Tenerife's secret SHANTY TOWN: Hard up ex-pats live in shacks away from hotels

This is the sprawling 'shanty town' in Tenerife where Brits and Europeans have been forced to live after falling through the cracks of the Spanish system.A double whammy of Covid lockdowns and a surge in Airbnb-style properties - there are now more than 20,000 on the island - has left many with little work and few affordable places to live.The encampment is on a cascading hillside in Costa Adeje, just a few hundred metres away from luxury hotels and less than 10 kilometres from the bustling resort of Los Cristianos.
