Forums are a great place for residents and visitors to make friends and get advice and help about all sorts of aspects relating to visiting or living on Tenerife.
The two main forums for Tenerife are ‘Tenerife Forum’ and ‘The Tenerife Forum’ and in design are almost identical.
Confused? I was, but apparently it’s a long story, so don’t ask.

Both are very friendly and a great way to get to know people if you’re new to the island. There are slight differences between both forums, but the best thing to do is dip a toe in and see which suits you best, or do what some people do - join both.

One observation: As most British ex-pats live in the south of Tenerife, the focus of many forum topics relates to that area. If you live in, or are visiting an area outside of the main southern resort areas, you might find this makes it of limited value.
