i like to format my messages and get my wording right because i dont like to reread posts that dont make sense the first time round

the name Tenerife always makes me shudder. not only have i heard of it, i've been there. it was awful. the guy i lost my virginity to was a suave brit from Surrey on exchange at my high school. he was a grade older than me. for summer vacation he took me to tenerife, and it was an entirely horrible experience, except for being my first time abroad. he behaved badly the entire time, and i was too young and too dense to think of getting on a plane and leaving him there. thus commenced what turned out to be the beginning of a decade of romantic relationships, all of which eventually turned ugly, then crashed and burned. Fuck the Brits. um, except Joanne.

You want to find a website with Spanish phone lists. Tenerife is part of Spain, and there is one phone company in Spain: Telefonica. You can go to their website at www.telefonica.es, but ironically, the link to their white pages is broken. Go here and clicky-click your way to Spain: www.teldir.com. They link to Telefonica's white pages, and it actually works. Unfortunately, I forget which province Tenerife is in, which is necessary information on their website. BTW, payphones in Spain do not accept incoming calls, but there are quite a few privately-owned payphones (in bars and the like) which do. These will usually be connected to the establishment's regular line.
