2 on live chat after trying lots of things myself.

Seems 'something' changed overnight (poss to do with time change) which meant roaming no longer operational. Operator was able to reset this his end and a few minutes later we got service back.

Shouldn’t effect smartphones.

May also effect other networks.
