Long absence

Hi. It's been a long time since I even looked at tenerife  forum and either the format has changed, or it's actually a new site.

Anyway, we've been coming to Tenerife since 2007. Some years we would get here for 3 visits (always in winter time). Lots of changes over the  years, as with everywhere!

One of the  most striking, since  covid, us the increase in prices. Whilst, during  the day time, one can still get a cheap pint, lots of drinks are as expensive, or even more than at home. The measures of spirits are also smaller!! Restaurant menus are also getting  more like at home. At home, prices increased by about 30%, here it's more like 70/80%

So, I'm wondering, was there a tax increase from  the  local  government that's played a part in this?

Just wondering!?,
