Tapas and seafood blew me away, prices fair if you eat where locals go. Nightlife is low-key after midnight.
Nice enough, but felt underwhelming compared to Gran Canaria, some streets looked tired and tourist traps are obvious.
Two full days cover the highlights, but a week lets you relax on beaches and take a day trip to Teide.
Get the TITSA Bono bus card, it slashes fares and you can top up at kiosks. Single tickets add up fast.
Skip restaurants by Plaza de España, walk two blocks inland for authentic tapas and much better prices.
