The strip has been tidied up a hell of alot since 99' I had just moved over for the first time around when they were filming Tenerife Uncovered. I was only young at the time and spent alot of time down there, I seen alot of things happening that luckily most of us will only see on the tele! (not pleasant!)
Anyhow without going into any of that, it has calmed down since, I don't go down very often and if I do i normaly go to the starco, where tramps, rags and Linekers and loads more decent bars/clubs are. This is across the road from Veronicas but further up walking towards Los cristianos way.
Im not saying the strip is safe now, but its alot quieter, the pick-pockets have all been moved on, again though not saying their are'nt any but not like it used to be, to be honest there is actualy more PR's down there than tourists!!!
It depends what you want, all I would say is try it one night and see if it's your'e scene or not. Me I will only stick to the Starco once in a blue moon, too old for it now!!!
