Canary Islands - Tenerife

July 1-5, 2001 (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. It is very wealthy as evidenced by the numerous resort developments as well as the well-maintained roads and infrastructure. It is a very popular destination for Europeans and is akin to what Hawaii is to the US. The nightlife in some of the more popular areas has the atmosphere of a year-round spring break.

The restaurant was called El Romantico. Certainly the stain on this guys' pants was far from that.

Grand casino from the exterior. Inside it sucked. No tables, just slots.

The clubs of Playa de las Americas were all packed, mostly with young Europeans.

The scene was reminiscent of Spring Break down in Florida except it occurs year round here.

None of the bars and clubs had covers either so it was just walk in and walk out

That yellow thing way out on the water looks like a typical "Howard/Alvin throw a tennis ball up in the air" photo
