A violent brawl between two young British female holidaymakers in one of Tenerife’s most popular nightlife areas has once again drawn public attention to the growing concerns over tourist behaviour in the south of the island.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of the weekend, was captured on video and shared widely on Instagram via the account @tenerifequejasvecinales, which frequently posts complaints and reports from local residents.
The footage shows the two women physically assaulting each other in the middle of the street opposite Las Verónicas, the main area for nightclubs in Playa de Las Américas. In the video, some bystanders can be seen encouraging the fight, while others attempt to intervene and separate the two women.
The video has led to a wave of criticism on social media, with many expressing frustration and concern over repeated incidents of anti-social behaviour in the area. Comments such as “This is becoming unbearable” and “What a disgrace, and it’s only getting worse” reflect growing public feeling.
Local residents have long complained about the unruly atmosphere in Veronicas, particularly during peak tourist seasons. This latest incident has added weight to calls for increased police presence and tighter regulation of nightlife activity, as communities want to reclaim a sense of order and safety in their neighbourhoods.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the altercation, but the video’s widespread circulation has already reignited debates about the impact of mass tourism on public order and safety in Tenerife’s most visited areas.
