Tenerife - tourist tax?
We are looking to visit Tenerife in December, staying in a hotel. The travel agent advised us that we will have to pay 3 or 4 euros per person, per night, in tourist tax. Checking on-line, it appears the Canary Is haven't introduced a tourist tax and appear unwilling to do so. Who is correct? Any recent visitors? Thanks
