Thanks again Andrew for another fantastic tip guide x
Last Christmas in Tenerife it was 26c and felt even hotter. I saw 2 poor little girls covered in blisters 😢 DEFINITELY need sun screen guys!
merci pour tous ces renseignements 👋
I have my wallet and phone in my pockets, i also have my hands in the pockets. Not easy to steal them.
Tip 5: Use sunblock.
Put a rubber band around your wallet, makes it harder for them to get it out of your pocket unnoticed.
Thanks Andrew well worth blogs like this especially about pick pockets extreme care is needed. You would think these days most folk would take plenty of suncream on holiday factor 50 for us however it is incredible how so many people just don't seem to realise the danger of sunburn
Just one question mate do you have to have a permit for mt Tede now I know you didn't need one in 1991 when we walked up to the summit then the views are amazing and it looks just like your on another planet with all the volcanic rock
I'm just wanting to visit the volcano with very good memories I was only 13 back then when my mother and father took me and my brother's I also loved los Cristianos and las Americas yes time flies I'm 45 now
Good reminder
Thanks for sharing this advice, We will be over in 6 weeks 🙂
If its hard for you to get at your money its harder for a thef.
Thank you so much for this Andrew. I’m over on Friday with my friend so will definitely be taking on your advice/tips. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Just becareful if you try and tackle anyone trying to steal from you we were in Las Americas when there in September. during the day there was an argument between 2guys and one took a flick knife out of his pocket and chased after the other guy.on the prom…..in the middle of a restaurant with lots of people about.wasnt impressed with Las Americas this time shall be keeping clear
Is it still warm in febuary ?
It’s been almost a year now since we had our horrifying experience in Tenerife, I’m very sure if we hadn’t have had our wits about us, the out come would’ve been very different, we got followed by multiple different men god knows what their plans was but I’m 100% sure it wasn’t anything good! Myself my daughter and her friend was out on our first night and left 3 days later, it left us that scared we abandoned a 10 day holiday for my daughter’s 21st. Thanks to Andrew, Laura and his fantastic staff we got to the airport safely after not being able to trust anyone else.. Please take Andrews advice seriously! It’s took this long for me to be able to even post about it! Massive thank you to you all you will never know how grateful I will forever be that you helped us!
Had my phone pick pocketed on the la vista strip first day of my holiday I didn't let it ruin my trip though ..so it's not just in Veronicas it's everywhere there unfortunately
i'm going to Tenerife next month and i'm looking forward to it as it's going to be my first time there! i've been to the canary islands before but that was in the 90s so this will be a much needed vacation for me! thanx for the info! cheers from Sweden!
Also do be careful at the airport. I had my purse stolen after my bag went through the scanner. The trays were being shoved so quickly through that they were all piling up at the end. The policeman standing there couldn't care less. No help at all.
It happened to me. Arrived home yesterday after a 10 night stay. I was pickpocketed on the 1st day in Koala Bay clothes shop opposite the Monkey Beach club. They took my wallet which had my debit card, credit card, drivers licence and 160 euros in it. Fortunately I had another credit card and most of my cash in the safe back at the hotel so was able to continue my holiday. Cancelled my stolen cards immediately and was lucky they hadn't been used (just the inconvenience of getting new ones). New drivers licence was waiting for me when I got home last night. This was a nasty experience, so be very very careful out there. Don't take your wallet out there. good advice from Andrew there
It isn't the local Spanish people doing it is it?
Take some small magnets, great for keeping all your daily newsletters together. A highlighter is also useful to plan your evenings, as entertainment can overlap. Enjoy
How much do you charge for a car in January?
How is La Palma since the wild fires?
Im canarian stay away from morocans, albanians an romanians and u will be ok
Hi Andy,tip for pick pockets,always take out each day about €40 and I wear shorts with zip pockets,dean at nottingham,be there dec 3rd
Why doesn't do Spain something in order to prevent these Criminals coming into the Canary Islands? How is it possible the pick pockets are coming in? This certainly is not an invitation to have holidays on these Islands. 😢
Visiting Puerto de la Cruz from Dec 16-25. Solo traveler. My second time in Puerto but last time was 20 years ago. Also had a visit to Adeje back in 2012. Love the Island. Managed to find some cheap flights from Finland down to LPA and then Island hoppning with Canaryfly over to TFN. Not a bad deal paying 29€ for one way between the Islands.
Hey Andrew, gran canaria is ace we have been going there 26 years , spend 50 nights a year
We watch your show and it's fabulous we are from isle of man
Mark and Steve
Oh my I didn't know winter is a big season for tourists there but it makes sense, it's the only warm place in Europe! I'm going to Lanzarote in 2 weeks. Thanks for your advice:)
I would also give an advice don't forget to pack warmer clothes 🙂 you never know what the weather may look like..
what a depressing video I dont even want to go now!
Is there only problem of pick pocketing or any other type of violence? Is there any physical attacking? How secure is the hotel?
So…
1. pickpockets
2. Book in advance
3. Suncare and hydration
Thanks, planning a trip soon.
Hi Andrew great video
I want to come out to Tenerife Adeje or los chistianos
3 months budget £1200 a month
Really struggling through idealista
9 years there you may have a tip for me
Regards
James
Good tips Andrew,think everyone drops there guard on holiday.Got done only once,certainly upped my guard after having money taken when got my wallet out.
Im in gran canaria for holiday im safe so far
I was expecting some actual warnings or tips. Guess I found captain obvious.
Best thing to do is use revolut with a physical card and just top it up with however much you'll likely spend in the next few hours. Make sure your phone doesn't have contactless payments on and use a fingerprint phone unlock or face unlock so that anything personal on your phone isn't unusable. Also make sure with Revolut that you don't have money in any other currency or it will use that for payments and auto exchange between currencies to fulfil a contactless payment.
I am recommending people to buy a bum bag with a padlock and use a hotel safe for the most important value.
My recommendation is to get more than 2 bank cards for backup when traveling.
These are the pickpocketing tips.
thats everywhere in the world, also in Mallorca, Portugal. The ppl are bad, better you stay home 🙁
