Champions of the world

On the endless night of celebrations to greet the team in Madrid, trainer Vicente del Bosque said it wasn’t just winning that was important, but how the cup was won that mattered. And for fans of the beautiful game all over the world this is indeed true. Spain play great football, flowing, open, with creative mid field passing, good strikers and solid defending – Iker Casillas was as instrumental as Iniesta on the night – and are inspiring to watch. Interesting too that

n retrospect, you feel it was written in the stars. Spain are justifiably World Champions, and though the final may not have been the dream match everyone wanted, the ending was the stuff of nightmares for the Dutch and the beginning of a party that is still going on for the Red Armada. The boy from Abades, Pedrito, a firm favourite with the fans

many of their players have come up through the youth training schemes of some of the top clubs, adding to the sense of ‘team’ that is sometimes missing from other national selections.

worth attending. Along with Gran Canaria’s David Silva, who will line out for Manchester City next season, these islands had two excellent ambassadors of the game throughout the tournament. The World Cup may be over but the euphoria will linger. For many ex-pats living here, regardless of their countr y of birth, cheering for Spain in the final was a pleasure, and a reaffirmation of all that we like about this country. Viva España!

Work restarts Granadilla port

ork on the controversy-plagued new port in Granadilla is set to recommence immediately following notification by the Tenerife Port Authority to the construction companies to push ahead with the building of the jetty.

Work was halted back in February on the orders of a Canarian court, which ruled that the port affected marine life protected by regional legislation. The government has since amended the list of protected species to downgrade the protection afforded and thus get around the order. The Authority now says there are no hurdles to the port now and has told the two firms to restart the work as soon as possible.

When in financial difficulties in Tenerife…

n advisor to US president Barack Obama is to take part in this year’s Adeje summer school.

Juan Verde, who is from Telde, in Gran Canaria, but has made a career for himself in political circles in Washington, will give a talk on environmental protection during the second week of the university’s fortnight of seminars (26-30 July). Verde advises Obama on EU affairs, particularly matters relating to the environment and biodiversity. He has had close contact with other Democratic presidents, having worked in Washington during the Clinton years, as well as liaising closely with Al Gore as part of his green team following heightened awareness of environmental issues on a global scale after the success of the film, An Inconvenient Truth. He also heads up the Spanish branch of the Gore initiative, The Climate Project. Speaking on a similar theme

last year in La Gomera, Verde said, “there are many people who believe that sustainability or the fight against climate change is a luxury and frankly I believe that they are completely wrong....in the first place, without a world, a planet, there’s no economy. This is a time of possibilities. In the Chinese culture the word ‘crisis’ is made up of two symbols, the one for danger

and the one for opportunity. That’s the kind of thinking we need to adopt”. Juan Verde is the second high-profile name to figure in this year’s

You and your island

Getting to know your island is the idea behind the latest campaign launched recently by Turismo de Tenerife which is called Este verano, Tenerife y tú (This summer, Tenerife and you). The difference this time though is that the campaign is aimed at residents, with some great promotions and offers on accommodation, entries to theme parks, leisure activities and car hire. The island’s tourism chief José Manuel Bermúdez underlined the fact that more and more Canarian residents are spending their holidays on the island, stating that, “their numbers exceeded 500,000 in 2009, which is 33 per cent of the 1,450,000 Spanish tourists who visited us last year”. He added that, “Canarian clients have shown us that

they are the most loyal to Tenerife”. Through this campaign, residents of any of the Canary islands are invited to get to know the tourist attractions of Tenerife. To take advantage of this, you need to visit the website www.disfrutadetodo.com and enter the Central de Reservas de Tenerife (reservations centre) where you will find promotions offered by the first companies to join the campaign which will last until mid-August and will be promoted with radio, press and digital advertising. More companies will be added as and when they join up. Statistically, Canarian visitors are mostly younger than the Spanish average, and also younger than the average ages of visitors of other nationalities which regularly visit Tenerife. They typically prefer to stay in private or rural accommodation, especially in the Santa Cruz or Puerto de la Cruz areas. Some 76.6 per cent of them are repeat visitors and of these, 39.9 per cent come here at least twice a year.

Padrón The ‘padrón’ is a register kept by local councils of all those resident in their borough. Everyone who lives in Spain is obliged to register on the ‘padrón’. Those who do not register may not use municipal services such as cultural classes, excursions for pensioners and, most importantly social services.

he Beach Boys may be getting on a bit but, unlike other legendar y bands and singers still touring worldwide, they showed in Tenerife that they still have what it takes to entertain fans, rather than sur vive on the sympathy vote. The crowd that turned out for their concert at the Santiago Martin Stadium in La Laguna on July 7 may have been on the small side (the 5,000-seater venue was only about half full) but Mike Love and his fellow ‘Surfers’ did not seem to mind in the least and offered up a feast of memory music which had fans dancing in the aisles and in their seats for almost two hours. Organisers LM Producciones showed Spain’s World Cup semi-final on big screens before the concert which was followed by the warm-up band, a local rockabilly outfit which goes under the bizarre name of Pornosurf, whose three members were obviously delighted to be fronting their maestros. “We can die happy now”, one of them shouted to the crowd as they left the stage. At 10.40pm the seven ‘Beach Boys’ (original members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, with their backing band of five) entered the fray wearing their trademark baseball caps and appeared to have laid a bet with each other as to how long it would take to get the crowd to move from their seats in the different tiers of the stadium down to the front of the house for a night of dancing rather than applause from above. Annoying as it may have been to those who paid for the most expensive seats at ground level (this is a common issue at the venue), the ‘cheapies’ were down within minutes and the area around the stage took on a more ‘concerty’ air, even before Love and Co. had finished the opening medley, which included Catch a Wave, Two Girls for Every Boy, Let’s Go Surfin’ Now and

Surfer Girl. Mind you, the band had already endeared itself to the crowd with opening words acknowledging Spain’s massive win over Germany and within a few minutes the occasional hat was being tossed out for a lucky fan to keep as a souvenir. The impressive opening salvo was followed immediately by an even more impressive medley of When I Grow Up To Be A Man, Do You Wanna Dance, Don’t Worry Baby, Little Deuce Coupe and, getting the biggest cheer of the night so far, I Get Around, which just about sums the Beach Boys up at present. They arrived in Tenerife from Sweden, spent a few days relaxing in a hotel in the south of the island, played in La Laguna, headed off to the Costa Brava immediately for another gig and then back to the US for a mammoth nationwide tour. Although they may not get around the actual stage very much when performing (due to age, perhaps, theirs is not a concert laden with flashy histrionics but a smoothly orchestrated and well-oiled machine that slips effortlessly from one number into another), they certainly come up with the goods, safe in the knowledge

that the first chords of smash hits such as Good Vibrations, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Help Me Rhonda and, above all, Barbara Ann – were enough to send the crowd into raptures. Add to this (all in the same sequence) the wonderful rendering of Sloop John B, which brought a change in lyrics from the crowd, who bellowed ‘We don’t wanna go home’ throughout, and the closing Surfin’ USA, and you had the perfect cocktail for the multinational Tenerife audience, which contained an astounding proportion of young people, many of whom could not have ever seen the band originally or heard the songs when they first came out. Mike Love was unsurprised at the audience mix of young and old. In an

interview with a local paper on concert day, he predicted such a rare blend: “we always see very young fans at our gigs. We know, for example, that many of our best-known songs are among the most popular downloads for Ipods etc, so that tells you a lot. It is proof that 60s music transcends generations”. One group of 20-something year-olds emerged from the Stadium absolutely wowed by the night’s entertainment, while Island Connections competition winners, sisters Eileen McGuire and Denise Seddon, who travelled up from Buzanada in good time to take in the football also, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Lanzarote

Fast-tracking Lanzarote school

anzar ote’s British school has made the UK headlines thanks to the success of one of its former pupils. The Colegio Hispano Británico merited a mention in the Daily Mail as the school responsible, initially at least, for producing Britain’s youngest doctor. Blackpool-born but Lanzarote-raised Faye Hill, the daughter of a vet on the island, graduates with her medical degree from Manchester University in mid-July and goes into the record books given that she is not yet 22 but is already about to begin a two-year rotation at Royal Preston Hospital, after which she hopes to specialise in paediatrics. The publication

The school is proud of its list of young high achievers

of her Lanzarote background prompted a flurr y of media calls to the school, where staff are delighted at her success because it underlines not just the high standard of teaching but also its flexible approach, which has seen many bright pupils like Faye fast-tracked by being allowed to skip a year or two. Faye completed the first nine year-groups of schooling in just six years because her phenomenal rate of learning was soon identified as being 50 per cent faster than the normal outstanding pupil. School head Roger Deign told Island Connections the fast-tracking is “something we do a lot” and the practice has merited attention from, among others, the Times Education

Supplement (TES) which ran a feature a few years ago on the achievements of pupils like Faye and her colleague Cecil Remmler, who got 12 GCSE’s at grade C or above at the tender age of just 13. “In addition to the youngest doctor I think we can also claim Britain’s youngest qualified vet, who left here in 2000 to study at Bristol University” says Deign, who is extremely proud of the Hispano Británico’s record of channelling its pupils to top UK universities well ahead of time. Recent examples include Julian Kadow who entered Bath University to study Chemical Engineering when he was still 16 years of age. Julian was also awarded a certificate by Cam-

bridge for obtaining the highest mark in the Spanish region for his exam in German Literature. Deign is equally proud of the achievements of non-English mother tongue pupils who more than make the grade. “One young lad from the local fishing village here had never set foot outside Lanzarote in his life before heading to Oxford University” recalls the head of the 287-pupil school, whose make-up has changed considerably in recent years. As Deign explains, “the British population has been decimated with the taming of timeshare, the all-inclusive hotels strangling the bars and the recent financial crisis. This year’s enrolment was 47 per cent Spanish, 26 per cent British, and the rest German, Irish, Indian, etc”. Still, there have to be some downsides to early achievement. Faye Hill’s first bid to enter university was blocked on age grounds and she had to look for a traineeship with the Health Service to put her time to good use until she turned 17, when she was accepted on her five-year degree course at Manchester, although she soon found that some places were out of bounds: licensing laws meant she could not use the student’s union during her first year and her young age also caused problems with her first mobile phone contract.

Action needed

Puerto Rico’s ‘slow death’ G

ran Canaria resor t Puerto Rico is ‘dying a slow death’, according to local tourism business.

The last eight years have seen a gradual but increasingly pronounced downturn in fortunes, which local shops, bars and restaurants say is fast becoming irreversible. Juan Carlos Alvarez, the chairman of the Puerto Rico Business Association, says although the cause is largely due to the popularity of the nearby Amadores beach (particularly its free parking), the blame must also lie at Mogán council’s doorstep for not modernising the resort. “We depend heavily on tourists from mainland Spain for much of the year but numbers have been falling of late, because we

are considered an old holiday resort. Although the beaches may look busy with locals, most of them bring all they need for the day or week-end and rarely spend anything” says Alvarez, adding that bar and restaurant revenue has diminished by 60 per cent in the last four years, with a similar tale being told by Puerto Rico’s many shops. The association has reiterated its plea for action to be taken to curb the growing number of timeshare touts who operate on the seafront in the resort. “Many days you see up to 20 touts handing out coupons for free taxis to a well-known complex not far from here, where tourists are given a free drink and a tour. The effect on our members is very noticeable” says Alvarez.

The Amadores beach is extremely popular with holiday makers

The lucky 20 students before they set off on their African adventure

20 Canarian teenagers are spending almost a fortnight in Senegal as part of a twinning project organised by the regional government. The 20, who were selected from 200 15-17 year-olds who applied to take part in the scheme, have been paired with Senegalese counterparts for the duration of the visit, which takes in Dakar, St Louis, the island of Gorée and other parts of the African country in a 600 km tour. The Canarian and Senegalese governments have organised a series of seminars, workshops and leisure activities to help the 40 teenagers get to know each other’s respective countries better. Elsa Casas, the Canaries’ foreign relations officer, said the idea was to plant the seeds of a longstanding relationship between both sides. The Canaries currently have around 60 cooperation projects with the country, which is one of the region’s biggest trading partners in Africa.

Policía Canaria

Doubts surface over new police

The entry into service of the new regional police force has raised fresh concerns over its exact duties and possible overlaps with the Spanish police and Civil Guard. Canarian president Paulino Rivero attended the passing out parade of the force’s first intake of 100 officers a few weeks ago and announced that its first mission would be for “crowd control and support for other enforcement bodies” at La Palma’s fiestas during the summer. The news prompted Spain’s biggest police union to publicly demand clarification of the Canarian force’s duties. The SUP union reiterated its long-held opinion that the newly-created force was an unnecessary luxury in times of crisis but now that it was going ahead its role needed to be established clearly to avoid disputes. “So far we have only been told that the Canarian police will look after regional government buildings and protect dignitaries. We understand that the need is felt for a deployment in La Palma in July as a ‘getting to know us’ exercise but many grey areas still exist” said a source. The Civil Guard has also asked the Interior Ministry for clear instructions as to the Canarian force’s powers. Defending the need for the regional police along the lines of similar bodies in Catalonia and the Basque Country, the Canarian government insists that officers drawn exclusively from here are better placed to cater for the law enforcement needs of the population.

Appendicitis

Diagnosis delay

The mother of a 10-yearold boy is seeking answers from the Health Service after hospital doctors took two months to accept that her son’s crippling abdominal pains were due to appendicitis.

he youngster was hospitalised twice in Las Palmas but was discharged because doctors could find nothing wrong with him. “They began to ask all sorts of questions about whether he was happy at school and at home, giving us the impression they thought he was faking. One doctor angered us by saying our son had to go because they ‘needed the bed for more urgent cases’”, explained his mother María Pita.

nly after they turned to a private doctor and asked for more tests did it emerge that he was suffering from acute appendicitis, which could have proved fatal if peritonitis had set in due to the delay in operating. “He is now fine but he lost nearly two months at school because of their failure to diagnose

his appendicitis and, worse, their refusal to take his pain complaints seriously” said María, who wants official answers to her many questions about the handling of the case.

Jehovah’s Witness

Week-end draws 3,500

Gran Canaria’s football stadium attracted a different type of week-end crowd earlier in July when the Las Palmas branch of Jehovah’s Witnesses held their annual congress at the venue.

round 3500 Witnesses from Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura attended the 3three -day event, which included a formal baptism for 40 new members, whose ages ranged from 11 to 76, according to local media. A giant aboveground swimming pool was brought in especially for the ceremonies.

The authorities in Lanzarote say they want a full apology from prestigious newspaper the Financial Times for claiming that the island is under investigation from Unesco and could lose its World Biosphere Reserve status. The local Cabildo is to file a formal protest not just with the London paper but with the British Embassy in Madrid and the Spanish government over what it says are ‘to-

tally unfounded allegations’ that have already caused irreparable damage to the island’s tourist image. Spain’s Environment Ministry says no investigation has been ordered by Unesco to withdraw the Biosphere distinction due to the number of illegal hotels in Lanzarote. The Financial Times published details at the start of July of an investigation which, they reported, could prompt UN body UNESCO to withdraw the distinction, made in

1993. According to the newspaper, the island’s biosphere status was under review because of hotel developers’ breaches of local planning rules. The FT, which highlighted the large number of local officials arrested in connection with illegal planning permits, added that millions of euros in EU subsidies to Lanzarote may have to be returned due to misuse. The article stated, “Unesco said these cases could jeopardise Lanzarote’s biosphere status, which has helped the island win special grants and funding. Meriem Bouamrane of Unesco said: “Lanzarote had a very good application. Mass tourism was not something they were developing. They promoted sustainable tourism that was more respectful to the environment.”

Santa Cruz

Rastro president

Hear no evil

Deaf-mute scammers caught

persuaded to stay

Two young women who targeted tourists in Santa Cruz for donations to a non-existent charity could face prosecution for fraud.

he pair, believed to be Romanian, approached foreign visitors to the city and invited them to sign a petition calling for more resources to be allocated to facilities for deaf and dumb youngsters in Tenerife. They then harassed their victims for contributions to a home for the children.

ccording to local daily, Diario de Avisos, the president of the popular Rastro in Santa Cruz, Carmen Tejera, recently announced her resignation.

olice were alerted to the presence of the pair by a passer-by who was concerned at their aggressive behaviour towards tourists. When stopped the young women, who pretended to be deaf mutes, were carrying a petition on paper bearing a forged Cabildo logo to make it look official and over €200 in cash.

Her reason was that she did not agree with the fact that all Rastro market traders, including ‘illegal’ vendors, are obliged to pay for a licence. “We are in a crisis”, she said, “there are lots of people who take advantage of the Rastro to make a bit of money selling secondhand goods”. Apparently, of the 1,000 sellers who occupy the space, there are some 200 illegal vendors who Carmen is defending. However, at a recent meeting her fellow traders rejected her resignation and voted for her reelection. She told them that she had received much criticism, and said that she had “left the Council in handcuffs, had a confrontation with the police, the residents...... but if I have to fight for what is ours, I will”, a statement which was met with applause and affection.

Island Connections has in the past covered the situation in which the Rastro finds itself. In 2008, certain local neighbours made of ficial complaints about the market, to the extent that it was threatened with being moved to a less favourable location. Their reason for this was that the market was located too close to the presidential headquarters. Carmen commented, “those who complain about the Rastro do so because they want to make money out of

it”. Fedeco (the Federación de Comercio de Tenerife) lawyer, Carlos Ravelo, asked “that the law be complied with and that the authorisations and licences be renewed”. Ravelo indicated that he has already written to the mayor, Miguel Zerolo, and requested that unauthorised vendors should not be allowed. For Fedeco, this would form the perfect solution as the Rastro would then be honouring the Royal Decree which establishes, at a national level, a series of regulations relating to quality and sales from markets.

of the city’s economy.

Regarding these licences, Carmen stated, “the vendors pay the council and, those who haven’t are still within the time limit to do so”. Apparently, Santa Cruz council has no problem with the Rastro and considers it a vital element

Carmen commented, “I am not scared of Fedeco. I have always had the support of the Coalicíon Canaria.... there are people who want to make money out of the poor, we are not going to allow that, we are people who

However, Fedeco say that the image of the Rastro, “is maybe not adequate for a municipality such as Santa Cruz because it is all over the place, not uniform in appearance, lacks services and often the stock is displayed on the ground”. Fedeco has opted for measures adopted by other flea markets in Spain which are an attraction because they take care of their image, organisation, uniformity and services. Fedeco believes strongly that, “this has to be the future of the Rastro, not the way it looks now”.

t is not the first time this and similar cons have been detected in Tenerife. Several tourists have used holiday forums to alert to the activities of people posing as deaf mutes in the resorts. In most cases the beggars visit restaurants and bars, leaving cards and cheap lighters on diners’ tables to request money. One suspicious forum contributor described how he had caught one easily out by dropping a coin after he had left the table. The ‘deaf’ man turned round immediately to pick it up!

She continued, “I thought I was alone in this, but I have had the support of all my friends and the CC, and thanks to them the Rastro is what it is”. Santa Cruz councillor for neighbourhood security Hilario Rodríguez confirmed that he would, “defend the Rastro”, and that he would accompany Carmen to the Cabildo, the Council and the Canarian Government” to find a solution. It is to be hoped that there are not too many changes made to this free and independent market, on which at least 700 poor families in Santa Cruz depend to make a living.

Drug haul

Cocaine seizure off Tenerife

The Spanish authorities have chalked up another success against international drug traffickers with a major seizure in international waters off Tenerife.

Civil Guard patrol boat based in Los Cristianos intercepted a yacht carrying nearly three tons of cocaine, one of the biggest hauls in recent times in the Canaries. The drugs were taken off the yacht and disembarked amid tight security in Los Cristianos to be destroyed.

he interception and arrest of ten people culminated an operation which began around a year ago when Spanish police received a tip-off about the activities of the gang behind several drug shipments from Colombia. The same Civil Guard unit was responsible for the interception of a yacht carrying over two tons of cocaine 30 miles off Tenerife in 2006.

El hierro

Japanese interest

El Hierro could be used as an energy model for a small group of Japanese islands following the recent visit by a top academic from the country.

oichiri Koike, an economist from the University of Shimane, spent a few days on El Hierro to learn more about its drive to become self-sufficient in terms of energy, particularly the innovative power station that will generate electricity for the small island using wind and wave power only. The station, which is due to enter service in 2011, has been singled out by the European Commission for its contribution to the EU’s bid to have renewable energy sources provide 20 per cent of all power generated by 2020. Dr Koike met with local officials and senior managers at the new power station to discuss cooperation for his own project to help the 16 Oki Islands in Japan supply their own energy using green technologies.

Adeje beaches

Take the plunge

The results of an extensive project to analyse the conditions of the waters off the beaches of Adeje show that the borough’s beaches are in excellent condition for bathing. The testing, carried out in professional laboratory conditions, took samples from eight of Adeje’s beaches. In fact the waters and beaches are analysed on a regular basis through this period (from May to September). The latest timeframe used for these results was the first half of June, where eight beaches were scrutinised with the results positive in all cases, and according to Adeje’s tourism councillor Miguel Ángel Santos the beaches in question are in perfect condition for the summer months of July and August, with a guarantee of healthy waters for bathers. The beaches in question are La Caleta (Cabezo), El Varadero, La Enramada, El Puertito, Ajabo, El Pinque, Las Galgas and Las Salinas. The councillor explained that the borough’s bigger beaches, Troya I and II and the El Duque were controlled directly by the department of health, but they too have been given the all clear in recent weeks, and are in excellent condition for members of the public. The analysis carried out takes into consideration meteorological conditions at the time of the sample collection, and looks for the presence of bacteria, colour, organic material, plastics, glass, wood, and also includes a visual inspection of the zone.

Adeje

Ambassadors wanted La Laguna

apanese and American tourists travel thousands of miles to visit this north eastern borough, but only one in 20 of our regular tourists go to La Laguna, something that their tourism councillor, Miguel Díaz, is determined to change. La Laguna has changed tremendously in the last 10 years not least with the introduction of the tram to the town centre. There are more facilities along the coast for the young and old to enjoy including a purpose built camp site and skateboarding park. The seaside hotels cater for a quieter tourism, clients looking for peace and tranquillity or spa and wellness options or there are various hotels in the town centre from the four bedroom La Asomada del Gato rural hotel, the new 150 bed NH Hotel complex which will open in the autumn. The Teatro Leal has been refurbished and reopened in the town centre, other key buildings have also received attention and the ecclesiastical and lay architecture and museum offer is second to none. There is the most incredible range of shops and goods that you won’t see anywhere else mainly in family businesses with a special attention to customer care. The pedestrian only streets make window shopping a joy as does the fact that nearly all the town centre is on the level, no hills or steps. Either the town centre or the coast are excellent bases for hikers to roam the dozens of well signposted trails from surf to turf and through the largest area of laurel forest on Tenerife. Local fiestas are unique and special too, with the colourful and sacred brotherhood

Gastronomically, the borough houses one of the most popular restaurants for the locals who want to enjoy Canarian food, Restaurante La Cruz del Carmen in the Anaga Rural Park where people flock for their puchero vegetable stew especially at weekends. Fish restaurants along the coast boast the freshest of products still in the main supplied by local fishermen. In addition there are cafés and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets and a great selection of tapas always on offer, especially in the town centre as well as pubs and bars

National Parks

Melchior ups the ante over Teide T

enerife Cabildo chief Ricardo Melchior has vowed to take the Canarian government to court if it does not hand over management responsibility for the Teide National Park to the island’s governing body.

The threat marks an escalation in the war of words between the two over the running of the Park, which is Spain’s most visited, drawing over three million people in 2009. The dispute began when Spain’s Environment Ministry transferred responsibility for all the National Parks in the Canaries

were entitled under devolution legislation to have control over all protected natural areas. The tussle in the case of Teide is not just a symbolic one over whose flag should fly in the Park. It is no secret that the corporation has long considered ways of generating revenue from Teide, possibly by restricting access to the spectacular lunar landscape to official guided tours, for which a charge would be levied, as currently happens in Lanzarote. The Canarian government has invited the Cabildos on the islands with National Parks to join it on a Board which would jointly oversee the running of the Parks but the offer has been turned down by Tenerife because it would effectively mean recognising the government’s authority over them.

anta Cruz’s reputation as a ‘corruption council’ has increased further with the revelation that a well-known property developer and construction company managed to place a member of staff in the corporation’s planning office and paid her wages throughout her time there. The disclosure looks likely to lead to an official investigation by Spain’s anti-corruption prosecutor, which has already been provided with full details of the bizarre arrangement and all the contracts awarded to the firm during the last eight years, which is the time the woman worked at the office. Local media reports state that the developer has won dozens of contracts during the period and that the case only came to light when the woman took legal action against the council to make her post permanent. Opposition parties have called on the anti-corruption prosecutor to establish what laws were broken in giving her access to confidential information on tenders and other procedures in which her employer was involved. Coinciding with the scandal, local media reported also that the bulk of a lucrative 80 million euro tender for the building of a new road linking the centre of the city to upper districts was awarded just minutes before the new stretch was formally opened by the President of the Canaries and the mayor at the end of June.

Casa Cuna

Children’s home sex scandal

he arrest of a senior carer at a Tenerife children’s home is the second high-profile child sex abuse case to hit the Canaries in recent months. As reported extensively in Island Connections, the owner of a top karate school in Las Palmas is currently on remand pending his trial for allegedly abusing scores of youngsters he is said to have groomed not just for martial art stardom but also for sex sessions with staff at the

club. The Tenerife children’s home scandal presents an all too familiar pattern: a trusted and respected person who is accused of using his position and authority to persuade young boys to engage in sexual acts with him. Although the carer was suspended some time ago, details of the practices said to have gone on at the Cabildorun facility known as Casa Cuna have only emerged in recent weeks. It is believed police have contacted dozens of former residents of the home

after finding explicit photos and videos on the care worker’s personal computer. One alleged victim contacted by the police is now 27 and has decided to go public with his story of how he was abused over a period of several years. “It all began when I was about 12. He did to me what he did to many others: target me because I had no one to love me and shower me with gifts. I made the mistake of confiding in him that I wanted to be a male model when I was older and he said he would put me in touch with an agency but had to take photos first. Bit by bit the photos became more explicit and he threatened to show them to others unless I had sex with him. He has maintained his control over me for years but now this is out in the open I want my side to be heard” explained ‘Juanjo’, who was placed in care as a six-month-old baby. His testimony and that of other alleged victims will be crucial in the trial of the 60year-old carer. The accounts of goings on at the home have already triggered calls for a full review of procedures, including how the carer was allowed to take youngsters out of the home, in many cases to his own house. According to one Tenerife paper, he was released from his care duties after becoming a full-time union official yet was still allowed unlimited access to the home and to the boys. Unconfirmed reports say the man was arrested at his house in Santa Cruz in the company of two boys after a colleague reported his suspicions to his superiors.

Marazul

Titsa

Beach bus

Access prohibited

The additional summer beach services by island bus company, Titsa, have just been announced. The Los Realejos to Playa del Socorro service cannot run yet this year owing to roadworks on the beach access road. However, the company will be offering additional services on the following lines until the end of August.

row over the right of a communidad to block what is essentially a private road has resurfaced with the national coasts depar tment demanding that residents of Marazul, between Callao Salvaje and Playa San Juan, remove the barriers they have placed on the road linking the highway to the coast, which runs alongside their complex.

It’s not the first time residents of the large building along the main road have tried to restrict access to the zone. In February 2006 the department also had to issue notice and insist that they remove a bar blocking the way. It’s something of a grey area legally. The road itself is private – even Adeje council agrees, but the council says that this doesn’t mean that use can be restricted to private cars only. The residents claim that they



are blocking the road to prevent its use as a zone for late night drinking among young people or ‘botellóns’ as they are known in Spanish. But at the heart of the issue is access to the beach below the Marazul complex, Punta del Cangrejo. By Royal decree no beach or section of beach in Spain may be privatised, and obviously

therefore any stretch of coast must be accessible to the public. According to the Marazul communidad president, José Antonio Acevedo, speaking to local press, “the original access to the coast was a ‘camino real’ or royal path but had been destroyed over time, but we don’t object to people using ours (on foot). Furthermore,

there is no parking below”, he added, referring to the coastal destination in question. However beach users and fishing enthusiasts say that the complex owners have “prevented us getting to the zone nearest to the beach by car, meaning we have to walk quite a distance”.

Parque de la Reina

New park designed P

lans for the new park for the Cho-Parque del al Reina zone have been presented to residents by Arona council. At the meeting to display the new plans, held in the town’s cultural centre, were mayor and works’ councillor, José Alberto González Reverón and Ramón García Hernández, as well as the park architect, Francisco Suárez. According to the elected officials work on the park is due to begin at the end of July, and should last 12 months. The cost of the

entire project will exceed three million euros, financed by the Local Employment and Sustainability funds. The new urban park will be 10,000 m2, and the planners have taken heed of the needs of all potential users from every age group in the region. The mayor said the park, once complete, would be a continuation of his government’s promise to create green zones in every neighbourhood in an effort to improve, “the quality of life in every part of the borough, with green zones, areas for enjoyment, areas that would encourage the development

of friendships among neighbours and improve social cohesion”. Architect Francisco Suárez, said one of the focus points of the new park would be a main square which could be used for events such as fiestas and local celebrations, and would include shaded areas with pergolas as well as a central fountain. There was also a children’s playground planned with a section specifically designed for the under threes, an exercise zone, a sporting pavilion with circuit zones for training. There would also be a particular area allocated for pets.

Disaster monument

Mesa Mota opens

The site of the monument to the victims of the Pan Am/KLM accident at Los Rodeos airport in 1977 has now reopened.

The site was chosen for its panoramic views over the area including the airport runway where the accident took place, but very soon after the inauguration the area was closed off for work to take place in the woods and the adjoining picnic and barbecue area. Friends and family of those who were killed or injured in the accident were understandably angered and upset at the lack of access to the area. Opening hours for the summer months have been set at 9am to 9pm, Monday to Sunday.

Traditions

Mayoral invitation

Regular readers will have read about the fun to be had making charcoal the traditional way in Vilaflor.

It is a tradition that the local mayor, Manolo Fumero, doesn’t want to die out so he is inviting groups of people to his town to see how it is done. They particularly want young people to come along and participate so that the tradition is carried on into the next generation. Vilaflor will provide the specialists and all the materials necessary. If you can get a group together who are interested contact the council’s Agencia de empleo y desarollo (development and employment agency) to finalise arrangements.

Unfit mother

Toddler removed

Santa Cruz’s social services have ordered a two-yearold toddler to be cared for by a relative because her drunken mother was unfit to look after her.

The order was issued recently after concerned locals called police to report that the girl had been in the company of her mother for several hours during a daytime drinking binge in a number of bars. The 30-year-old woman had to be taken in a police car to a health centre for treatment due to her drunken condition after she was collected from one bar before lunchtime. Police say the incident is not the first of its kind involving the woman

Google has recently bought the travel technology company ITA software and is expected to challenge companies like lastminute.com and Expedia in the near future.

TA is the technology provider for several airline reservations systems which should help Google to improve the quality of its search results when people are getting information or booking flights and package holidays. Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive officer announced, “there is clearly more room for competition and innovation in online travel, we will improve the way flight information is organised”.

chmidt claimed that the consumers would be the overall winners in the deal, but believes that Google will also be able to drive more traffic to airlines and travel agencies.

Bing Travel compares travel and hotel rates and is able to predict price fluctuations which enable travellers to work out when is the best time to buy to get the best deal.

Data theft

Copy catch

If you photocopy documents you may be leaving important information behind for a possible data thief to use.

t would seem that every time you go to any public administration, especially in Spain, you have to hand in reams of copies of your personal documents, passport, bank account, identity documents, driving licence or whatever. A worrying report by CBS in America has underlined something that too few people are aware of. They claim that nearly all digital copy machines built since 2002 have a hard drive inside them which stores a copy of every document that has ever been photocopied on it. When the machine is resold, the information goes with it. The safest option is to scan the documents, print and delete the archive from your hard disc and avoid public copy machines for all private data unless the owners can confirm that they use a scrubbing program before scrapping or selling on their machines.

Holiday deals

Bargain on the quiet

British holiday makers are more likely to haggle for a good deal but less likely to boast about it according to a report by Travelzoo.

pparently only 41 per cent of Brits would boast about their bargain compared with 80 per cent of German travellers, whilst 75 per cent said they are likely to barter with travel companies compared with 39 per cent of the German holidaymakers. Once in the destination 70 per cent of Brits said they would continue to barter for the best deal whilst only 40 per cent of the Spaniards and Germans could be bothered.

Tough times for the Euro – but there is still time to sort it out Potentially we could end up with a stronger Eurozone

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

he financial woes of countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal have put great strain on the monetar y union. The Euro has come under heavy selling pressure as traders became increasingly nervous about whether the crisis will spread and how far. The Eurozone has a monetary union where one central bank sets monetary policy for disparate economies; economies with divergent needs, agendas, policies etc and which are not well integrated. This is, perhaps, a structural design flaw. This, together with reckless government spending, resulted in the current Eurozone turmoil. Some commentators believe that the outcome will be that the Euro dissolves. There is however another potential outcome – deeper economic and political integration. There is currently no legal mechanism to opt out or to expel a country. Such a move would also impose significant

costs to the real economy and banking sector in these countries. If a Eurozone State quits or defaults its financial future could be called into question. A default or exit would probably result in lasting damage to lenders throughout the region. Germany’s banking industry in particular would suffer. It is therefore unlikely – though not impossible – that countries would leave the Euro or force another state out. We could see an outcome with fiscal centralism and deeper political union, where the structural flaw of the Euro’s original design is addressed and the EU parliament is given power to control the actions of its Member States by withholding funding or stipulating how funds are to be used. Euro debt could be issued from Brussels rather than by each country. The €750 billion rescue package has staved off the liquidity crisis facing Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain, and while it does not fix their solvency issue it has bought time for them to address their fiscal policies (albeit in some countries they are very daunt-

ing) and for institutional reform of the Eurozone. Fundamentally the Euro is not a weak currency. In aggregate, the EU’s fiscal position is healthier than the US or UK. In the short term we can expect the currency to remain weak. The longer term is more uncertain but potentially we could end up with a stronger Eurozone. The current currency fluctuations

do not in themselves determine the Euro’s future; rather what will matter is how successful governments are in reducing their debt levels and imposing prudent fiscal policies.

We asked him what we lacked. His immediate reply was, “Beaches. People want good services on the beaches and real golden sand, not this crushed rock stuff”. He described the plans to join three Playa de las Américas beaches together to create one enormous beach, and also to replace the crushed rock surface at La Enramada, La Caleta with real sand. He also said that all remaining roads in Playa de las Américas are to be renovated, “but of course, due to cash flow, these projects cannot all be done at once”.

An innovative plan for the South is the introduction of bicycle hire with a difference. Bikes could be hired at specific points throughout the area where you would pay your hire fee and be given a plastic card, which unlocks bicycles from their parking areas. So you could hire a bike, take a trip to a different beach and park your bike in the specified parking area there, and at the end of the day pick it up again by releasing it from the parking area with your plastic card. It may be that the exact bike which you arrived on has been picked up by somebody else, but no matter, your card would be able to release another.

and we need to exploit them. “There are many projects under way. Playa de las Américas is improving at a fast pace and the ‘Veronicas’ stigma is gradually fading. We have shopping centres, high class hotels, better roads and beaches as well as golf courses and other facilities. We also have a full range of international restaurants. All these have helped to raise the benchmark”. José Fernando spoke of a current project the authorities are working on, which is a large convention which would bring 1,000 salespeople from small, independent travel agencies here. “These are the people who are in the position to pass on what they have seen”, he commented. Finally, we asked José Fernando why there are so many all inclusive package holiday visitors in Tenerife. His reply was that, “we can’t stop them as we would lose too many tourists to other competitive destinations. The attitude we have to take is that if we don’t take them, someone else will”.

he new flight, of nearly four hours’ duration, will leave Tenerife South at 11.55am and land in Paris at 3pm (local time). The return journey will leave Paris-Orly at 3.50pm (local time) and land at Tenerife South at 8.45pm.

Civil servants

Pay cuts

As the five per cent pay cuts ordered by the Spanish government begin to bite into the wage packets of its civil servants and public service employees the CEOE, employers’ organisation of Tenerife claims that they are overpaid and underemployed.

n their report according to details taken from the national statistic institute’s Contabilidad Regional de España (Spain’s regional accounts) the average wage of a public service employee or civil servant in 2007 was €29,879, 24 per cent higher than the private sector. The same report also claims that their productivity is 42 per cent less. It’s a gap which has been growing since the year 2,000 according to the CEOE.

Granadilla

No Eolica festival this year

Following seven editions of developing environmental awareness throughart and live music at Granadilla, the International festival of renewable energy, Eólica, has been hit by the complicated economic situation.

espite efforts by promoters, Elementhal Events, this usually annual event known internationally as the wind power festival, will not take place this year at the ITER installation (Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables) in Granadilla.

ven the 2009 edition was adapted to take account of the restricted budget, with only one day of festivities and a notable lack of quality artists performing, and according to the director of Elementhal, Bernard Habis, this year it has been impossible to organise a quality event. Now more than ever, the isolated situation of the Canary Islands means that it is essential to have institutional support or subsidies for events such as this as the money collected from ticket sales is not enough to even cover the cost of the artists. The budget for Eólica dropped from €900,000 in 2008 to €500,000 in 2009, the majority of which was supplied by the Canarian government and the Cabildo of Tenerife. This year, institutional financial support has been reduced again by 20 per cent, so unfortunately Eólica must take a break.

Business NEWS

Costa Adeje / jet2 holidays

More flights to the Canaries

t a recent press conference held at Magma Arte y Congresos in Costa Adeje, managing director of Jet2holidays, Steve Heapy, outlined the latest company news as it affects the Canaries, and in particular Tenerife. He was introduced by Adeje’s councillor for tourism, Miguel Ángel Santos who described this as an important day for many reasons and a real pleasure to present Jet2.com and Jet2holidays. Steve Heapy told those present that Jet2.com, the company for friendly low fares, and Jet2holidays are both part of the Dart Group PLC. The third member of the Dart Group is Flower-Welsh.Coolchain, a transport company specialising in the distribution of fresh, chilled and ambient products to supermarkets and wholesale markets throughout the UK. This third member provides year round stability. Jet2.com owns the complete fleet of aircraft, 10 Boeing 757s and 24 Boeing 737s and operates from seven UK airports: Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Blackpool and Belfast. Steve explained that because the aircraft are not leased, they can fly when demand dictates, and also there is no need to operate the dreaded ‘red-eye’ overnight flights. All flights are at ‘sociable’ times.

The number of flights from the UK to the Canaries has now increased to 24 weekly, of these 15 are to Tenerife, seven to Lanzarote and two to Gran Canaria. During the 2008/2009 season, Jet2.com brought 125,000 passengers to the Canaries, and this year they will bring 184,000, of which 110,000 are coming to Tenerife. Based in the north of England, Jet2.com has access to 55 per cent of the UK population. Steve commented that, “many of these people stay with friends or in a hotel which is not one of our partners, and we want to turn them into our clients, and into people who will become clients of services in the Canaries”.

customers more reasons to come to Tenerife”. Another good reason to come to Tenerife is that the airport tax charged per passenger when leaving the UK for Tenerife is only 11 Pounds Sterling whereas to other destinations the tax can be as much as 50 Pounds more expensive. Also, the weakness of the Euro against the Pound has meant that people are willing to try Euro destinations again. Steve continued, “we have a comprehensive offer of all types of accommodation. We want to try and satisfy demand and are aiming at four-star plus - quality but more economical. All inclusive holidays are in demand at the moment”.

Jet2holidays was established two years ago, with all-inclusive packages initially created by using the Jet2.com flight inventory, bed bank stock and third party transfers. Steve described this company as, “a serious tour operator with a long term commitment to Spain, the Canaries, and especially Tenerife”.

Jet2.com have 28 new summer routes and more new aircraft due to arrive. In the Boeing 757s they have 46 seats with extra legroom and 36 which are family friendly. Another attraction is that you can take 22 kilos of baggage for the hold and 10 kilos of hand luggage with you.

Already 20 hotels have been contracted to work with Jet2holidays in Tenerife, and Steve says that he, “wants to meet hotel partners in the Canaries and develop relationships with them in order to provide the highest level of customer service. We also want to develop relationships with theme parks and other attractions to give our

Looking ahead, for the winter of 2010 there will be new products available from Jet2holidays, hotels specially chosen for family, youth and adult occupation, as well as a luxury segment, all of which take into account the holiday lifestyles of those clients. Meanwhile, the 196-page Jet2holidays summer brochure is now available.

Dear Dr.de la Flor Dear Doctor I started working shifts a few months ago. I’ve been gaining weight and think the two events are related since the timing coincides. Does that make sense?

Always shave in the direction your beard grows

Credit:thesaint

Sincerely, Julia

Dear Julia, Sleep deprivation can sabotage your waistline and your health. It starts out innocently enough. When you have sleep deprivation and are running on low energy, you automatically go for a bag of crisps or other comfort foods. The immediate result? You may be able to fight off sleepiness. The ultimate result? Unwanted pounds as poor food choices coupled with lack of exercise set the stage for obesity and further sleep loss. Sleep debt is like credit card debt. If you keep accumulating it you will pay high interest rates or your account will be shut down until you pay it all off. If you accumulate too much sleep debt, your body will crash. Not getting enough sleep is common. You hear people brag about it, but we do pay a price for staying up late and getting up early. If you work at night or often rotate shifts, you may share that risk. Working at night or irregular shifts can keep you from getting the regular snooze time that most daytime workers take for granted. Although not everyone who works odd hours has shift work sleep disorder, a lot can be at stake. People with shift work disorder have higher rates of accidents related to sleepiness, higher risk of ulcers, insulin resistance, metabolic

syndrome, and heart disease among others. If your job requires that you work the night shift or hours other than the traditional 9 to 5, you need to pay close attention to your sleep. These tips can help you get good sleep: - Try not to work a number of night shifts in a row. You’re more likely to recover if you can limit night shifts and schedule days off in between. - Avoid frequently rotating shifts. If you can’t, it’s easier to adjust to a schedule that rotates from day shift to evening to night rather than the reverse order. - Keep your workplace brightly lit to promote alertness. If you’re working the night shift, expose yourself to bright light when you wake up. Circadian rhythms are the body’s internal clock that tells us when to be awake and when to sleep. These rhythms are controlled by a part of the brain that is influenced by light. Being exposed to bright light when you start your “day” can help train your body’s internal clock to adjust. - Avoid caffeine later in the shift. - Stick to a regular sleep-wake schedule as much as you can and

limit phone calls and visitors during your sleep hours. - Use blackout blinds or heavy curtains to block sunlight when you sleep during the day. Sunlight is a potent stimulator of the circadian rhythm. Even if your eyes are closed, the sunlight coming into the room tells your brain that it’s daytime.

Dear Doctor Lately I’ve having problems when I shave since in a couple of areas I have hair growing towards the inside. Any advice? Cheers, Jeff

Dear Jeff, Razor bumps (also called pseudofolliculitis barbae) are small, irritated bumps on the skin that develop after shaving when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin. Razor bumps cause irritation and the development of pimples. They also may cause scarring if they get infected and they are left untreated.

Liberalisation

To treat razor bumps, use a sterile needle to release the embedded hair shaft. If possible, stop shaving for a few days. This usually stops razor bumps from developing, depending on the severity. However, when shaving is restarted razor bumps typically return. Razor bumps will generally go away if shaving is stopped. Hair removal products (depilatories) can be used instead of shaving. However, these products can irritate the skin and should be used only once or twice a week. In some cases, laser treatment may be an option. Laser treatment destroys the hair follicle and reduces the number of bumps that form. The following shaving tips can help you prevent razor bumps from forming: Use hot water before shaving to soften the hair and open the pores. Use a thick shaving gel. Don’t stretch the skin when shaving and always shave in the direction your beard grows. Use the fewest razor strokes possible. Rinse with cold water. On periods when your skin seems too irritated you could use an electric razor adjusted to a higher setting. Make sure you use a moisturising lotion after shaving. Good luck! Dr. De La Flor, G.P. is licensed in medicine & general surgery. He holds certificates in nutrition, medical exercise and human performance from the University of Berkeley in California, the American Council on Exercise and the U.S. National Strength & Conditioning Association. He is a strong believer in work/life balance and spends much of his time outside of his surgery on the tennis court, jogging or chasing his four kids around the neighbourhood. You can reach the doctor at 00-34-697.888.666 to schedule a consultation in his surgery or a medical visit in your home.

Abortion law in effect

The new abortion statute which has, in effect, liberalised the abortion law in Spain, came into effect on July 5th, despite condemnation from conservative political and social bodies. Though an appeal to the Constitutional Court by the opposition Partido Popular, is pending, the movers of the law, which allows abortion without restrictions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy, say they are not worried about the challenge. Minister for Equality Bibiana Aido told national radio that “the government is fully convinced of the constitutionality of the law”. Until now a woman could only seek a legal abortion if she had a medical ruling that continuing with the pregnancy would jeopardize her mental or physical health, or in the case of rape or fetal malformations. Under the new legislation there will be no need for a woman to qualify her wish to abort if she is less than 14 weeks pregnant, it will be seen as her right, and in certain instances, for instance in the case of rape or severe foetal malformation, the state will cover up to 75 per cent of the termination. The other section of the new law to raise hackles is the issue of parental consent. As from July 5th girls who are 16 and over many now proceed with an abortion without the consent of their parents, though they must be informed.

It’s not your imagination. The reason for this is genetics. You see, there are three different body types - ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph.

The main differences between the three different body types

Ectomorph - the naturally skinny body type. In sports you see them running marathons as they have more red muscle fibres, responsible for resistance. The ectomorph is the person who has probably been very skinny their entire life. They are born with a quick metabolism. So they can eat whatever they want and how much they want. They will always stay skinny. But there are disadvantages to being an ectomorph. Ask a skinny guy in the gym how much he has to do to gain a gram of muscle. Everything needs to be perfect, training, rest and nutrition. An ectomorph usually needs 55 per cent of carbohydrates, 20 per cent of

Tenerife Moda for kids Tenerife Moda,took part inthe international children’swear fair

enerife Moda, the fashion collective supported by the Cabildo, once again took part in the international children’s wear fair (FIMI) in Valencia in late June, where the companies Oh Soleil, Baronetti and Bibabu presented their 2011 summer collections.

Baronetti and Oh Soleil also appeared at the Pitti Bombi fair in Florence, one of the most significant international young fashion fairs. Cabildo councillor for economic development, commerce and employment Efrain Medina emphasised that, “children’s fashion is well represented within Tenerife Moda and our participation in such events offers enormous possibilities”. He continued, “one of our priorities is to strengthen the presence of these com-

panies at main world events where they can show their new collections and seek new ways of selling them”. Oh Soleil presented intense colours, marked cuts, fun accessories, a line of nighties and pyjamas and a small collection of ready to wear items. Baronetti clothing is characterised by the use of flexible elastic fibres with anti-bacterial properties for those who want clothing without restrictions using seamless technology. This clothing is easy to care for, durable, and dries quickly, favouring heat dispersion and air circulation. Bibabu clothing adds even more colour to beach and pool days. Their comfortable kaftans, dresses, tops, t-shirts and caps in colourful prints are made of cotton, poplin, voile or piqué and aimed at those aged six months to 10 years.

Diving

in the Canaries

I’d like to be, under the sea…

ecause of the volcanic nature of the Canary Islands there are some fantastic rock formations and the sea bottom mainly slopes reasonably gently away from the shore, or gets deeper in steps off the layers of lava, giving superb scuba diving facilities suitable for novices right through to those who are vastly experienced.

The waters off the Canary Island teem with marine life, and are the home for many cetaceans, with whale and dolphin watching tours a holiday feature off most of the islands. The water is normally clear, giving excellent visibility with an average of approximately 20 metres. All seven of the Canary Islands offer scuba diving as a recreation, but the jewel in the crown for experienced divers is El Hierro, where the waters surrounding it were officially declared a marine sanctuary in 1996. It offers superb diving with sightings of Manta ray on a regular basis. Grouper fish here are almost as big as an adult human and are extremely friendly. Practically all of the centres have their own boat, usually a RIB (semi-rigid inflatable) to access the dive sites, although some of the sites are accessible from the shore. Some of the boats have ladders to make exiting the water as easy as diving from a hard boat, so avoiding the embarrassment of not being able to ‘bounce’ yourself over the side at the end of a dive. The dive sites are all within easy reach of the marinas meaning that the norm is for the boat to return to base between dives, when refreshments may be taken, making it a very relaxing and friendly experience. The diversity of the languages spoken by the instructors and

staff at the dive centres means you should find a centre that caters for your individual needs, and all have web sites so you can check them out for your particular needs. Another welcome feature of diving in the Canary Islands is that it is very rare for more than one or two dive groups to be at the same site simultaneously, so underwater overcrowding is not really an issue here. And given the year-round excellent climate there is no peak season that needs to be avoided either. Once under the water the huge variety of fish and other residents of the deep blue are a delight, be you a regular diver or not. Rainbow and ornate wrasse, Atlantic & blue Damsel fish, parrot fish, different types of Bream, Scorpion and Rock fish, together with Trumpet fish, Lizard fish and Bastard Grunt are in abundance on most of the sites. There are also examples of some rarer species to be found, including Atlantic, Eagle, Butterfly and Common stingrays, not forgetting the Torpedo (or marbled electric) ray. Nudibranch and Cuttlefish are also present. Grouper fish can be found in different sizes at depths as shallow as five metres and during the winter months, Angel sharks are regular visitors. There are many moray eels - black, brown and fang tooth morays are the most regularly seen. You may even catch a glimpse of streaked gurnard from time to time. The majority of the dive centres offer instruction and courses, from beginners up to those with experience who wish to gain competency in the many varied skills of scuba diving, with several centres also providing courses for those wishing to become instructors. As the centres are accessible from holiday accommodation, post-diving activities are reasonably unlimited in their range, although visiting

Mount Teide, the volcano on Tenerife, requires at least a day’s rest before travelling because of the height above sea level. However, there is an abundance of restaurants, shows and nice bars available, together with walkways and paths close to the seashore to view the fantastic sunset each evening (when else!). Below you will find information on just a few of the many dive sites to be enjoyed off these islands. If you are holidaying on any of the islands not mentioned here ask at the local tourist information office or your tour operator for more information or check out the web. One site we recommend is www.divesitedirectory.co.uk.

Dive Sites  Roncadores Del Faro (Tenerife) This dive site has some spectacular basalt formations and is as popular for these sights as for the underwater life. It is possible to anchor in five metres of water which makes it ideal for the novice diver. The sea bottom drops off in steps here to 18 metres before slop-

ing off gently with a sandy bottom. There is normally an impressively large ball of Bastard Grunt just outside a large swim-through. For the more qualified diver it is possible to follow the bottom along gulleys down to a depth of 40 metres, but a very nice dive is to follow the steep wall in and out of the coves at 18 to 20 metres.

 Yellow Mountain

(Tenerife)

This dive normally starts on a reef at approximately five metres and then drops off to a sandy bottom between 14 and 16 metres before gliding be-

tween two reefs that almost join at the top, another spectacular view. The left hand reef is followed, leading round to a depth of between 20 and 25 metres then heading off around some small rock formations before returning to the reef and, depending on air consumption, there are several ways back to the boat anchorage. Another dive suiting all levels of experience.

 El Bajón (The Top

Hat) (El Hierro)

All dive sites around El Hierro have buoys for mooring the boats, another feature
