🌞 YOUR MONTHLY ROUNDUP IN TENERIFE!
WE’VE GOT STRETCHES, SEQUINS, SAFETY,
SOLD SIGNS
& A LITTLE ROCKSTAR MAGIC
🌋 TEIDE: LIMBER, LOVELY & LIGHTLY SHAKING HER ASSETS
Recent media reports regarding Tenerife and Mount Teide would have you believe that we are all sitting on a ticking time bomb. Teide has been stretching again — nothing dramatic, just the geological equivalent of cracking your neck after sleeping funny. Perfectly normal, perfectly safe, and absolutely not the volcanic meltdown some headlines would love you to panic‑click.
Scientists say it’s routine.
The island says it’s Tuesday.
🎭 LOS CRISTIANOS CARNIVAL: WHERE SUBTLETY GOES TO DIE (GLORIOUSLY)
While the ground was doing a polite shimmy, Los Cristianos Carnival was doing a full‑body twerk.
The town erupted into colour, chaos, and costumes that defied physics.
If you didn’t find glitter in your underwear the next morning, you weren’t truly there.

🚗 TF‑1 THREE‑LANE EXPANSION: A MIRACLE ON ASPHALT
The TF‑1 is finally getting its long‑awaited three‑lane expansion between San Isidro and Las Américas — meaning fewer bottlenecks, fewer queues, and fewer drivers questioning their life choices in the left lane.
For anyone who’s ever sat on the motorway wondering if they’d reach Adeje before sunset, this is nothing short of a transport miracle.
Check local Town Hall websites to see if any road closures may affect you, as several roads will be closed at non-peak times….
🎵 STING & UB40: BIG NAMES, BIG NIGHTS COMING TO TENERIFE
As if Carnival wasn’t enough excitement, Tenerife’s gearing up for a major musical moment.
Sting is officially returning to the island in 2026, bringing his Sting 3.0 World Tour to Santa Cruz. Expect a stripped‑back, high‑energy trio performance — intimate, powerful, and the kind of night people will talk about for years.
And while UB40 haven’t confirmed a Tenerife date yet, the island’s music scene is buzzing. With acts of this calibre choosing Tenerife, it’s clear the island is firmly back on the map for major international tours.
It’s shaping up to be a golden era for live music here.
💬 A HEARTFELT TESTIMONIAL FROM RECENT SELLERS
Every week brings its own stories in the property world, but some stay with you.
This one came from a couple who had owned their home here for nearly 20 years and suddenly found themselves needing to sell due to difficult family circumstances.
Here’s what they shared:
“We cannot speak too highly of Lee and the team at Golf Del Sur Properties.
We had owned our property for nearly 20 years but in January 2026 a horrible set of family circumstances meant that we needed to sell.
Never having gone through this process we needed a lot of help and guidance. After asking around we got lots of recommendations and Lee was far and away the most mentioned as being the ones to use.
We are so glad we listened. Every time an issue arose we contacted Lee and the team and the problems were solved quickly, even the ones with the local Town Hall!
The guys were fully on board with us and we don’t know how we would have managed without them as they fully understood the family issues and they went above and beyond.
We should also say that the marketing of the property was fantastic and we managed to complete the whole sale process from start to finish in just under 6 weeks from the property being advertised to completion.
If you are selling (or buying) you really should use Golf Del Sur Properties.
Chris & Janet.
A reminder that behind every sale, there’s a story — and sometimes, helping someone move forward is the most meaningful part of the job.
🌍 MEANWHILE, IN THE WORLD: US VS IRAN (AND WHY TENERIFE REMAINS CALM & COMPASSIONATE)
Global tensions have been making headlines again, and it’s natural to feel a flicker of concern. People are worried, families are anxious — and acknowledging that simply keeps us human.
But here’s the reassuring part:Tenerife remains one of the calmest, safest, most stable corners of Europe and it is clear to see that being able to escape the political madness, is a very attractive proposition.
No unrest.
No tension spilling over.
Just sunshine, community, and the steady rhythm of island life.
🏡 PROPERTY MARKET: STILL HOTTER THAN A CARNIVAL DANCER’S ARMPIT
Despite the island’s occasional wiggle and Carnival’s full‑body convulsions, the Tenerife property market is strutting around like it owns the catwalk.
Buyers from everywhere — Germans, Brits, Dutch, Belgians, Scandinavians, mainland Spaniards, and global investors — are snapping up homes like they’re limited‑edition trainers.
The market isn’t trembling — it’s thriving.
If anything’s erupting (no volcanic pun inteneded) it’s buyer demand.
🏡 WHO’S PICKING UP THE SLACK NOW THAT EASTERN EUROPEAN ROI BUYERS HAVE COOLED?
VV licence changes slowed one group — but Tenerife didn’t miss a beat.
When the VV (holiday rental) licence process became more complicated, the once‑reliable stream of Eastern European ROI‑hunters cooled.
But the slack?
It’s being picked up quickly and confidently.
Here’s the new buyer mix:
- Germans & Austrians — methodical, long‑term, steady
- Dutch & Belgians — quiet, decisive, quality‑focused
- Brits — enthusiastic and ever‑present
- Scandinavians — tasteful, calm, lifestyle‑driven
- Mainland Spaniards — rediscovering the islands
- Global lifestyle investors — seeking stability and sunshine
The result: a more stable, diverse, and less frantic buyer pool and a multi-demographic stream of prospective purchasers arriving and buying.

⚽ FOOTBALL FEVER: TENERIFE’S MEN & WOMEN SERVING GOALS, GLORY & ACTUAL LEAGUE POSITIONS
CD Tenerife (Men’s Team)
Currently 1st place in Primera Federación Group 1 with 58 points.
A season full of grit, goals, and heart‑rate‑raising finishes and hopefully a swift return to the second divison.
UDG Tenerife Egatesa (Women’s Team) Sitting 5th in Liga F with 24 points — disciplined, strategic, and consistently impressive.
Spain were pioneers in developing Woman’s football and both genders have been playing in the same junior teams for years and the mutual repsect from a young age, really sets the foundations for the future.
Together, they’re giving the island plenty to cheer about and if you have never been to watch a match, it is a good day out and on the right matchday, an incredible atmosphere.
✨ FINAL THOUGHT
This week, Tenerife has:
- Shaken (politely)
- Danced (aggressively)
- Continues to upgrade its motorway (miraculously)
- Thanked us (sincerely)
- Welcomed major music news (loudly)
- Watched global tensions (with empathy, not panic)
- Sold property (enthusiastically)
- Showcased standout listings (temptingly)
- Scored goals (brilliantly)
- Rebalanced its buyer pool (effortlessly)
If the island had a slogan right now, it would be:
“Movement is the vibe. Panic is not.”
🌴 If You’re Thinking About a Move…
Whether you’re quietly browsing or seriously planning your next step, now’s a lovely moment to explore what’s out there. And if you already own a place and you’re wondering what it might be worth in this market, that’s an easy conversation too.
No pressure, no push — just a chat when you fancy it.
Tenerife’s moving, and you can move with it whenever the timing feels right.
