Dude I live in Tenerife born and raised, the “south” of the island which is what we call the tourist part and I mean spring break mixed with old retired perople… they have ghettos and communities just with germans, just with russians, jsut with british…
The issue salaries are shit here because the status quo wants it to remain like that despite protests, we have the climate so all efforts go into hotels, services and takin as much money from those tourists that make 3x as much as we do.
And ever since like the early 2000’s they started bit by bit buying cheap (for them) and making entire spaces full foreign communities, with their own bars, supermarkets… nobody speaks spanish there NOBODY! you go into a small 7/11 in some areas in Los Cristianos or Las Chafiras and ask for something adn they look at you like YOU re foreigner
Now to sum to that then the BOOM of temp tourists renting happened and it made everything even worse.
