tenerife for a few days.. please help.
 

i'm currently in barcelona with my girl and some friends.

we are thinking of catching a short flight to tenerife/ canary islands.

can anyone offer any ideas. what to do ? where to stay ? is it worth it ?

thanks a lot guys.

If you are looking for a party then head for Playa De Las Americas - If you like it a bit quieter then Puerto De La Cruz - Still fun but you might actually see some Spanish people here...

A trip up Mt Teide is good at this time of year - You might even get some skiing in if you are very lucky - La Gomera is worth an overnight trip as well.....

Tell me what you are looking for and I will help you out - I used to live in Puerto...

thanks bro. we are looking to party. maybe smoke drink and just have a good time.

what can we do for fun in playa de las america ? and where do we stay ?

Americas is a party town - You can find anything - Try to get near the sea - There are hundreds of hotels - Los Cristianos is the town next down the road - These days they are basically the same place - It's fine if you end up there...

Expect fish and chips - No descent tapas here!....

If you are flying from Barcelona then make sure you come into the south airport for Americas - Don't end up in the north airport, it's a long expensive taxi ride to get down to Americas...

Have a good time:):pimp.....

good luck man!

thanks man. how do i figure out what to do there.

do i just go to a hotel and start asking

sounds fun :thumbsup

Just go to the place that looks fun - You will be hit by a hundred flyers offering this and that - Follow the cool looking people - Don't pay for your first 5 drinks - Seriously...

Book before you go for accommodation - A 5 min search will find you something OK but good value, especially this time of year.....

Take all the streets to the right

hey bro what do you think about this?

HD Parque Cristobal Tenerife

https://www.hdhotels.com/en/hotels-t...que-cristobal/

I don't know it, the position looks good though...

so far im seeing cheaper flights to the north airport..

how much would it cost me from there to that hotel?

also bro sorry to bug you again, i see hotels that are nice in adeje like Iberostar Grand Hotel El Mirador | Luxury hotel Tenerife | Adults hotel

is that ok? or too far from americas?

How is that ??

A good 70 Euros - I haven't done the trip for a while...

Adje is OK - It's about 25 mins from Americas - It has it's own scene - I doubt it's what you are looking for you though...

For a few days days - Maybe.....

hey man, im in playa now with my girl/her sister..

we are staying at HD cristobal.. its nice here..

we all wanted to smoke but it looks like we have to join a club, and we arent residents?

Do you have any contacts or I can hit you up online to see how you can help... Barcelona we just walked in and bought stuff and smoked.. not sure how it works here?

Tapas. that made me laugh.

Last time we were in Barcelona my son was 7. We went to a tapas place and he wanted Mac and cheese. They brought it. like 7 pieces and he freaked.

Who servers seven pieces of mac and cheese and calls it mack and cheese. He was very upset.

bump..

:)

70 euros taxi? I do not believe there are no buses between 2 major towns on the island. Or are you that much of a spoiled brat that the only transportation you take is taxi?

buses are always a lot cheaper, or hire a car :2 cents:

& as EddyTheDog said, i've been to "Playas da las Americas" many years ago, was good fun!

Other options are head down the coast of mainland Spain to Malaga :thumbsup

They call it "Tapas", because it means "toppers". Many years back, in Madrid, the bars would put a piece of bread on top of your glass to stop the flies going in your drink. Then they followed to put a piece of salami or Iberico ham on the bread, then onwards, small dishes were created, albondigas (meat balls), tortilla (Spanish omelette), Chicken liver & onion, beef & peas, many others, fish dishes & octopus. They're just small dishes for 1 or 2 euro each, you have 5 or 6 to share between a few people, a bit of each.

I've never seen Mac & cheese on the order, but sounds funny to have seen his face when they served up such a small portion for him, the poor bugger :Oh crap :thumbsup
