Before you move: our read of the numbers

Practical conclusions we draw from Adeje’s figures. They are inferences, not official statistics: each says what it rests on.

Some English, but learn Spanish early

Our guess

You will meet English speakers, mostly in the centre and at international employers. Shops, landlords and schools expect Spanish. Contracts, the town hall and most doctors work in Spanish.

  • 28.6% of residents speak English (Canarias), 2021
  • 7.8% born elsewhere in Europe or in North America (Canarias)

Air-conditioning is not a luxury

Likely

Summer nights stay warm, so sleep depends on a cooled bedroom. Check for air-conditioning before you sign.

  • 182 nights a year above 20 °C
  • 0 days a year above 35 °C

Keep an eye on your phone

Likely

Thefts without violence happen 5.7 times as often as in the typical Spanish city. Keep phones and bags close in busy areas and on public transport.

  • thefts: 6,789 per 100k people
  • vs 1,182 per 100k people in the typical Spanish city
