background
Costa Adeje was created a few decades ago on the southwest coast of Tenerife. The city borders on the tourist stronghold to the south Playa de las Americas, hardly a local has settled here either. In the case of the plant, care was taken to locate upper middle class plants as far as possible. In Costa Adeje there are predominantly 4 and 5 star hotels that have a well-groomed appearance and can satisfy more demanding tourists. These come from all over Europe, menus in restaurants are often printed in 10 different languages.

Since there are different tax and customs conditions in the Canary Islands than in motherland Spain, shopping can be worthwhile.

nightlife
Costa Adeje has a distinctive nightlife to offer. There is always something going on here. You can always find a bar or a nightclub that is still open whenever. And if that is not enough, you can also go after Playa de las Americas go and find something.

Practical advice
As a tourist city, Costa Adeje is quite clear. You are generous in distributing city maps, but they are also always advertising media. Still, they are very helpful. You can easily find the way to the beach and then you are already at the beach promenade, which extends all the way to Los Cristianos extends. The shopping mile also merges seamlessly into the shopping mile of Playa de las Américas and then into that of Los Cristianos. Here you can shop 24 hours a day, everything your heart desires. Many things are definitely cheaper than in Germany, but be careful, the sellers are very smart. You have to know what you want and, above all, what you don't want.
In Costa Adeje you have a connection to at least one cell phone network almost everywhere. You can also find coin-operated telephones almost everywhere here, but they are becoming fewer and fewer because it is no longer worthwhile for the providers. You can also find internet cafés where you can check your e-mails, and most hotels also offer hotspots (some of which are subject to a charge) where you can access the internet. Post to Germany is usually quick. It is brought quickly to its destination via the many flight connections. So you don't have to worry that the card you write home won't arrive until you are back home.
