Find many elderly British expats in Tenerife North Puerto de la Cruz with its long track record of English fans which included Agatha Christie.
Meet the British emigrants to Tenerife downstairs in the Bellair building at the bar Robin Hood. Often, my UK friend Alan went there to enjoy soccer games in company of a British crowd.
Find them also at the British pub the Tenerife Bee Hive sports bar which isn't only loved by British expats but also by tourists with a holiday home in Tenerife.
Certainly, also discover them at the merry Irish bar, Molly Malone by the little Puerto de la Cruz harbour opposite the fishermen guild house La Cofradia.
Or even at the Paris Cafe opposite the Lido Lago Martianez.
Admire the extremely youthful 90 year old Angus Low of British expats in the picture on your right. It was taken in April 2012 in the Libraria Café of la La Longuera. Here, he is in company of an elderly English lady friend who also retired in the same suburb. By the way, meet many English speaking retirees in this part of Tenerife. They all love to go shopping at Carmen's in Toscal Longuera. Not all of the retirees own property there which includes the suburbs Los Potreros and La Romantica I and II. Some rent a holiday home in Tenerife during almost half a year to escape cold winters of Northern Europe. Some come from as far as Russia, Canada and the chillier parts of USA.
By the way I must confess that I haven't seen Angus and Steffne any more, now in 2018.
"Is it cheaper than a place in Scotland of the same standard", I asked her. No, it would be on par but it's so much nicer for en elderly person to be in sunny Tenerife", she added. Steffne moved to La Paz the Puerto Cruz suburb also, as her home in La Romantica 1 was a little damp. Now she even has nicer landlords. They spoil her and it's easy for her to see Angus every day. Oh, and the most amazing is that he learned to walk again after his hip OP, And that at the age of 93 or 94...

I see the happy 92 year old quite often. He is making an effort to walk outdoors as much as possible. He is depicted having a rest near his home in Calle Jazmin of Toscal Longuera. There, I meet him once in a while when I walk our dog. Note the push trolly next to the gentleman. He told me that this gadget is a real blessing. "So much better than crutches", he said. Mr Mills never looked back after he took his UK GP's retirement advice to relocate to Tenerife. The doctor had told him that the climate would be the best solution for his fragile health. Indeed, this helped Mr. Mills to reach a very proud old age. His condition isn't perfect now but no complaints. However, his pains by bones and joints would have been unbearable during the cold Northern winters in Great Britain. "That's for sure", he added. Besides, he is also quite content with the medical care he gets in Realejos as well as in the capital.
Depicted is the Bono Resident Canario as called lately by Titsa Tenerife transport. Even the new reduced price isn't cast in stone if you asked the Tenerife Holiday Home Insider. It's likely to be discounted even more. There's an even cheaper public transport card for pensioner expats who reside on Tenerife or any other Canary Island.
