Great video vlog! Found you from Col's place. As for the Euro beers.. I don't think people will complain if they are 2-2.50 Euros but this really comes down to how management of each place price their drinks and food to cover their outgoings and overheads as well as balancing the cost of hiring staff. From my perspective, I happily tip a little bit at the end of a session if I know it's going to help the staff out a little and if I have enjoyed the place, but you are right, it's sadly a serious talking point about fair wages and cost of living.
South Tenerife has always seemed balanced and in control, but if greed and property prices rise it will force higher rates, higher prices and encourage customers to go all inclusive…Or not at all. Your trip to San Antonio Bay Ibiza showed the empty state of bars and closed restaurants in what was once a great, very busy family resort.
It's definitely a valid point but the prices now for going on holiday wow jet 2 really hammer me as a solo traveller but I think maybe a island tax say ten euro are a minimum 2 euro pint
Yes I noticed the prices for Tenerife had gone up. We're going to Mallorca and expect to pay the tourist tax. The Canaries should do the same. I would only go to Tenerife for winter sun. But Mallorca beats it hands down! 😀👍
Sooo. put the prices up pay people more.... I have had 3 wage rises since 2022 and feel no benefit WHY because all they have done is increase prices to match wage increases and so it goes on.....
Maybe we should ask for pay cut and get prices down, but that would never happen so to get more money everything has to go up. It’s just a vicious circle
Too true...A pint in ireland is e6 when will it be e10 5yrs or so nearly 70% rise do you think my wage will go up this much in 5 years I think not@@johnfisher7587
I wouldn't buy a euro beer in Tenerife, nor would I buy a 10 euro beer in Dublin. Prices in the UK cities are crazy so I just stay in a cook my own much better food actually than most of the city restaurants serve. And that includes so called fine dining restaurants. My advice. Join a decent wine club where you can buy top quality wine at a reasonable price and learn how to cook.
@@mathewnavarro2612I know, and so do I. I just don't buy 1 euro beers as in my limited experience they are not very good. I would rather pay €3 to €3.50 for a decent pint.

😂😂😂😂you cook better food than restaurants including fine dining, yeah right loner😂😂
I dont think many people would grudge folk getting a better wage, however there are a lot of business owners who will be greedy and not give staff what they should get, happens everywhere unfortunately. Another great vlog tho Kevin
We stay in Las Americas and never bought a €1 beer i prefer bottles,i think the food and drink in restaurants needs to stay reasonably priced as the cost to stay in hotels around the area is very expensive now,people will go to other countries.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife and stop all inclusive that might well help I think the bulk of people do Tenerife on a budget mostly over 45/50 . The price of getting there and accommodation is now pushing it , I’d say book early if you want good flight times as that’s what rockets
We are regulars to to teneriffe and lanzarote and yes we go all inclusive but the hotel is a base on average we spend €150 to €200 per day outside of the hotel just for the 2 of us I can't imagine the cost of a large family on holiday no being all inc !! the all inc option has always been there so I dont think it's a problem the bars are always full day or night time
The hours that a lot of the workers do in bars is ridiculous. To have to rely on tips isn’t good enough. I’m the last of the big drinkers so the price of a drink is irrelevant. Well done to you Kevin for raising this. You are brilliant and your best is good enough.💕😊💕
My understanding of it is increasing the prices increases the cost of living as locals also have to pay the extra, and increasing wages can also impact negatively on inflation, which can also result in increased prices... so I don't think by simply increasing the prices for tourists the cost of living for locals will go down. Indeed it could actually have the opposite effect and also lead to fewer tourists in the long term.
It was €1 Euro a pint because the beer was very near its use by date. It would have been poured down the drain if it wasn't sold. Possibly over ordering by the supplier? I don't know.
Moral of the story if you want cheap lager in Spain go to a locals bar and buy bottles of lager .i should know lived in Spain for 4 years inland of Alicante also learned the lingo it goes a long way .with respect of the language if you decide to move there .
Hola Kevin enjoying your tenerife videos are you going to majorca any time this year ill be there in a few weeks time there's some great places to visit like alcudia magaluf palma nova it's one of my favourite places to visit have fun x😂
Until fairly recently, Spain was a poor nation and was under the Francoist dictatorship to the mid-1970s. So low prices and low wages were part of the culture and one of the drivers of mass tourism. These days the economy is not only well developed but inflation is ravaging communities much like the whole of Western Europe. We gave to get used to paying more Kev.
Think it's the same everywhere people's wages aren't going up to cover everything going up definitely think it's should go up a bit more because don't now how they do a euro beer Kevin ❤❤
Agree 9.99 euro for 3 courses are far too cheap, along with 1 euro pints 2.50 /3 euro would make slightly more and pay staff more to help cost living caused by mass tourism.. It would possibly also help image of the tourist areas. This is still very cheap for tourists a pint in UK £4 3 course meal £25/30 for a cheap meal if your lucky.
Just watching the vlog Kevin. And the part before you spoke to the couple from Kilsyth. You said. Is Tenerife to affordable. We pay just shy of £3k for B&B at the Cleopatra. Eat out every night. Not where it’s 3 courses for €10. But a mixture of dining options. Now and again it can be over €100. Everything from Biancos to Cafe Ole. We spend approx €5k. If you think that’s cheap then you must move in very expensive circles. With regards to €1 beers. You’ve been hunting them down for years. Don’t be like that other Vlogger on the island that sensationalises everything for click bait. Because he comes across as a knob. You’re better than that. Ps love all the vlogs you put out
i never drink euro beers when am in benidorm i drink in old town avarage pint 4 euro why its because its a great pint pay even more in the belgium bar on europer i think euro pints is like look warm pee
Hi Kev,no disrespect to yourself and your wonderful tenerife videos,i love watching you out and about in tenerife but some of these guys have very short memories and need to show some respect towards Lee who has done so much for the islands tourism. Some of the other youtubers are just as bad,i think you will know who i mean. Keep up the good work Kevin 👍
@@ScotsmaninTenerife hope so Kevin. Just as a matter of interest will you be going to Benidorm this summer,we have never been and was thinking of a trip soon. Haven't been away since I retired a couple of years ago but enjoy tenerife, must of been ovef 30 times,probably why I like your channel so much. Have fun on your travels and keep up the great videos❤️
@Duckburg good luck to you if your watching the yawn channels,ie dj and Rick but your missing so many great videos,like his Australia trip but each to their own.😊
Ok pal if you want everybody to subscribe and ring the bell try this get yirsel noticed start wearing nice T shirts different colours and designs a bit of tartan on a couple of them also get a few nice hats on the T shirts and hats get printed Scotsman In Tenerife on the front of the T shirts and along the front of your hats every time you make a video people will start to notice who you are they won't have to ask and you will take of from there make sure you wear the printed hats and T shirts every time you go out day and night they will start to notice you there is shops that print T-shirts and hats I have seen them in the shopping centres keep up the good work pal I look forward to you getting 100,000 followers
Kev, you’re doing everything right, you show us as it is and if people want to go and have a euro a pint let them because they’ll stay longer in the bar and and have a few more pints then probably give them a bigger tip. Surely that evens things out. I personally love Raymond’s 2 at La Vista beach it has everything and great for people watching, and the best curry house is Star of Bengal, you should do a live there Kev. 👏👏👍

Agree with prices being at a rate which allows workers to be paid a decent wage.
The one thing that your not told is how much tips staff make, I did have a friend who's tips were on par with his wages.
That's not right heard about that before 😮
Sorry mis read that
Problem is, you give people an inch and they take a mile. Let's keep this place very very affordable. It's one of the main attractions of the place
Just found this channel, cant stop watching it !😂
Thanks !

Yip it was quiet there

The problem is all inclusive hotels taking the trade from local shops and bars , if they put prices up people will go else where
TH-cam & Tenerife Guide All-time hero!
Nice video Kevin😁👍🏴
But would they past the increase to worker's wages . Doubt it somehow !!
Yip not sure
Sooo. put the prices up pay people more.... I have had 3 wage rises since 2022 and feel no benefit WHY because all they have done is increase prices to match wage increases and so it goes on.....

Show the prices in the Dubliner and soul suite Kev the ain’t all low prices the beauty of Tenerife is you can make it what you want 🍺👍
Very true

Most hotels only serve 400ml large beers

Great video
Making a great point Kev we'll done, bar staff need to survive. Cool beer in sunshine worth more than a euro
Used to drink in Paillbot los cros 20 plus years afi .. was over €2 . Now ,€1 . Doesn't make sense. Still good beer x
Increased prices won't go to staff. The Canaries depend on tourists. Take away the value & they will lose tourists. It's fine as it is.
Bars pay about 80cents for a pint of Dorada. So selling at a euro they are not making much.
I would pay more if it helps the staff
Euro beers to me are rotten if you like a pint you will no what a mean
I love drinking the local beer and in the past travelled to tenerife to get drunk because it was cheaper than going to York for the weekend
Hotels are very expensive in tenerife

Always tip your wait staff!
The good old days Kevin 1Euro pint 3 Euro breakfast 5 Euro nice meal all good things come to an end
I have to agree with that other viewer , the Hand 🖐️ you wave about does look as if it’s fake 🖐️🤣
i never drink euro beers when am in benidorm i drink in old town avarage pint 4 euro why its because its a great pint pay even more in the belgium bar on europer i think euro pints is like look warm pee
it cant change to much, with cape verde just another hour south and up and coming it could take over
Can't see it to be honest but you never knowv

on the T shirts and hats get printed Scotsman In Tenerife on the front of the T shirts and along the front of your hats every time you make a video people will start to notice who you are they won't have to ask and you will take of from there make sure you wear the printed hats and T shirts every time you go out day and night they will start to notice you there is shops that print T-shirts and hats I have seen them in the shopping centres keep up the good work pal I look forward to you getting 100,000 followers
lol thanks maybe one day merch but doing ok i dont mind not being noticed
Can recommend apartments in Los christinos
paloma beach or hollywood mirage if you dont mind the hills
@@ScotsmaninTenerife Thank you 😊
Problem is don't your videos advertise all the cheap bars and restaurants ?
Very small percentage
its the cost of getting to tenerife
Airbnb and high rent is the problem. Rental laws have changed in 1 Spanish city already and will most likely be implemented all over Spain o-o\\
Kev, you’re doing everything right, you show us as it is and if people want to go and have a euro a pint let them because they’ll stay longer in the bar and and have a few more pints then probably give them a bigger tip. Surely that evens things out. I personally love Raymond’s 2 at La Vista beach it has everything and great for people watching, and the best curry house is Star of Bengal, you should do a live there Kev. 👏👏👍
thanks
