    We have been in Tenerife for 30 years, but we are not satisfied with one big change | Travel News | Travel

    The British couple say Tenerife is a “special” place for them, and they will be spending their 60th anniversary on the Spanish island next year despite the major changes they noticed at the holiday hotspot. Retired insulation engineer James Nylan and his wife Georgina, 78, were tailors specializing in bridal and casual wear, relaxing at the English Rose Bar in Playa de la Americas. The couple from West Derby in Liverpool usually visit Tenerife twice a year for 30 years. However, since they became pensioners, they only traveled once a year.

    “We're going to get lost without a holiday like this,” Mrs. Nairn said. However, the area has been changing over the years, Ribapturian observed – and there is one thing in particular that they are not very happy.

    “Where we go now, everything doubles the price,” Nairn told the Express.

    Georgina said prices for gin and tonic have risen particularly, now at around 7.50 euros.

    She added:

    Her husband said more venues will be used to sell curling, but now they focus more on local beers, but in reality they tend to be cheaper.

    Nevertheless, he likes it, so he sticks to British brewing. “I'm not biased,” he said. “That's exactly what I'm used to.”

    But overall, the island is definitely “upgraded” and the couple thinks as the bar “changed hands” and “modernized”.

    Georgina said: “I love it here. Different hotels, different characters.”

    She notably said that they had stopped at pubs they had been on their way multiple times over the years, but that had changed.

    The next day, the protesters went to the city of Santa Cruz, the island's capital.

    Express asked pensioners what they thought.

    James said:

    “We only came on holidays. They stepped in. Many people are employed in hotels – they'll be off work. They're chasing their people.”

    During Covid, Tenerife's tourist destinations have been “a lot of suffering,” he added.

    Georgina said: “It's a special place. We know the area very well. You can understand where they came from. But we'll help them.”
