Telde is a quiet but nice town, well connected to the capital, Las Palmas. Local people are in general friendly and approchable. It has nice and picturesque areas to visit such as the the old part of the town, the "San juan" and "San Francisco" area. Its main commercial area and town centre is the area of "San Gregorio", where you can find shops, bars, banks. There are also nice restaurants where you can eat really well at a cheap price. As for the night life, it's actually not bad at all, exept on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and a little bit less on wednesday when the town is generally quite 'dead'. From thursday till Saturday night, especially in the San juan area, you are spoilt for choice of places to go out (bars, discobars, 'terrazas' etc.. etc..) and you can have fun till 4/5 in the morning. There are a few bars and a club also in the San Gregorio area and a wine/lounge bar in the avenida del cabildo insular which displays art work of local artist and also gigs
