To answer your first question - Yes, every day, as we live there:D
To answer your second question, the beach is now fully operational with beach bar open, permanent parasols, and sunbeds available. Also a lifeguard on duty. :)
As to bars, I dont think there have been many changes.

My daughter and her kids and friends were at my sons villa for 10 days. They loved the villa but felt that Calleo was too quiet for them. We have been to Calleo many times and we love it but we are retired and like a peaceful holiday. We went out every evening for a meal at different restaurants and the beach has opened and we felt it was a good place for seeing the island on the buses.
Went 3 weeks ago - sat at the café and had beers and coffee - blissful -very quiet - just as we love it!

Callao really is a missed opportunity, it could be such a nice exclusive little place. The two or three bars on the road down to the beach all have the view blocked by the ugly Danish hotel. The strip of bars in Esmeralda leave a lot to be desired, and the Plywood extensions look like shanty town. Underneath that strip you have a nice modern bar (Arnie's), but the complex itself is dirty and grotty, and in need of major surgery. Don't get me wrong I like Callao, but unless it gets a major facelift, it's not a place that tourists would rush back to. Easy to improve, Pedestrianize the road down to the beach up to the pavement level, nice tables and chairs, that would be a good cheap start.

May & June are the 2 quietest months and it is picking up again with the start of the summer holidays.
We have lived in Callao for 8 years and really like it as a place to live and work. It is not Las Americas and anyone coming to Callao Salvaje expecting that type of resort will be dissapointed. However if you want the bright lights they are only 15 minutes away.
The facilities in the village are improving, and are much better than they were a couple of years ago. The council has adopted the village and that has made a difference in street cleaning, lighting etc. There are also far fewer empty shops than there were, which considering we have been in recession since 2008 shows that things are on the up.
There are some very nice restaurants, our favourite in the village is Sorpresa Sorpresa, where we have eaten many times and the food is always good. We also often eat at Casa Maria, or have lunch at Buzz Inn bar. The new Italian coffee shop Il Dolcetto is very popular, as is Eclipse cafe. The bread in the new French bakery Gormandises is delicous, and the butchers is also very popular.
The beach has been well received and is increasingly popular. Yes, it is a shame that it isn't proper sand, but it has made a fantastic space that is a real asset to the village and an immense improvement on what we had before.
Callao Salvaje is a great place to stay, the locals are friendly, it has a good mixture of bars and restaurants, and some nightlife in the bars in the evening. If you want to go out for a show or other entertainment then the other resorts are not far away. However if your idea of a holiday is Veronicas then Callao Salvaje is not the place for you. :)

As residents you probably have different criteria to tourists. Casa Maria, yes food has always been OK, but have you used the toilets lately and slipped on the grease on the floor on the way there? The Buzz inn yes, again OK, but do you want to eat in a Car Park.
Sorpresa Sorpresa, nice food but overpriced, just walk in a little further and look at the repair state of that underground area. Then walk up the steps and look at the outside of the other bars on that floor and the 10 year old furniture (and they are all closed lunchtimes). This is not what the new image of Tenerife needs. As I have said I am ok with the place because I've known it for 20 years. But unless its brought up to date, its gonna stay empty.

Any up-to-date development on the construction of the coastal walkway between Playa Paraiso and Callao?

I am with Delderk on this one, I live in Callao and I walk everyday. I cant help
but notice the neglect and scruffiness of the area in general. I know there is not a lot of money about but if the businesses want to attract more visitors
they have to start and clean up their bit. Tatty whicker chairs, peeling paintwork, neglected raised flower beds, litter, you name it, its down there.
The residents are also responsible for the dog pooh which is not cleaned up,
the pathway from the bottom road round the back leading to the Aguaviva
apartments is a disgrace, the stench is horrendous. Visitors wont come back
if they dont find it comfortable. The walk from Playa Pariaso doesnt seem to
have started as yet, perhaps its just as well because folk doing this walk I doubt they will stay in Callao as it is, not a very pretty place.
