A recent study ranking Santa Cruz de Tenerife as the municipality with the worst manners in Spain has sparked debate, with content creator Ángel Revuelta refuting the findings by emphasizing the island's daily service kindness.

In a digital landscape often dominated by negativity and easy criticism, it is refreshing when external voices highlight qualities that residents sometimes take for granted. The recent publication of a study by the Preply platform, which designates Santa Cruz de Tenerife as the municipality with the worst manners in Spain, has generated some indignation.
However, this perception has met with a strong rebuttal from content creator Ángel Revuelta. In a video that has garnered thousands of interactions, Revuelta dismisses the report, stating: “Those people have never lived in Tenerife.”

"The other day I filled up my car in Puerto de la Cruz and the girl treated me so well that I felt like hugging her. The gesture of wishing a 'happy day' is a norm on the Island and an 'exception' elsewhere."

Revuelta's argument does not focus on the island's tourist attractions or landscapes, but rather on the quality of everyday service, exemplified by interactions at gas stations or supermarkets. The young man shares personal experiences, such as the kindness he received while refueling in Puerto de la Cruz, emphasizing that the courtesy of wishing a “happy day” is a common practice in Tenerife, unlike in other regions.
