Tenerife. Quality of life.

Probably the people or clients that we have envied most over the years are the swallows. These are the retired couples who come to Tenerife on or about the first of October and remain here until end of March.
The Tenerife all year round climate enables them to:

• discard their winter wardrobe.
• dispense with central heating.
• enjoy the freedom of the outdoors daily instead of being prisoners of the weather in the north European countries.

Many have purchased in the Playa de Las Americas area where they are within easy walking distance of all educational, commercial and sports and social facilities and, of course, the ocean and beaches. Sometimes these are the forgotten tourists since they live quietly, participate in local social activities and contribute in a significant way to the local economy. Perhaps they are more worthy of cultivation than the tourists who come for ten days or two weeks!
Towards end of Spring the swallows take off to their countries of origin and enjoy the grandchildren and the home summer weather. What a delightful mix that we are sure ads about five years to their normal life expectancy.
For happy and healthy retirement there are few places in the world that can match the magical island of Tenerife. Perhaps, even the snowbirds migrating south to Florida from Canada each winter may take note!!
