  • Join me & Eric for a late night visit to the notorious Veronicas Strip in Playa De Las Americas, Tenerife.
    Filmed in mid December 2023, this was Eric’s first visit back for a few years so he was keen to see how it had changed!
    Filiming both inside & outside the bars, join us for the ride & see how it ends!!

    Great safety tips at the end, I was there last week and after the dubliner shut some of the lads decided they wanted to go onto another club, with our hotel only being at the top of the road I decided to head home. That is when I was pounced on by a pick pocket and I was very lucky to come away still with my phone! Stick with your mates and keep your phones and wallets zipped up! 👍

    I believe Tenerife has improved since the 90’s, it’s much quieter down the strip than it was back in the day, when the likes of Bobby’s Bar, The Leopard Lounge, The Crows Nest and Mrs T’s, Bonkers Bar and Images, was open.
    I used to Dj in Veronica’s in the 90’s till 2000, it was heaving.

    • @COLSPLACE44
      @COLSPLACE44  Місяць тому

      Agreed - definitely a lot quieter than those days. Drinking & travel habits of the 18-30 age group have all changed since then - bar crawls & fishbowls have long gone - they now prefer to hike around thailand & drink coconut tea!
      They haven’t lived have they? 😆

      Didn’t Veronicas once belong to Gary Liniker, or did I dream it. Last I was there it was the early 90’s

      No Wayne, Gary’s brother had Linekers bar which used to be run by tosh in the 90’s, it’s still there but is on the other side, called starco complex just above tramps, not sure if Wayne has anything to do with the Tenerife one anymore.
      The Moroccan’s own most of Veronica’s these days.

    Fantastic vlog Col and such a great walk down memory lane for me. Between 1990 and 1995, my parents owned a food place in Veronicas called ‘Snakatak’ that was located downstairs in the block at the end of your video. Back then it was very vibrant until 5am downstairs as there were some very popular and legendary Scottish and Irish bars like the Cally, Molly Malones and Dick Turpins. I did live in Tenerife for a year when I was a very naïve and foolish 18 year old and had a mostly fun time before I went to university. So I’m looking forward to revisiting some old haunts as a sagacious and perturbed old man for my 50th birthday celebrations this March.

      Such a shame we only hear about the bad incidents Tony. I’m in Veronicas a lot when I’m over there & see very little happening. I don’t wish to victim blame but when i see young lads totally wasted dropping their phones & cash, also young girls sloping off down the side alleys with guys theyve just met, it’s no wonder a lot of these things happen.
      Nobody hears about the thousands of people who have a great time there without any problems either. Myself & Eric had 3 nights there in the week we were there & didnt see or hear a cross word.
      In fact, There were more issues in the ‘grown-up’ areas where the middle aged crowd were causing after being sloshed on their cheap all inclusive drink.
