TENERIFE - AVOID THIS SHORTCUT AT NIGHT - ACTUAL 230am FOOTAGE AT END!

Ойын-сауық

A quick walk around the area of Las Piramides hotel showing its location & nearby bars/restaurants.
Watch to the end to see actual footage taken at 230am of a popular shortcut /cut-through popular with clubbers, tourists etc making their way ftom the Veronicas area back to their hotels. This needs to be avoided as it’s an area frequented by various local ‘workers’ & their associates!

    Not going through dark lanes late at night is a good piece of advice for anyone going anywhere in the world. That being said, mate that isn't even a lane, is a path rather wide, except for the trees on the sides there's a good range of visibility, it is also reasonably illuminated and there are high end terraced houses on the sides, probably people coming in or out of the houses relatively often. Frankly, I don't see anything scary in that path, but well I guess you needed a little adventure to comment back in Bournemouth. Although I must admit that we locals may look scary at first sight I assure you we have left our human meat consumption and head reducing habits long ago. But yes there aren't many locals living in that area I guess. Enjoy your stay in Tenerife.

    Thanks Jonay - fully agree. The path itself is fine, albeit a little dark & secluded in parts. The sketchy bit is near the top as there is some ‘business’ going on amongst the trees to the right as you hit the top. TBH, i’ve never had any issues with the locals in Las Americas - touch wood. A lot of the problems arise from the tourists who get totally blotto & then wonder why they lose their phones or get pickpocketed.

    Hi Jacqueline - you’ll have a great time over there & yes as long as you keep to the more public places, you’ll be perfectly safe! For a good night out, check out my other video on La Paz strip - the music bars 👍

    To be safe you may avoid drinking too much and going home at 2.30 AM, you may also avoid the whole area because Tenerife is definitely NOT the Veronicas strip, try visiting the island and not the british places and pubs. People are friendly and charming, also try to utter a few basic words in spanish, say Holà and not Hi (which is american), gracias and not thank you, adios and not bye etc etc Small efforts go a long way !

    Hi Laura - i didnt fill one out for this trip back in May & as I understand, rules are still same. If you are fully vaccinated then no locator form is needed. So if you can show proof (nhs app) youre fully vaccinated, or have recovered from covid last 6 months, or under 12 - no locator form needed. 😁 www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements

Las Americas certainly has a problem with undesirables and the authorities need to find a way to police the resort to make it safer. Its just getting worse. I will never go back there for certain!
