There are fights in that area most nights, especially in summer

The bit where the Welsh fan staggers back across the street back the Wales side and a couple of Wales "fans" there start punching him before realising he is Welsh.
All England and Wales "fans" in that video are pathetic.

Fortunately its only a small strip and doesn't impact anybodies holiday unless you actually go there on purpose

I worked over in Tenerife for 6 months back in 2004, think I ventured down to Veronica's once. Dump of a place.

Given up on Tenerife years ago to many young drunken Brits.
Lanzarote man these days, plenty of Brits and Irish but they are a little older, wiser and know how to have fun without all that crap.
In Lanzarote at the moment the weather is 27oC and the sky cloudless

I've been to Tenerife nearly 30 times... I've never ventured near Veronicas at night, and have never seen any young drunken brits as you describe..... Seen a few young drunken Irish in lanzarote, mainly on St Patrick's day

Much better next door at Los Cristianos
I must have been there about 8 or 9 times and never seen any trouble whatsoever

El Médano is the place we go nowadays. Cool little predominantly Canarian resort not far from the airport. Great fish restaurants and lovely bars to watch the sun go down over the Montaña Roja

Never seen any trouble in nearly 30 visits..... Then again I never go near Veronica's at night
100s of places to go without venturing any where near Veronica's
Don't tarnish Tenerife because of one isolated incident

In Tenerife currently (Costa Adeje), lots of Welsh about in bucket hats, no issues at all and I don't see the any issues Tuesday either where I am.
Scrotes in Las Americas will always be scrotes in Las Americas.

More like a 150yd strip in Las Americas to be fair, absolutely no problem in the rest of the resort
