TENERIFE - WARNING!! THE PATCH TO VERONICAS - NEARLY ENDED BADLY! 

We stayed at the Sol Tenerife. Room was facing Veronicas. Every night was the thump, thump, thump of drum n bass till 4am . After enduring 3 nights of this, we asked if we could be put in a different room facing away from Veronicas. We moved literally across the corridor and finally got a full nights sleep 😉😉

WOW Col, far too busy there for me, defo wont find me there ever lol. Cheeky fella wasn't he, trying to get ya wallet. Defo gotta have ya wits about ya. Hats off to you for bringing great content even tho its not my scene. Very confident you are, and going from strength to strength, keep it up and well done. Defo be at 3k soon 🎉😊

Booked for November my best time of year, keep up the good vids and thanks for keeping us all up to date 👌👍

Col taking his life in his hands for the benefit of us watchers……appreciate Col

Another great one col and hats of to you for uploading every day and your content is exceptional and always look forward to what you have planned next

Great vlog col brings back good memories keep up the good work sir👍

So glad I am well gone beyond my sell buy date for these places. Another great vlog from you.

Definitely be careful when out on the strip. I ended up out on my own one night. 2 days later I got a slip put under hotel door saying police had been to hotel looking for me. Turns out the phone I thought I’d lost whilst out had actually been stolen from me and I had to go the station and make a statement. Turns out touts on strip saw this guy trying to rob someone else, called police and when approached by police he threw my phone and ran. 4 years later I was summoned to court in Tenerife. I didn’t have to go thankfully. So yes be careful as it can be easily done when you’ve had a few drinks.

Went Tenerife in the mid 2000's, we were advised that Veronica's & the bars on that side were 'the wrong side of the tracks'. We ventured over there once & found out it was. Best to stick to the bars around Linekers bar & that side of things. It still appears that advice holds true.

Good video col nice one mate

Col you are certainly doing great with these daily vlogs… Wakanda is a lovely bar …You we’re brave enough dealing with the Lucky Lucky men as so easily to be pickpocketed there but thanks for highlighting the dangers Well done ! xx👍👍

The best hotels to stay in are around hotel la siesta, vulcano, bitacora area, nice and near to veronicas, golden mile and a bit further walk to Los cristianos town (for location).

First time viewer, cheers col we visit in August for first time can't wait

Great video Col. We don't stay out that late and have never had any problems.

Great video mate, we always give the looky looky men a wide berth and never go down Veronica's, only time I do speak to them is when I need a cheap watch & that's always during the day lol

Excellent video, well done 👏🏻

Not had problems but then again chilled out on the balcony or fast asleep in Los Chis at this time, so thanks for showing what goes on cause we wont be seeing it any other way

Was in Gaelic corner and the Dubliner few times last week, best laugh and crowd I’ve seen in ages..

I used to work on Veronica's strip in 2001 as one of those annoying PR's, but back then you could get away with some cheek, nowadays knives and gang fights, not worth it, subbed ..coming back for a few 6 months next year, trying to do my youth again lol, all the best

Did you go and dance 😂 Great video, 1 maybe I will have to fly here and do some videos. Keep up the great content.

Great video Col😃👍 Hope you enjoyed a few pints later😃👍🍺

Ill definitely not go to Tenerife again. Its too rough at night. I go to Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen its much more chilled .

Better off staying just up the road away from the mad head square bit so you can float in then float out no hassle

Jesus good job you had your wits about you Col 😳 you was lucky there !! I heard police now monitor the area but I never saw one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love las americas but avoid Veronica strip. Too many bad people and lots of pickpockets

Been hear 2 weeks always go I yards bar but since it changed hads its not been open during the day at all been coming for over 27 years always like jardys bar

loving the videos off there again very soon so its amazing to see the area again

Sugereef and Joyce host London Dj’s from Centreforce Radio 88.3, some great Dj liineups. I have played in 5 bars and clubs on Veronica’s, since the 90’s played Sugareef in 2019. Mrs T’s open roof parties where awesome.

I once fell asleep behind Veronica’s and got my trainers nicked 😂

Thanks for the advice

Just come back from there..5 people in our hotel had their pockets picked. And did you mention the overwhelming smell of weed when you near the Veronicas area? I remember being taken into an underground bar where the door was locked Alarm bells rang straight away..they tried to persuade me to part with 20 euros to join the 'club' so I could buy as much weed as I wanted..They wouldn't take NO for an answer and turned very unpleasant. But I stuck to my guns, didn't pay and was simply glad to get out of there with no trouble. Definitely won't be returning to that area.

Re the Alley you walked down at 2am. I watched that one. Then a few weeks later myself and Tim did it about 09.30am. And it was intimidating then.

Sorry col never come back to tenerife we stayed in noila sur witch is now the tigton we got mugged there and it's still as bad and no one is still is doing anything about it 😢

The o e and o ky time I was in Tenerife col was at a weekend stag and li Ed in oneills so that's probably why I Don't go there and prefer lanzarote but all you lovely gang are changing my perception of there so cheers

Veronicas has changed over the years. there were years when nothing was open and in the mid 90s it was a lot worse than it is nowadays. It was cheap chips though and loads of of offers, 2,3 even 4 for 1 and shots galore but it was a well dodgy place to visit, never on your own

Cheers bud haven't been to Tenerife for 20 years great video, and subbed , I stayed at Guiramena Princess in Costa Adeje

Thank you so much for doing this vlog for us. Definitely a different atmosphere at night. Safety in numbers, or places packed with people......btw, was that your motor parked across from Veronica's 1?? Do you have to pay for parking at a meter, or similar? x🤔🏖☺

Love Veronicas but I got added advantage of knowing plenty of friendly bar staff and reps along the strip really well - great drink deals till 3/4 in morning and dancing . But u need to be on ur guard no different to night out in bars in London or other cities. Lava Lounge opposite Veronicas has good entertainment and g8 iced cocktails . During the day / early evening there are great restaurants overlooking the ocean and Coco Beach bar for lush cocktails ( beachside - other side of Veronicas strip ) Stayed in Sol Tenerife and plenty other hotels nearby all good 👍.

Went here in 2007 with my best mate! Happy days...was great 🍹

wow

Good one x

Very very long time ago I stayed at Tenerife Sol

Them underpasses at the beginning of Veronicas,have always been lively.Had a run in 1990 ...1990 🤦🏻‍♂️ under there with some Belgian lads.Same week some young Brit got stabbed under there.Had some great nights in and around Veronicas tho.Some great tips on this vlog.Its safe enough Tenerife and I still use it to the max.

Got stabbed in throat September 91 outside Bobby’s bar always been a dodgy gaff … but did have some good times there !

im in las americas at the moment with my two 17 year old sons who cant be left to their own devices (for obious reasons). can you recommend any family friendly places that would be livlely enough to keep them entertained?

I always say no nada gracias with a hand movement and keep walking, it confuses them 😂

You need to remember that there are far worse places than Tenerife and Canary Islands. Places like Benidorm have a life more problems and crime, being like a city there are a lot of muggings and drunken violence in Benidorm which you don’t get in the Canary Islands.

Blackpool with sun, visited many years ago the walkway was supposed to be 1"white tiles, couldnt see them for all the shite, vomit, food, drink and god knows what else,, 4 of us got banned from the strip as they didnt like squaddies lol

They don't mean any harm 😂😂the need a good hiding

Is it mainly the Roma causing trouble or?

You have to go under that walkway at the end of Veronicas u showed if your staying in Sol Tenerife hotel as its main way to get back in there . But I agree stay with your mates all the time. Fellas don’t get caught up with local hoes wandering about ( pickpocketing drunks ) . There are several strip / lap dancing clubs that are safer than woman on the streets !

Hey col just found this vlog not seen hope you were saying safe fantastic vlog as usual as I have said your mad. But you have to show it what it is ❤xx

Hi Col. Are you familiar with Vivo’s? We used to go regularly in November to Soul in the sun.

Went there in 96 for my first lads holiday best 2 weeks 👍😊

so were do you recommend a 53 year old man go for a bit of nightlife col? coming over next week

9:21 top floor if you know you know 💨

Coming to Tenerife in 3 weeks. Wanting to go out on Veronica's but what time would you suggest going out at? Dont want it to be too quite but dont want it to be too rammed either

I'd walk from the Parque de la Paz strip to the Patch, but if coming home on my own, I always get a taxi, and I just stay in the Columbus. Also dont take my mobile out at nights, just cash and an old camera. Walking near that big wide corner, you get tormented by 'working girls'.

Remember Bobbys and Busbys..Thats going back!

Playa azul club 18-30 col.

Is it a good walk from los Chris to there

What the fudge. And here I thought was 1st world country. Im from Mexico but even in Mexico you walk freely, except red zones.

Gone are the days of Bobby's Bar and Busby's

Don't feel bad about almost getting pick pocketed, the little shit got my wallet, i didn't feel a thing,

Are they all free to enter?

Pick pocket where ?

i see they have scooters flying about now. handy getting from adeje along to veronicas,save my legs

Good chippy that

The place has gone to the dogs. Full of Moroccons ruining it. Went in Feb, been every year for last 15 years (bar covid) . Won't return
