'I bought breakfast in Spain and thought the price was a joke'

Tenerife has long been a favourite holiday destination for Irish tourists, and despite rising concerns about costs and over-tourism, many holidaymakers are still finding incredible value on the island. The Canary Island hotspot, which welcomed over 7 million visitors last year - including a strong Irish contingent -, is set to introduce a new 'eco tax' in 2026 aimed at protecting Mount Teide - Spain's tallest mountain and one of Tenerife's most iconic natural attractions. The charge will apply to those wanting to access the protected national park area as part of a broader effort to curb over-tourism and preserve the island's natural treasures. While there's been online chatter about rising costs for food and drink, one expat living on the island is pushing back on those claims. Speaking on TikTok, the British travel worker highlighted just how affordable Tenerife still is - especially compared to Ireland and the UK. Filming from Los Cristianos, a popular resort town beloved by the Irish, he showed off a hearty full English breakfast he picked up in local cafe La Tasca 7 for just €4.60. The plate came piled with two sausages, two rashers, toast, tomato and fried eggs - minus baked beans by choice. The sizeable feast, served on a "big plate" complete with HP sauce and enjoyed against the backdrop of the ocean, came at what he hailed an unbelievable bargain. He exclaimed: "That's the price of one pint in the UK and I've got a full English breakfast, in the sun, for [the same price]. How do they even make money selling it this cheap?". The TikTok video quickly went viral racking up almost 900,000 views and hundreds of comments. Commenters quickly jumped in to agree, with one saying: "Prices are good in Tenerife. I can't see how people say it's dear... You can find a pint for €1.50 and a breakfast for €3... and we absolutely love it." Caution, the video below contains some strong language. Another added: "We went there after the markets and it was so nice! Nice spot to people watch, enjoy the view, and was super cheap compared to most other places." Someone else said: "Not bad the price, over here you can't get it for under €8 and it's not even that decent." Still, not everyone agreed. A few pointed out that not all of Spain is as cheap as Tenerife, with one commenter noting: "It used to be cheap for Brits. Not anymore". Someone else mentioned: "It's not like that in all of Spain, in Tenerife the taxes are way lower then the rest of Spain, don't expect those prices everywhere." The debate even sparked some playful commentary over the choice of cuisine. One teased: "You in Tenerife and eating English breakfast? You okay?", as another showed amusement at the dining decision: "It always baffles me why people go to an exotic country to order an English breakfast." The lack of beans on his plate also caught attention. One commentated quipped: "Can't trust no one that don't like beans that's diabolical". A different user simply inquired: "How can anybody not like beans".

I tried the European train that runs from seaside to city – it felt like a first class flight but cost just £40

AFTER tucking into the smoked salmon, pesto and cream cheese brioche hand­ed to me by a smiling attendant, I reclined in my seat while the landscape flashed by. It might sound like the first-class cabin of an airline, but I'm actually on a Polish train. 5 The intercity high-speed trains that run from the pretty port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast down to the stately southern city of Krakow, pictured Credit: Getty 5 A first-class ticket, complete with food, drink and a rolling vista of wonderful views, costs around £40 Credit: Getty The intercity high-speed trains that run from the pretty port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast down to the stately southern city of And a first-class ticket, complete with food, drink and a rolling vista of wonderful views, costs around £40 for the 300-mile journey. The British equivalent would be taking a train from London to Glasgow. But you'd need to add a zero to the price at peak times. Gdansk wears its history lightly but respectfully. READ MORE ON TRAVEL This is where World War Two started, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein bombed the port of what was then called Danzig. There's a huge museum in a slanting building dedicated to the conflict ( which takes pains to concentrate on witness testimonies from ordinary Polish citizens who lived through the war. The sheer size of the tank that sits on a recreated city street puts paid to any Hollywood notions of war being anything other than an ­exercise in terror. Gdansk's nightlife is every bit as lively as you would expect from a port city, but the cliché of rough ­sailors' pubs has long gone. The Mercure Hotel offers knockout cocktails in its chic bar, while I also sampled sublime local vodkas to a DJ soundtrack amid the battered Chesterfield sofas inside Bar Lamus. Most read in News Travel The train south to Krakow takes just over five hours and runs right through the centre of the country. Leaving the Baltic coast, we passed vast fields of racing green, clusters of birch trees, red painted barns and deserted rural stations with flowerbeds outside. Iconic steam train Tornado delights crowds as it powers through Cornwall on rail tour Arrows of sunlight pierced tapering lanes and turned the glossy, ­depthless rivers and streams the colour of pewter. For a country that has seen so much bloodshed, from a high-speed train, the nation looks ordered, calm and reassuringly familiar — like the landscapes of Lincolnshire or Kent from half a century ago. As I order a glass of white wine, we run through the teeming cluster of Warsaw, with its mowed parks and jumble of new skyscrapers in the background. An afternoon nap was inviting, but I was once again transfixed by the landscapes as we rolled further south. Ice-cream-scoop clouds hung above stout houses with roofs the colour of strong tea. 5 Gdansk wears its history lightly but respectfully Credit: Getty 5 There's a huge museum in a slanting building dedicated to the conflict Credit: Getty 5 Soviet tank in Gdansk museum Credit: Alamy I felt I could sit on this train for ever. But Krakow is the end of the high-speed line, and so I made my way on foot into the Old Town — a pleasing maze of arcades and ­courtyards that meanders past the majestic royal castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill and down to the ­Vistula River. Dinner came courtesy of Pod Baranem ( which looks like a Polish granny's living room but serves delicious plates of local classics such as dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese and roast veal with mushrooms. Back at the funky, loft-style Mercure Fabryczna hotel, I fell into bed feeling I needed to rethink my definitions of luxury travel. You don't need five-star cruise liners or infinite air miles to travel in style. A Polish train can make you feel pampered in a way that's unlikely to ever occur on National Rail.
