The main population is catholic, however there is a christian church in the Apolo centre, Los Cristianos too. I haven't heard of any mosques in Tenerife, but if there is one I would tink it'd be in el Fraile where a lot of muslims reside.

I'm interested to learn about your reasons for asking this.
Tenerife is primarily Roman Catholic like the rest of Spain.

I would like to no to?

Prob one of 2 reasons :

1. He is muslim and wants to move to Tenerife , but if this is the case then why didn't you just say! (Thats one thing i love about tenerife is the no one looks at anyone differently like here in the uk)

or

2. He lives in an area full of muslims and wants to move away from them?

It would be good if we knew his reasons because if he reads the forum then he will see that everyone on here are friendly and openminded and they do not judge people

As he's from Antwerp, my guess is # 2.
Muslims and immigration is what you might refer to as a "heated topic" in Belgium, which in addition is well known for it's scandals and deep rooted corruption, nice chocolate and manneke pis.

Manneke Pis is a great bar on the patch! Jonny is a top bloke who owns it apart from his terrible fashion sense in denim cut off shorts but at the end of the day he is Belgian so we excuse him!
