| Why choose Tenerife for retirement Most people choose Tenerife for the climate & the relaxing way of life, providing you do not have to work. The cost of living is much cheaper than in the UK on the whole. But if you have to work it is relative with the low wages paid on the Island. Eventually a lot of elderly people return to the UK due to health reasons. So if you can afford private health insurance in Tenerife, it is well worth buying. jaypeeps |
