Tenerife Markets
A Tenerife Market for every day of the week!
The markets have become a living part of Tenerife, not only in big cities, but also in smaller towns.
Away from the heat of the summer is a prefect a time to get into comfortable clothes and visit the bustling markets of North and South Tenerife.
You should always try bargaining, especially with leather goods. It may well work – you have fun buying, and with luck you’ll have managed to save your pennies. By the way, if you find yourself getting tired, find a fruit stand to recharge.

Fishing in Tenerife
Tenerife Carp Fishing Experience  Take a tip up the mountains in San Miguel for a relaxing half day carp fishing. There are many reservoirs up in the mountains, heavily stocked with fish, including, common carp, mirror carp, grass carp and freshwater bass. Sizes range from around a pound to over 30.  You can be picked up outside your boat, hotel or Tenerife apartment, taken to the reservoir and everything will be provided for you, including tackle and bait.
The carp fishing option is not available at the moment. Keen anglers have been waiting for some time for the new owners to make a decision as to whether they will continue with fishing.
That basically leaves you with 3 options: Fishing for fun, shore or boat or the more extreme sport fishing for those who are physically able – and very little in between.
Keen anglers will no doubt enjoy the Sports Fishing trips, going for the really big fish while novices to fishing will enjoy the boat trips offering fishing, but to be honest, these are little more than dangling a rod in the water and hoping for the best. There are many options for fishing from the dock or harbour – remember you need a licence for this type of fishing – it’s relaxing and in the right places, with the right bait, it’s fairly easy to catch fish.
Shore Fishing
For the experience angler who doesn’t want to go for sport fishing, there is very little fishing offered in Tenerife.
Tenerife Carp Fishing Experience
Sadly The Carp Pit has closed and the consensus of local anglers is that Gran Canaria is a better choice.
- Duration: from 8:00 till 14:00Â every day except Sunday
- Cancel Up to 24 hours in advance for a full prepayment refund
- Book in advance, paying only small prepayment.

Best Place to Live in Tenerife?
Where to live in Tenerife
Tenerife South is more popular than the north among ex-pats looking for a place to buy or rent, mainly due to its sunny weather. The south of the island is also visited by many tourists in the summer months, which can make it somewhat chaotic but also fun and quite lively.
In general both property prices and rental accommodation are cheaper in the north than the south, and cheaper again inland and away from the tourist areas.

Best Places to Stay in Tenerife
‘Best place’ is a very subjective term. It depends on what lifestyle you want.
Los Abrigos is quiet and only a little touristy with an English and Italian ex-pat community, El Medano has a similar feel but is typically Spanish speaking, as is Las Galletas.
Puerto de la Cruz is in the North, is greener, and has a lively tourist and ex-pat vibe.
Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos are all expensive and very touristy.
Other areas, less popular are: Playa La Arena, Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago.
Tenerife Wine Tours
There are several grape varieties that are unique to Tenerife. Wines made with the MalvasĂa grape were very popular in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries and there are numerous references to Canarian wines, for example, Shakespeare mentions them in many of his plays.

Fly with clubs or rent?
Here’s what golfers have to say:
- If I had a standard package set of clubs I would 100% rent. Itâs far easier, has less risk, and exposes me to new clubs that I can demo and thatâs fun.
- Bringing your own clubs means travelling to and from airports with your suitcase AND golf clubs. Thatâs a lot of luggage
- My rule of thumb is 2 rounds or less rent, 3 rounds or more bring my own sticks.
- No risk of your own clubs getting lost or damaged in transit.
- If you rent you can: not worry, not carry through airport (etc), try something new, have an excuse for bad shots.
- Renting golf clubs gives you the chance to play top of the range sets from the best golf manufacturers in the business.
- I would rent. As a beginner. Itâs good to experience new clubs and manufacturers. Until you start building your own set.
- If you have decided that renting your golf clubs is the right option for you, then be sure to find a quality rental service.
- Why would you go on a golf trip and not bring your golf clubs? Itâs exceedingly rare that they actually get damaged on the flight
- Golf shops almost always carry rental clubs for players who don’t have them. Most rental clubs are relatively new and have decent technology.
Planning a Kitchen
Planning Your Kitchen
The kitchen is probably the most used room in the house. It is where the day starts and ends and is generally a hive of activity when the family is at home.
It is therefore very important that this room is well organised and the use of space is carefully planned. This post is all about planning to make the room safe, pleasant and relaxing to work in. It will also help to ensure that you have a kitchen to be proud of and which will add value to your home.Â
There are three simple stages in kitchen planning.
The first is to carefully measure your room and draw a plan of it, to scale, on the graph paper provided at the back of this leaflet. Do wall plans as well as a floor plan.
The second is to list the fitments you want and plan their positioning in the available space – follow these simple guidelines to ensure that the kitchen you create is practical and safe, as well as beautiful.
And the third is to visit your local kitchen suppliers to choose the kitchen style you prefer, and enlist the aid of a Design Consultant to answer any questions you may have about the planning, and to process your order.
CCTV Surveys Save Time
How CCTV Surveys can save time and money when unblocking drains
Thereâs nothing more annoying than a blocked drain. Letâs face it, when youâre trying to have a shower and the water just wonât go down the drain it creates a really unpleasant experience, and in many cases it can leave you trying a whole host of different options before you find the right way to clear it and move on with what you were doing.
When I was younger I used to live with a girl who had long dark black hair â the same as mine â and we found that after every few weeks our shower drains would clog up with hair sending water straight back into our shower environment â not great. After using a mirage of supermarket products we would finally manage to clear it and by doing this every three weeks we would help to keep the drains clear.
Introducing the CCTV survey
This small device is designed to work in the drainage system, identifying potential blockages and sending back information to a main receiver. CCTV surveys allow the user to utilise a GPS function to identify the exact area of the blockage and also to take any pictures that are needed to identify what the potential problem could be. In turn this enables workers to identify efficient methods of unblocking drains.
Another major benefit of a CCTV survey is that your ability to pinpoint the problem means that you can deal directly with that area. So rather than closing off an entire road or road area, you can in turn just close off an area which helps to keep traffic moving and prevent delays.
CCTV surveys are a great way to save time – by pinpointing the exact area of the problem you can deal with it directly rather than causing other unnecessary damage â and money as they enable you to work specifically at one point which saves additional drilling work, staff wages and various other costs. Overall if you are looking to get your drain unblocked quickly then they can be a great service to use to unblock your drainage system with minimal intervention required.
Self Catering Tenerife
One persons view says it all.
We prefer self catering to any other board basis. We like it because we can come and go as we please and we love to eat out in different restraints every night and not be confined to 1 place. We don’t like the idea of having to be back for a certain time for tea or whatever.
We went bed and breakfast in August and breakfast was served until 10 am which i thought was reasonable but there were a few mornings when we would have liked to stay in bed a bit longer and a couple of times we did. You can still stay in hotels or aparthotels on a self catering basis so you still get a balcony with the views etc.
We just tend to buy some things in for snacks and maybe have breakfast in so buy bread, beans, bacon etc milk, tea bags things like that.

Grooves Disappear From Golf Drivers
By: Martin Roberts Chio Golf Shop
WHY DID THE GROOVES DISAPPEAR FROM GOLF DRIVERS IN THE LATE 1990’s ?????
What a thought!? No grooves on the face of a golf driver? !?!?!
That was the golf industries response when the V Project suggested this to them. The IMG backed golf product accessing project V Project stated clearly that grooves were on little use and a smooth face would give golfers an instant straighter and longer driver. Which eventually the golf industry took on board.
It wasn’t new technology though! Oh no, the rules of golf had it covered in the original rules of the game, the face shall be smooth…..
I learnt the smooth face from caddying for the late great Christy O’connor, who would have his driver revert back to the old rules smooth face by applying araldite into the grooves and sanding the face smooth with emery paper. It kept the ball straighter and lower trajectory in windy weather.
So naturally, heading up the six year V Project I brought that to the table early on.
Sadly the V Project couldn’t protect the change by patent, but it was a nice gift to change golfers games all around the world.
A little more next time of the V Project and how it changed the game of golf.

Co-living Etiquette
Rented Room Accommodation – Shared Housing
There is nothing more frustrating than when something that is obvious to you, appears to be bad manners (or an unfair shirking of house duties) is ignored or misunderstood, leaving you to clean up the mess and solve interpersonal disputes. Being old and sometimes grumpy I often wonder what my mother would think of some tenants manners.
However, times have changed and busy lives encourages us to be thoughtless sometimes.
Make Efforts to be part of the Household
In a shared house are encouraged to make efforts to connect with each other. Any living arrangements work better when tenants try to interact and help one another.Â
Keep your Room clean and tidy
It is the tenantâs responsibility to keep his or her room neat, tidy, and organised. Alternatively, once the weekly household chores are divvied up, one tenant may be paid to clean for another or pay a cleaner from outside to do it.
Communal Space
Do your part in keeping the communal space neat and clean by placing things back to where they belong and in the same condition. A simple gesture such as wiping down the dining table after use is common courtesy. Smoking in co-living premises is not allowed, except for the designated smoking outdoor areas.
Responsible Lifestyle
Leading a sustainable lifestyle is essential and even the smallest of unthinking actions can mount up. Switch off appliances, lights and fans when not in use.
Noise Levels
Common areas are designed for tenants to enjoy and interact with one another. Avoid screaming or blasting music in the common area, especially during the evening and at night.
Refrigerator Space
If you don’t want your food to be eaten by someone else, keep to your allocated space in the fridge. Clear stale food promptly and make sure everything is wrapped.
Laundry Times
Schedule your laundry day. Avoid disturbing people at antisocial times. Remove dried clothes promptly. No one likes to constantly see washing drying!
Communal Expenses
Many any argument started like the old Ben Elton sketch. ‘It was only a bit of shampoo’; ‘Yes but it was MY shampoo’. As soon as possible agree a kitty for communal expenses and who responsibility it is to fetch them. This is part of the allocation of household duties.

Co-Living Getting Your Deposit Back
Â
Long term contracts are unlikely to be given with house share arrangements for several very good reasons, but that’s another topic and a thorny one at that. Some owners may choose to provide cleaning services and other benefits but it’s largely down to ‘you get what you pay for‘.
Here are the principals I adhere to myself when renting a room, considered usual for most decent landlords. You cannot consider them in any way a ‘contract’ unless your landlord specifically states this. It’s simply booking a room for a given period of time (please don’t ask for a year, we cannot do it and it’s unlikely others will!). If you need an empadron check with your landlord before moving in.
On arrival, your booking is subject to a trial period of 2 weeks. If you are unable to get on with other people in the house, you will be asked to find elsewhere. Reasonable time is always allowed for this rare event, provided that the reasons are not extreme, for example theft or aggression.
Deposit
1 months rent is the usual security deposit. If no damages are found when you leave, the deposit is refunded 1 week after your official leaving date. Invoices confirming your expected leaving date are available when you move in. If you need your deposit refunded on the day of leaving you must arrange to have your room inspected 1 week before leaving and again on the day the deposit is returned.
Official Leaving Date
An example is easiest:
You take the room for 2 months on the 1st Jan so your official leaving date is 1st Mar. Your deposit would be returned 8th Mar, all being well. Remember that unless you discuss this, someone may well arrive to take your room 1st Mar
- You decide to stay longer – your new date is 1 month from the day you eventually give notice, unless other arrangement have been made
- If you decide to move in with your mate 2 weeks into the booking, your leaving date is still 1st Mar. You will have paid for Jan but Feb will be deducted from your deposit, ie no refund.
- You get an apartment mid Feb and leave without notice. In this scenario you will have already paid for February so your deposit will be returned 8th Mar, 1 week after your official leaving date. If for some reason you didn’t pay Feb, your deposit now covers that.
Deposit Deductions
- As above, non paid rent for the booked period
- Obviously any damages, including things like nails in walls to hang pictures, damaged/dirty bed linen.
- Pillows, duvets, towels and bed linen are not provided. In practice, tenants usually leave behind what’s there and there will be a set in your room. If you change these things and take them with you when you go, you must replace them with items of the same quality if you have not kept the originals.
- If you have unknowingly stained the mattress (people often lie on the bed while waiting for laundry without the proper mattress protection) you must get the mattress cleaned before inspection day otherwise the cost of cleaning it will be deducted. Sweat and sun tan oil are very difficult stains to remove. If it’s stained beyond cleaning the replacement costs will also be deducted from your deposit.
- If you have painted your room (with permission I hope) you must return it to its original color before inspection day.
- Smoking (It’s a biggie!) If you have smoked in your room your deposit will be forfeit. There are no exceptions. The room has to be repainted, all bedding replaced etc.. It may be nothing to you but to a non smoker it’s huge!
Please remember that timescales on deposit refunds 99 time out of a 100 can be sorted to suit both parties if discussed well in advance. Problems arise when someone thinks, wrongly, that they are due a certain amount and that’s not the case.
So read before you arrive and you can avoid any pitfalls. Clean, tidy and as it was, with the booking term completed, there will be no worries.
Again, these are my personal methods of ensuring no misunderstandings and of course, your co-living situation may be different. That said, I hope it’s given you some pitfalls to avoid and ask any questions BEFORE you move in, not on the day you realise you need your deposit back!
Puerto de la Cruz Boat Trips
Folks, I am going to blaspheme now BUT Puerto de la Cruz is not the best place for a boat trip.
If you are hardcore about your boat trips and enjoy the more choppy weather in the North, well that great, but if you need relaxation on your boat trips then Puerto del la Cruz may not be for you.
That said, many boat trip operators pick you up early morning in Puerto de la Cruz and transport you to Las Americas to pick up the boat. They may give you a couple of hours free time before the trip , which can last from 3 to 4 hours .

Internet Providers in Tenerife
Chris Ross – Tenerife Insurance – Highly Recommended
Since moving to Tenerife, I have tried 5 different internet providers. Quite honestly, a good mobile service gives you some pretty neat alternative choices for your internet providers.
This is my personal opinion of them but good or bad, the contact details are listed below.
Find the right internet provider
Thor Telecom I will not recommend because they owe me over âŹ200 for a parking fine from when they rented my car. Dating back to 23rd March before they returned the car without notice, not even having the courtesy of telling me, let alone paying it, I have contacted them several times but despite promises, it remains unpaid.
Throstur Ingvar Steinthorsson no longer replies to my messages. I leave it to you as to whether you want to trust a company that behaves like this.
- Thor Telecom Not Trustworthy
- AirFibre Very poor customer service

- Movistar Solid but not the best choice
- Fiberspeed excellent value for money

Whale Watching in Tenerife
Whale & Dolphin Watching in Tenerife

- Best time of year for whales & dolphins in Tenerife?
- Chances of seeing whales in Tenerife?
- Can you see really see dolphins in Tenerife?
- Can I swim with the Dolphins?
Make sure you choose the right tour operator and the type of trip that’s right for you. Ocean Tours have a number of great options to see whales and dolphins. They also have an excellent reputation.
Best time of year for whales & dolphins in Tenerife?
That’s an easy one. Tenerife has a great climate all year round, especially in the South so any time is good for seeing whales and Dolphins.
Chances of seeing whales in Tenerife?
If you don’t see whales on your trip you are either extremely unlucky or you chose the wrong boat trip. It’s said that you will see whales 99% of the time. Of course you could be forgiven for thinking it’s all about the dolphins but that has more to do with marketing than anything else.
Can you see really see dolphins in Tenerife?
In truth you are more likely to see whales than dolphins but the chances are still pretty good, estimated at roughly 60%. Again, choose you trip carefully. Take a smaller boat and avoid the party cruises. Trust me there is nothing more annoying than peacefully watching dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water only to see them frightened off by a boat full of alcohol laden party-makers with loud music.
Can I swim with the Dolphins?
‘Fraid not. Strictly forbidden. Also bear in mind that if you are offered something privately on the cheap, you need to be very careful that they have all the proper licences in place. If you get caught out it’s fines all round. In Tenerife it’s taken very seriously. And ‘I didn’t know’ won’t work!
If you want a close encounter with dolphins, there are water parks where you can do this. If you love the idea of interacting with Tenerifes marine life then snorkeling may be a good choice for you.
