Masca accidents prompt Fatal crash on TF-1 fire service alert caused by

They say people must take extra special care and not under-estimate the difficulty or steepness of this popular ravine, particularly during very hot weather or when it has been raining. Their warning comes as Tenerife’s fire chief reveals that so far this year, troops have been involved in 20 rescues. President of the Consortium, Javier Rodriguez says it is essential to follow certain guidelines of conduct to avoid accidents. He says the fire service has had to deal with a substantial number of incidents in the mountain areas of Tenerife in recent years and particularly so in Masca. The village is very beautiful but the ravine down to the sea is notoriously steep and difficult and many people are unprepared for the challenge it presents. Tourists often become disorientated, slip or are un-

able to continue on their own because of exhaustion of heat-

stroke. This has included children. “It is essential to follow the guidelines of conduct recommended by experts to avoid accidents and, as a consequence, the deployment of

means and resources to solve it,” he says. The fire service reminds people they should always take a fully-charged phone out with them, as well making use of geolocation services in the WhatsApp application. This can prove invaluable in the event of a rescue. If you are involved in an accident, try to remain calm and relay as much information as possible to 112. Experts point out that one of the main reasons for this kind of rescue is the lack of prior planning. For this reason, the insular institution recommends not to go out alone, always check weather conditions, use the right equipment, plan the route and calculate schedules, carry enough water or food and do not overestimate the real possibilities of doing the route.

OLICE have confirmed that an horrific accident on the TF-1 which caused massive tailbacks was caused by a tyre blowout.

POLICE RAIDS AND GOVERNMENT ACTION

“No hiding place” for food poisoning scammers

OLICE have warned there is no hiding place for anyone involved in the false food poisoning scam which have been costing Spain, including the Canaries, millions of euros over recent years. Action against those behind the fraudulent claims and holidaymakers who have felt the benefit are being stepped up, including with police raids in Mallorca. Seven people were arrested in the Balearics on suspicion of running the scam, all of them British. It is believed the police action is now being extended to all parts of Spain, including the Canary Islands where hoteliers

have also been suffering. Members of the Civil Guard and court officials gained access to a number of private homes and businesses premises in Mallorca as part of a co-ordinated operation. The so-called “claim farmers” have been exploiting a loophole in the UK law which has allowed tourists to put in food poisoning claims against their hotels without having to prove it.

Club Mac of Alcúdia recently revealed it had submitted an official complaint to the police after being duped out of four million euros in the 2016 season. The 273 claims involved 797 people, with many of them belonging to the same family. The National Police’s Economic Crimes Group is said to have found evidence of crime in these claims, many of them being conducted through specialised consumer law firms in the United Kingdom. The British Government is also taking action, making it easier for tour companies to

challenge food poisoning claims without the fear of racking up huge court bills. And just last week, one socalled claim farmer in the UK was officially stripped of its licence. The British Embassy said evidence showed the firm had used deceptive sales scripts, exaggerating expected payouts to entice consumers. In Mallorca, an army of “ticketers” were paid 50 pounds for ever y Brit persuaded to make false food poisoning claims. They were told they could win up to 3,000 pounds as well as recouping the cost of their holiday.

They say the driver of a heavy lorry struggled to control the vehicle but it smashed across the central barriers and collided with a van. Both of the occupants died, one at the scene and the other later in hospital. They were work colleagues aged 40 and 45 and both came from the Taco area. One was driving, the other was the passenger. The accident caused great shock because of the carnage on the carriageway. Other motorists were stuck in the jam for hours until the emergency services dealt with the situation and the wreckage was lifted away with cranes. The crash happened at km 24 just before the Guimar tunnel and involved several other cars as well.

A magical night under the full moon

ORE than 400 people gathered for a magical night in a unique place in the south of Tenerife.

Granadilla council once again organised the XIII edition of the Ruta Nocturna which started from the central square of El Medano at 9pm and ended 40 minutes under the light of the full moon at the cave of Tenerife’s first patron saint Hermano Pedro. “El Barque” was this year’s theme, a fitting tribute to those

residents of the south of Tenerife who practised it for centuries. This ancestral form of commerce, without money, was part of the landscape and history of the south. It was an exchange of experiences and wisdom, in which farmers, goats, bakers, fishermen or dairymen crossed ravines, hills and slopes to exchange

goats, pigs, potatoes, fish, wine, figs, fruits or bread. At the beginning of the show a tribute was paid to Don Isidro Casanova, a resident, pastor and poet, participant in previous editions who recently died. “ Vocal 7” provided the music and there was humour from the costume based theatre group “Thynisara’” which represented a scene based on barter. There was also a projection

RUTA NOCTURNA of photographs on the history of the route and old images of residents of the municipality, in recognition of those people who are part of our roots and memory. At 11.30pm, it was time to return along the same route to El Medano. The cave, known as the ere, was the place where Hermano Pedro used to tend his sheep when he was just a shepherd more than 350 years ago before he started his pastoral travels.

Icod de los Vinos laments state of famous dragon tree park

COD de los Vinos council is working on an urgent action plan after lamenting the state of some aspects of the famous Parque del Drago.

The government group says it is very disappointed at its “abandonment” and is blaming the previous administration for lack of maintenance and updates. Architectural barriers, broken bathrooms and signage of plants on the botanical route are the main problems. Councillors say it is an emblematic botanical area that needs to improve its image if it is to turn into one of the main ethnographic attractions of the municipality and Tenerife. They say the park is currently in a state of “oblivion and ostracism” with problems for access for parents with prams, older people and those with limited mobility. In addition, the toilets are in a poor state with damage to the ceilings and fittings. These will be the main items to tackle with urgenty but the council also intends to look at the identification of the native plants which have become lost or muddled up. Meetings are currently taking place with the various administrations and it is hoped to start work as soon as possible. “For the government group, it is a situation of total and absolute abandonment that does not project a good image of the municipality, so it is necessary to rethink a facelift that allows the Parque del Drago to once again become a focus of tourist attraction and a pride for the Icodians,” says the council. At the centre of the park is the old dragon tree which this year celebrates the centenary of its appointment as a national monument. The council says the historic tree deserves much better surroundings. The park, which has been open for more than 20 years, is entrusted to the company of Icod town hall, and the management of the Drago tree is also the council’s responsibility. “Although the lack of investment has been a problem in recent years, the local government is already working with the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo to solve a situation that has become a priority for the new leaders of the Icod council,” the council added.

Two men die in car plunge in Cash surplus means unexpected Granadilla

SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENTS

WO men, aged 65 and 74, died in a car accident after the vehicle in which they were travelling plunged six metres off the road into a vegetable garden.

36.1 million euros of new projects

The accident happened in Charco del Pino at a time unknown. They were found just after 3am in the morning when one of their relatives contacted police because she was worried about them. It is understood both were friends and a third friend who was due to meet them in the area came across the car crash near the Cruz de Tea at the height of Pino.

ENERIFE Cabildo has approved the use of a cash surplus of 36.1 million euros to make sustainable investments in the field of roads, rural infrastructure, waste management and improvement of tourist areas. The island’s director of the Treasury, Juan Carlos Pérez Frías, explained during his speech to the Plenary of the Island Corporation that this decision is “an opportunity given to the Corporations after the approval of the General State Budget to make use of the remainder of treasury in projects and sustainable works that must be concluded before December of 2018.” In addition, and as Perez Frías has detailed, these investments do not count as a spending rule. In total, 24.3 million euros will be allocated for the construction of insular highways in various municipalities and 3.7 million for the construction of a new spill cell, expansion of the selection and classification plant for containers and installation of automatic aspiration of plastic in the Environmental Complex

of Tenerife. As for the tourist actions, 7.5 million euros will be invested in five actions. These are the first two phases of the conditioning of the beach promenade of Los CristianosLos Tarajales (Arona); the first phase of the Avenue of the Emigrant and Juan Carlos I (Guía de Isora); Flor de Pascua street, in Santiago del Teide; improvement of the calle Bischofshofen and avenida alcalde Walter Paetzmann (Adeje) and San Juan Iriarte and Plaza Concejil, in the municipality of Puerto de la Cruz. Finally, a further 3.7 million will be allocated to rural infrastructure projects, specifically in the improvement and paving of the rural roads El Tablero to Casa Grande-Las Rosa and Los Llanos, both in San Juan de la Rambla.

FREAK ACCIDENT

Two hurt as irrigation pool ruptures

WO people were injured, one of them seriously, when they were washed away by water from an irrigation pool which burst open.

The accident happened in the municipality of La Guancha in the early evening. The 112 emergency centre received an alert, reporting that the two people had been swept away by the torrent of water. The irrigation pool was apparently being filled with water when one of the sides fractured. Medical staff from a local health centre attended to the two injured people until the arrival of an SUC ambulance

The emergency services, including the fire brigade, police, Civil Guard and medics, rushed to the scene and found the car on its side in the garden. There was nothing they could do for either occupant and they were declared dead at the scene. Both men were Spanish and lived in the area where they were well known.

La Orotava beach project finally approved but with security additions

“UNAVOIDABLE DELAY”

HE project to rehabilitate access to Playa de Los Patos in La Orotava has finally been unblocked.

Spain’s coastal department has given approval to the local council’s project but the action must be extended to the beach, which increases the investment to about 500,000 euros The Mayor of La Orotava, Francisco Linares headed a recent meeting with the head of the Coastal Demarcation of the State in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Teresa Sánchez Clavero. The meeting, which took place in the Delegation of Costas, was “very positive”, said Sr. Linares, who together with the rest of the municipal corporation have tried for years to solve all obstacles. After analysing the whole situation, the difficulties of the project and the complexity of the area to carry out the works - mostly vertical - the project presented by the local institution was accepted, The department has only asked for some clarifications but the final go-ahead is expecred this month. A study is also required of the beach. As has been indicated on other occasions, the action contemplates the reconstruction of the old path of about 65 metres long that runs along the slope itself. At the point of intersection between the stairs and the path, a small viewpoint will be constructed. It includes the placement of protection meshes on the slope to avoid damages by landslides and to give greater security to the access. Planning councillor, Narciso Perez recalled that it had been intended in 2014 to replace the staircase, which was in poor condition, and protect the hillside in the affected area, but there was a collapse that stopped the work. Subsequently the performance was expanded and a new comprehensive project was drafted covering the entire staircase and access to the beach itself. With the changes requested, the cost goes from 300,000 euros to 509,000 euros, met mainly by Tenerife Cabildo. “Obviously, from the council of La Orotava, we have taken all the steps and changes in the project that have been required by the different public administrations, but this has meant a delay beyond our control,” said the councillor. However, the council is confident about the project and the end result it will bring. Once the favourable reports have been received, it is planned to tender the work. It is hoped that this bidding process can be started as soon as possible, but it is preferred not to give exact dates. “It is a work that has been affected by multiple circumstances and has not been able to develop as planned by the local institution itself,” Narciso Perez lamented.

Arona aims for energy reduction Santa Cruz on with light replacement scheme an upward spiral of RECORD HIGH

growth as more jobs created

RONA is reducing its energy expenditure by 15% in fifteen areas of Valle San Lorenzo, Buzanada, Las Américas and Los Cristianos.

The council has executed a plan that has seen the replacement of 1,400 points of light and electronic equipment. The plan has meant the change of 1,459 light bulbs that, in Valle San Lorenzo, has benefited the areas of Era del Valo, Church Square, El Almendro, Las Casas de Abajo and the surrounding areas of them all. In Buzanada, the replacement of light points has affected the parking areas located next to the football field and the Luciano Bello avenue. In each of the nuclei, 526 units have been replaced. On the streets of Las Américas and Los Cristianos, the works have been carried out on the Paseo Teneguía and the surroundings, Avenida Gómez Cuesta (opposite the stadium), the Paseo Marítimo from the ravine of Troya to the street Luis Díaz Losada and from the pier of Los Christians up to Costamar, Paseo San Salvador and the surrounding area, Arenas Blancas street and surroundings and Paseo Veracruz, with a total of 644 substituted points of light. The cultural centre in Los Cristianos has also seen the replacement of 224 lights. The plan also contemplates the substitution and improvement of the public lighting of avenue Juan Carlos I. With all these changes, the power installed in all these zones has gone from 152.022 kilowatts to 118.289, which has meant a 22% savings, a percentage that is reinforced by the installation of a system that reduces the power at night. The Mayor of Arona, José Julián Mena, explained that “with these jobs we are fulfilling, on the one hand, the need to renew street lighting in many parts of the municipality, a constant demand for our residents. In addition, we are insisting that sustainability is one of the pillars of the action of this group of government and for this we have to set an example, working on a clear reduction in energy consumption.” The total budget of this project amounts to 383.897,12 euros.

ANTA Cruz is on an upward spiral of growth, says its Mayor, as the number of new work contracts issued hits a record high.

Warning after speeding drivers caught in Santa Cruz

HE Local Police of Santa Cruz have collaborated once again with the national campaign promoted by the General Directorate of Traffic aimed at controlling the speed of the vehicles in the different roads of the country.

Specifically, the radar service of the Atestados group verified, on August 21st and 25th, the speed at which a total of 5,535 vehicles circulated, detecting a total of 194 violators, 3.5 per cent of the total of the tests made. The first deputy mayor and councillor for citizen security and mobility, Zaida González said the objective of these campaigns, “as well as the programmed controls that are usually done, is to promote greater road safety and an awareness among drivers about the risk of speeding.” He stressed that the campaign was not about tax collection “although obviously the sanctions for this type of dangerous behaviour at the wheel are processed and reported in time and form.” One trend which came to light is that 61 per cent of the drivers sanctioned for

breaching the regulations skipped the limits during the night time. One driver was caught speeding the tunnel of Tres de Mayo Avenue at 112 kilometres per hour; another was detected at 101 km / h on the San Andrés dual carriageway; and another was clocked at 98 kilometres per hour on the Hespérides avenue.

The number signed between January and August of this year amounted to 72,577, the highest figure since 2005 when records began. The city’s Development Society says that in the month of August, there was an increase in contracts of 5.8% compared to the same month of 2016, while the number of unemployed experienced a decline over the past year of 853, which is a decrease of 3.5%, leaving the number of unemployed in the municipality at 23,240. The percentage increase in recruitment in August with respect to the previous year, which resulted in 9,273 contracts, is higher than that registered for the Canar y Islands and for the island of Tenerife (with 3.4% and 4.3% respectively ). The Mayor of Santa Cruz, José Manuel Bermúdez, said the data, added to others known in the last weeks, such as the creation of companies, the increase in tourist over-

night stays and sales trade “puts us in a suitable scenario to continue to drive growth in the city. “ “Santa Cruz is in a positive spiral and continues to generate confidence in the business sector,” he said, adding: “A third of the jobs that are created in Tenerife are generated in this municipality.” With regard to unemployment data, the labour development report of the Development Society highlights the good trend that the capital has been registering for several months, staying below the 24,000 unemployed people. Likewise, the document notes that “in August the number of unemployed people stood at 23,240, which represents a decrease of 3.5% compared to the same month of the previous year (853 people less), but a slight increase over the past month July of 0.7% (155 more people).” Councillor for economic development Alfonso Cabello, said the good news had much to do with the evolution of tourism in Santa Cruz, which had received in the first half of 2017 a total of 1,084,221 tourists. However, the city had also experienced a revival in recent years in terms of commercialization and dynamism. “Santa Cruz, despite registering a good evolution, must focus on improving the quality of employment that is being created, as well as on the stability of it, which will have a positive impact on consumption and the family savings, “ he stressed.

Twelve Tenerife municipalities to Council to benefit from water improvements enhance park area HISTORIC INTEREST

ENERIFE Cabildo is collaborating with 12 town councils over the improvement of supply and sanitation services.

The agreement, at a cost of 1.2 million, will allow the Insular Council of Water (CIATF) to offer technical assistance to achieve the efficiency of the hydraulic system and prevent losses of water. Cabildo president, Carlos Alonso presided over the signing ceremony, accompanied by councillor of municipal cooperation, Aurelio Abreu; water councillor, Manuel Martínez; and the manager of CIATF, Javier Davara. Sr. Alonso underlined the

collaboration between administrations to achieve this objective and pointed out that to the extent that it gains in hydraulic efficiency, the agreement represents good news for the economy of the island because of reducing the level of losses in the municipal networks. Sr. Martínez described this “priority ” agreement to improve the performance of the networks and also thanked the collaboration of the municipalities present “of different political colours.” He also pointed out that these

deficiencies are not attributable to the lack of political will but to the lack of technical capacity of the local councils. The Mayor of El Rosario, Escolástico Gil, who spoke on behalf of the local corporations, said: “The twelve municipalities want to find a solution to this problem. That is why we consider this agreement very important. We have been working together with the Cabildo in this matter. This loss of water is very hard because it is money that could be used for projects. “ This agreement has a validity of two years renewable and an economic cost of 1,236,000 euros, of which the

CIATF allocates 240,000 euros to the technical assistance to the town councils and the rest, for systems of measurement and control of the waters. “This collaboration is justified by the imbalance between production and water billing that is recorded in these twelve municipalities, revealing losses of flow in the municipal network with the consequent economic and resource damage,” says the Cabildo. The municipalities which will feel the benefit are Buenavista, El Tanque, La Guancha, Los Silos, Garachico, San Juan de la Rambla, Santa Úrsula , La Victoria, La Matanza, El Rosario, Fasnia and Vilaflor. Based on this agreement, the CIATF undertakes to provide technical support to each council for improvement in the municipal services of supply and sanitation. The technicians of the Cabildo will collect data on the infrastructures related to the municipal public services of urban supply and sanitation and on the management of the service. Next, and in this order, it will elaborate a diagnosis of the state of the infrastructures of each municipality, an economic study of services and draft two plans: a management plan and an infrastructure plan draft that specifies the needs.

for Las Vegas

RANADILLA de Abona council is to acquire a plot of land of 18,205 square metres in Las Vegas, in the middle of the municipality, in order to expand the ‘Pino de Las Jabas’ recreation area. It will also provide information offices, parking areas and services. The Mayor, José Domingo Regalado, said the idea was to make it a municipal park with better facilities and a parking area for buses. Councillor for patrimony, Fredi Oramas Chávez said the project would cost around 23,000 euros. “It aims to bring value to this

area of Las Vegas, a unique spot and used daily by walkers and visitors in general,” he said. Las Vegas is a historic hamlet where the first colonisers of southern Tenerife settled, after the conquests of the island, and it has a great relevance from the ethnographic, environmental and heritage point of view.

RAISING AWARENESS

Santa Cruz uses “poo mounds” to hit home warning over dog mess

ANTA Cruz is reinforcing its campaign to eradicate canine excrement on the city streets.

The second phase of this initiative includes the installation of “poo mounds” with messages warning about sanctions up to 1,500 euros for breaching the ordinance. The objective is to eliminate the presence of dog mess in the streets, squares and parks of the capital. The first stage was deve-

loped during the first part of the summer and focused mainly on the social networks. Councillor for the environment, Carlos Correa, said this second phase of the campaign “complements the one that has already been developed with the placement of more than 200 notices and 2,500 posters. “

“This phase will be much more striking and with a greater presence of civilian agents in those areas of the city where it has been verified that more infractions of the ordinance are committed,” he said. The mock dog mess statues will be placed in different locations until the end of September, including the meeting points of calles Valentín Sanz and Pilar, in the access to the park of La Granja through avenida de Bélgica, in avenida Príncipes de España (near the roundabout of Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria) and avenida de Los Majuelos. Sr. Correa said these locations had been chosen to draw people’s attention to the problem. Regardless of the size of the dog mess, all owners had the duty to remove it with a bag which should be then totally sealed up and properly

PUPPY TRAPPED

Dog rescued from barranco

HIS little dog has very special reason to thank the expertise and bravery of Tenerife firefighters.

The puppy got trapped in the brambles at the bottom of a ravine in Tacoronte and was unable to free itself. Firemen from La Laguna managed to get down the barranco using a roped pulley system , reached the dog and untangled it from the branches. The animal appeared to be unharmed and none the worse for its ordeal but it was still taken to a local vets for a check-up. It was hoped the dog had a microchip so it could be reunited with its owners.

deposited. He said it was very uncivil not to pick up the animal’s excrement and caused distress to all sections of the population, even more so for children and people in wheelchairs. “It is unacceptable behaviour and we are going to fight it with economic sanctions,” he warned. The levels are not to be increased; what the council wants to do is to raise public awareness. The environment department offers all the information related to the ordinances related to the possession of animals in www.mascotassantacruzdetenerife.es The website has different sections related to the possession of dangerous animals, the abandonment of animals, the cleaning of public roads, the identification of pets and the carrying out of sanitary and veterinary controls.

Free play area for Arona’s new Farmer’s Market

SON USED

Couple arrested for Tenerife cocaine smuggling

couple arrested for trying to smuggle cocaine into Tenerife used a young child as a decoy, say police.

The man and woman, aged 38 and 31 and both of Venezuelan nationality, were caught acting as human mules. National Police officers based at Puerto de la CruzLos Realejos stopped them and found them in possession of two kilos of cocaine. They had travelled to the Canaries from Venezuela and in order to deflect suspicion, the man used his son to pretend to be a normal family group coming into Tenerife for a holiday. The couple carried about two kilos of cocaine in a bag - specifically 120 capsules - and are believed to be part of an international organisation. Police say their detention reveals a new route of cocaine smuggling by air into Tenerife. Both the man and the woman were remanded in custody whilst the child, because of his young age, was taken into care for the time being. The investigation was carried out by national police officers belonging to the Judicial Police Brigade of the Puerto de la Cruz-Los Realejos police station.

Friends of Tenerife – A Fairy Tale

NCE upon a time in Madrid there was consternation in the Royal Court and King Carlos lll was not amused. Earlier in his reign, in 1774, he had decided to move the Royal Botanical Garden to its current location next to the Prado Museum. The move had taken too long and the new garden was not opened until 1781. This was only the start of his troubles. There was growing interest in the botany from the Spanish colonies but, because of the harsh Madrid winter; the majority of the plants would not take. Yet another seven years passed before someone whispered in the King’s ear, “Why not develop a Garden of Acclimatisation on one of our islands in the Atlantic, off Africa?”. “Good idea,” said the King, “I know just the man to oversee this undertaking.” And so in August 1788 he issued a royal decree and had it delivered to Don Alonso de Nava y Grimon, the sixth Marquis de Villanueva, at his stately home in La Laguna, which was then the capital of Tenerife. Being a well respected gentleman and leader of a group of similarly rich landowners who were labelled the Friends of Tenerife, he had no option but to obey his ruler. Don Alonso was also left in no doubt that he and his associates were to finance and carry out this operation with no help from the exchequer. King Carlos was pleased with this solution to his problem. Perhaps he wished that he could solve all his problems so easily. Four months later he did; in December 1788 he died. Don Alonso must have felt relieved. The Friends of Tenerife had been let off the hook; but not so. The successor to Carlos lll was his second son, Carlos 1V who was perceived at court as being amiable but simple minded. His first declaration was that he would maintain the decrees and policies of his father. Don Alonso was resigned to fulfilling his mission and called on his close friend and wine merchant, Archibald Little, to find suitable land in the Porto

Orotava area; this being the principal port for shipping the produce of the island. It was not until 1808 that the town was re-named Puerto de la Cruz, created, as usual, by royal decree. In 1774, Archibald Little, at the age of 14, had joined his uncle, John Pasley in the family firm of wine exporters on Tenerife. He was three years younger than the Marquis of Villanueva. By 1788, at the time of the royal decree they were both in the prime of their lives and in control of their families’ assets in Tenerife. Archibald had cornered the wine market with the help of the Marquis. They were both wealthy men. Archibald suggested two sites which were halfway between La Orotava and the port. The first site was part of a zone known as El Robado which was very steep and covered in rough stone. It contained a ruined building but was deemed unacceptable due to the precipitous terrain. The second site was adjoining the La Paz area and was more suitable but, according to Alexander von Humboldt, it was partially covered by a huge volcanic cone, known as the hill of Durazno. The land was deemed useless and was donated to the cause by the Irish owner who resided in the mainland. The levelling of the hill of Durazno took almost two years of hard graft and, in 1790, following plans drawn up by Nicolas Eduardo, an architect of La Laguna, work commenced on preparing the ground to accept the plants. By 1792 the Garden of Acclimatisation was finished and open to botanists from all over Europe. After all this

trouble, the sad outcome was that the scheme didn’t work. Whereas the plants flourished in Puerto de la Cruz, they failed to transfer to Madrid. The harsh winter had won.

Archibald Little

Meanwhile, the astute Archibald Little had purchased the first site and proceeded to restore the Canarian style house. He also planted a beautiful garden which, over the years, has been visited by many famous people. The initial visitors were members of the first diplomatic mission to China who stayed at the house in October 1792 before they set off to climb Mount Teide. The local people called it Sitio Litre; Litre being their pronunciation of Little. Sitio refers to a place where the owners can rest and play, but it is not their main home. The finca is still called Sitio Litre today but it is also known as

both open to the public. Looking back on those days of yore, the King was the law in the land and his subjects acceded to his wishes without question, except when he tried to ban bullfighting. The Friends of Tenerife had received the Royal Decree and they were not found wanting, And today, if Don Felipe Vl decreed that the present Friends of Tenerife should build, at their own expense, the proposed Marina in Puerto de la Cruz they also will not be found wanting. They will not be found at all! Ken Fisher, President of Friends of Tenerife

Police intercept dawn drugs landing Tube visits will soon have visitor centre T with volcanic sensations SEVEN ARRESTS

HE Civil Guard has prevented the landing of 1.5 tonnes of hashish in Gran Canaria.

Officers from Las Palmas were involved in a dawn operation after a tip-off was received about a planned drug smuggling attempt. Police went to the coastal area of El Burrero in the municipality of Ingenuity at 4.30am and intercepted seven people as they loaded 51 bales of hash off a pneumatic boat into four vehicles. Five of the suspects are Spanish, one a Moroccan and the sixth had no documents. All the drugs, weighing 1,530 kilograms, were recovered.

new information centre for a fascinating tourist attraction on Lanzarote is expected to open its doors in 2018.

The Cabildo has allocated more than half a million euros to equip the Centre of Interpretation of the Cave of Las Palomas. It is hoped this will become one of the most visited tourist attractions on the island, as well as a place for environmental education. The centre will have audio visual equipment and sound effects and is being described as “a pioneering centre for the enhancement of this type of natural space on our island.” Environment councillor Juan Manuel González said the project had a five-month deadline so the Centre could definitively open its doors to the public at the beginning of 2018. The centre will be of interest to all those wishing to find out more about the volcanic activity on the island and the different cavities of the Natural Monument of the Coladas del Volcán de San Juan. It will incorporate access to the Cueva del Vidrio (Cave of Glass) and visitors will even be able to feel the sensation of what it would be like to be in the midst of volcanic rumblings! The Cabildo has invested more than 1.8 million euros in creating the centre and

incorporating it into its environment. The property has three levels: on the main floor there is a space for a cafeteria with a large glazed lookout and a large exhibition hall; on the ground floor there is a projection room that can accommodate up to 70 people; and the upper floor is an uncovered gazebo terrace with breathtaking views of the surroundings of the Las Manchas area in particular and of the entire Aridane Valley in general. In the same environment of the Centre for the Interpretation of Volcanic Cavities, the environmental councillor recalled that the volcanic tube of Cueva de Las Palomas can be visited on a provisional basis with scheduled visits through three companies authorised by the Cabildo. This possibility will be maintained until the Centre is finally opened. With protection of the environment in mind, elevated accesses and platforms were built on pillars and metal beams on which there is a wooden platform and stairs with the same structure and steps and an access walkway to the main access tunnel to the tube.

Object destroyed on Lanzarote beach

HEART DISEASE

High cholesterol a problem in the Canaries

HE Canaries is one of the places in Spain where people register the highest cholesterol levels.

EACH users were told to stay away after a cylindrical object which looked like a rocket or some sort of explosive was found in Lanzarote. Experts were called in to investigate following the discover y in the sands of Papagayo in the municipality of Yaiza. The area was zoned off whilst the Special Group on Deactivation of Explosive Artifacts (GEDEX) of the Civil Guard carried out a visual

inspection. Lanzarote firemen were also called in. Two controlled explosions were carried out to destroy the object. Members of the public are being reminded that if they do come across anything suspicious on the beach, they should contact the emergency

services immediately and not tamper with it. Here in the

Canaries, call 112 (English available).

“Don’t juggle with lives” says Lanzarote Cabildo in new campaign

ROAD SAFETY

Just over half (50.5%) of the Spanish adult population (23 million people) has hypercholesterolemia, with levels above 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dl), which doubles the risk of suffering from ischemic heart disease, according to data from the Enrica study collected by the Spanish Society of Cardiology. Of the 23 million affected, 52.5% are women and 48.4% are men, and if one takes into account the age, hypercholesterolemia affects women more than 65 years of age, since up to 77. 6% have high cholesterol from that age. In the case of men, those with

ages between 45 and 64 years, those with the highest cholesterol levels, 67.2%. According to this same study, Galicia, the Canar y Islands, Extremadura and Murcia are the communities with the highest cholesterol levels, while on the opposite side of the balance are Basque Country, Navarra, Madrid and Comunidad Valenciana, with the lowest cholesterol levels. Every year about 228,000 people suffer a cardiovascular event in Spain, about 120,000 strokes and about 108,000 heart attacks and angina, according to the SEC.

Famous rocks daubed in graffiti

ANZAROTE has launched a major new safety campaign to urge drivers, pedestrians and athletes to take extra special care on the island’s roads.

The Cabildo says the warning is relayed to all, locals and visitors alike, but does point out that Lanzarote has a lot of tourists behind the wheel who might not be as familiar with the roads or as confident as resident drivers. The Consortium of Security, Emergencies, Rescue, Prevention and Extinction of Fires has teamed up with the Cabildo to launch the campaign which has five different posters with various messages. These include (in Spanish) questions like “Are you juggling with lives” and “Is five minutes too long?”, the latter aimed at impatient drivers who just have to overtake. Both bodies are urging prudence on the road, especially during the hot weather which brings more runners and cyclists out to practise their sport or hobby. “Lanzarote should have special awareness, because if minimum security measures are met and attention increases, it will prevent accidents,” they say. Patience is urged when drivers are behind cyclists and they must keep a distance of at least 1.5 metres behind them. Cyclists have priority on the road, including when a group of them are approaching a roundabout or a junction. “It is important to remember the regulations since the General Directorate of Traffic informs that 51% of the drivers do not respect the lateral distance of safety with cyclists,” says the Cabildo. However, cyclists and athletes also have to comply with the rules, with the first having to wear helmets and adhering to the rules, such as riding maximum of two abreast. Athletes should run with the traffic coming towards them and if in a group, no more than two in a row. They should also wear reflective clothing. Drivers are being urged to abide by the speed limits which on such a small island are low and to take care with overtaking. Other motorists should also remain calm if behind a tourist who might not know where they are going or have to stop to look at a map. Helping them, rather than tooting your horn, might be the best option! “Finally, both entities have seen how the number of accidents have increased due to the improper use of the mobile in both pedestrians and drivers,” says the Cabildo. “The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) after a study reports that 25% of the drivers use the mobile at the wheel and 37% cross the street watching the mobile phone.” The various posters are being displayed at bus stops.

ANDALS who daubed graffiti on famous rocks in Gran Canaria created quite a problem for experts when it came to clearing it up.

The task proved a difficult and hazardous one for the team who had to perch on ledges high up whilst wearing safety harnesses. The work to clean up Roque Nublo and Roque El Fraile in the rural park of Nublo was co-ordinated by the Cabildo. The cleaning of the two natural monuments involved the removal of the most superficial layer where the paint was, carried out manually with a wire brush and radial in the most porous areas. Councillor for the environment, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez said it wasn’t possible to use any chemical or pollutant as this might have caused more damage to the rocks. “El Fraile is a natural monument of enormous geologic fragility with a structure similar to the Finger of God in Agaete, that fell into the sea in 2005 after the passage of the storm Delta,” said a Cabildo spokesman. “Therefore, any damage done to the monolith can determine its durability and lead to irreparable damage.” The Cabildo is reminding people that causing this sort of damage to a natural environment is against the law. “Putting graffiti on protected natural monuments is a crime against heritage and the person responsible could face fines of up to 600,000 euros,” said the spokesman.

Don’t under-estimate head injuries, warns Canary emergency service

INFORMATION CAMPAIGN

MERGENCY medics have issued an alert about head injury cases, urging people first on the scene to watch out for potential danger signs.

When someone hits their head or has something impact with it, not becoming unconscious does not mean they are out of danger, the Canary Emergency Service has stressed. “It’s ver y important to monitor alarm signs in a person who has suffered cranioencephalic trauma that has not caused immediate loss of consciousness, and especially If it is a child, in order to avoid subsequent complications and act as quickly as possible,” said a spokesman in the service’s latest health campaign bulletin. For SUC professionals, the main signs of alarm after a blow to the head are the alteration of consciousness, drowsiness or tendency to sleep, nausea and/or vomiting, and bleeding or loss of blood through the ears or nose. Any of them indicates that the severity of the cranioencephalic traumatism is greater than initially thought.

In addition, these symptoms may be accompanied by others such as severe headache, bruises around the eyes or ears, and alteration in the size or symmetry of the pupils, either too large or small or with different sizes. If any of these symptoms appear, the SUC recommends calling 112 immediately where a coordinating physician of the emergency service will indicate the first aid that must be given until the arrival of the specialised healthcare. To prevent the situation from getting worse, it is vitally important not to move the injured person. “The person next to the injured party must verify whether they are alert and conscious, if they breathe correctly and check the presence of the pulse. This should be communicated immediately to the coordinating doctor in case it is necessar y to take some

The Fiscal Operative Group of the Autonomous Police, in coordination with the Canary Tax Agency and the collaboration of other operative groups of the General Corps of the Canary Police, seized 4,300 counterfeit objects in the islands between 2016 and 2017 valued at one million euros. The number of interventions carried out in the field of fiscal fraud during the years 2016 and 2017 in the Canary Islands increased to 58, although there were also 44 investigations during this same period, 20 identifications, 66 assists to Canary municipalities, 19 group services and a seizure. In addition to these actions, 445 inspections have been carried out by the Canary Tax Agency, as well as 21 other inspections, said the Ministry of Territorial Policy, Sustainability and Security. The group specialises in the detecting fiscal fraud but also investigates activities in tax matters and inspects the activity in tourist areas and tax on tobacco amonst others.

ANCIENT CANNONS

Spain sounds warning to Foreign tourists are treasure hunters after spending more in Spain, including the Brits ship relics recovered

They were recovered from a record oceanic depth of more than 3,000ft and come from the wreck of Las Mercedes which was sunk more than 200 years ago. Spain says this is an unprecedented success for global underwater archaeology. The twin cannons measure four metres in length and are over 2 tonnes in weight each. The expedition was organised by the Ministr y of Education, Culture and Sport, with the collaboration of the Higher Council for Scientific Research and the Spanish Oceanographic Institute, together with the Spanish Navy. Other relics were also recovered, including a bronze griffin, a perforated copper sheet used as a ventilator and three bronze pulleys with wooden remains still to be

analysed. “Work has begun on cleaning, desalinating, conserving and studying the remains recovered,” said a spokesman. “All the pieces, together with those extracted during the expeditions in 2015 and 2016 from the remains of the Las Mercedes wreck, will be incorporated within around two years to the permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Submarine Archaeology in Cartagena.” The Spanish Navy frigate was sunk by the British off the south coast of Portugal on October 5th, 1804 during the Battle of Cape Santa Maria. Its cargo included silver and gold. The complex recover y operation was conducted with the help of an underwater remote operated vehicle.

OREIGN tourists who visited Spain in July spent 11,902 million euros, 16.3% more than in the same month of 2016, according to the Egatur survey released by the National Statistics Institute (INE). Every international tourist spent an average of 1,132 euros, an increase of 5.6%, with an average stay of 8.2 days in the different Spanish destinations, a figure almost identical to that of last year for the same month. In the first seven months, total tourist spending increased 15.1% compared to the same period last year, to 49,119 million. Twenty per cent of that amount came out of the pockets of British tourists (9,898 million), who increased spending 12% compared

JOINT APPROACH

HE Spanish authorities have sent out another “clear warning” to treasure hunters after the third part of a government-funded expedition unearthed two 16th century cannons from the seabed.

The cannons were so heavy that special cables had to be used to raise them more than 1,130 metres to the surface. Both were embedded in the dirt of the seabed. Spain says the expedition was carried out under the strictest of conditions and followed all international protocols to protect underwater heritage. “The success of the three expeditions in 2015, 2016 and 2017 is a good example of Spain’s capacity at a scientific and technological level to protect its underwater heritage, even in the most difficult marine environments,” said the spokesman for the Spanish Government. “So far no country had managed to carr y out a systematic archaeological investigation on a shipwreck at more than 100 metres of depth, nor had managed to extract such heavy, large or small pieces. In both cases, technology and methodology was used that was extremely careful with the heritage involved.” “In addition, the excavation also issues a very serious warning to the large treasure-hunting companies that had so far worked exclusively on wrecks sunk at great depths with their high technology.” This was the third exploration of the sea depths to examine the condition and evolution of the wreckage and its cargo since Spain won a court case against a private treasure-hunting company which found almost 500,000 silver and gold coins worth over 300 million pounds. In 2012, following prolonged court cases, Spain won the rights to the treasure which was returned from the USA and is now on show in Spanish museums.

The disbursement of the Germans also increased double-digit in July, with a 13.3% increase; the Italians (11.6%) and Nordic visitors (16.1%), with the exception of the French, with an increase of 6.2%. By destination and in the first seven months, Catalonia stood at the top of the autonomous community with a greater weight in accumulated expenditure, with 22.4% of the total, almost 11,000 million euros.

The Canary Islands, with 19.1% of the total (9,404 million) and the Balearic Islands, with 16.5% of the global disbursement (8.117 million). In July, 25 of every 100 euros spent by a tourist stayed in the Balearic Islands and another 23 euros in Catalonia, which were the most favoured regions for the flow of travelers in this summer month. Tourists staying in hotels in July spent an average of 185 euros (7.3% more); travellers who spent overnight stay in rest of the market disbursed 119 euros (4.4% more); and the average daily cost of visitors in out-of-market vacations was 83 euros, up 16.1%.

Double pledge by Prime Minister on terrorism and immigration

PAIN’S Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has reiterated that terrorism is a global problem that must be tackled on a joint basis.

He has proposed a meeting of intelligence and counterterrorism chiefs of European countries to the G-6 in order to tackle this problem. He also announced that Madrid will host a summit of European and African leaders in the autumn to tackle illegal migration. The President of the Government took part in Paris in two meetings, called by the French President, Emmanuel Macrón, at which they addressed both the fight against illegal migration and the fight against terrorism. During his appearance before the media, together with the leaders of Germany, France, Italy, Chad, Niger and Libya, and the High Representative for Foreign Policy of the European Union, Mariano Rajoy underlined that illegal

immigration and terrorism are the two main concerns of European citizens. In relation to the fight against terrorism, Sr. Rajoy committed to “close collaboration” between the law enforcement agencies of different countries and to international cooperation. On this point, he highlighted the collaboration provided to Spain by France and Morocco. The President of the Government recalled that the Home Affairs Ministers of G-6, comprised of Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom, will meet up shortly in Spain. Mariano Rajoy announced that he will propose at that time a “meeting of the intelligence and counter-terrorism chiefs of European countries in the near

future” to tackle the problem of terrorism and combat its financing. He also highlighted the need to combat radicalisation on the Internet and in other areas. The Prime Minister also recalled that Spain is promoting a European Charter of Victims’ Rights. In his opinion, the drafting of an international statute on the victims of terrorism “sends out a message of a strong commitment to the principles of memor y, dignity and justice”. He said the goals in the fight against illegal immigration are very clear: to avoid people losing their lives, to wipe out the gangs trafficking people and supporting terrorism, to generate development, to cooperate in controlling borders and coasts, and to develop capabilities. In this regard, he highlighted that some actions undertaken by certain European countries are already in place. The President of the Government also pointed out that a task force will be set up to monitor the measures adopted on the matter of migration in Europe. He also announced that, at the end of October or beginning of November, a meeting will be held in Madrid to prepare for the summit between the European Union and Africa that will take place in the Ivory Coast on 29 and 30 November.

IBIZA ARRESTS

Cannabis farm had sophisticated music system to help plants grow!

OLICE on Ibiza have uncovered a major cannabis farm where continous music was played to the plants to make them grow faster!

Police say the electronic system was “very sophisticated” and allowed the constant streaming of pop songs in the secret warehouse. The smell of the marijuana was also expertly masked by freezing the hashish oil before it was sent out for sale. The set-up, they said, was very unusual for Spain and was “very professional”. The drugs lab with a musical thread was discovered on the holiday island as part of “Operation Kudde” in which three people were arrested. They now face prosecution for drug trafficking offences, belonging to a criminal group and defrauding the electricity company. More than 1,300 marijuana plants were seized, together with 28 kilos of hashish and 27 cannabis buds ready for sale. Three raids were carried

out, one in Ibiza town and the other two in the pretty resort of Cala Vadella. “Around 1,000 plants were found ready to produce hashish oil which was frozen to improve the conservation and durability of this substance,” said a police spokesman. “In this way, the drug is better hidden and the strong odour is masked.” “The dismantled laboratory also featured a sophisticated electrical installation by one of the detainees, automated with irrigation and light systems controlled by regulators at a professional level and with the novelty of the installation of continuous music play to promote the growth of the plants.” The warehouse also had security cameras so the gang could watch out for vehicles and callers. All three suspects were remanded in custody.

Balearics doubles its tourist tax in 2018 despite fears of adverse effects

“CONFIDENT” GOVERNMENT

OURISTS visiting Mallorca and Ibiza next year will pay double as much “ecotax”, despite claims that the increase will put people off, cause serious harm to Menorca and dent the spending power of holidaymakers. The rise to as much as four euros a night, instead of two, was confirmed by the Balearic Government which expects to bring in an extra 120 million euros a year as a result of the increase. It has denied the daily charge is a tax levy and says it will NOT hit the popularity of the islands. But angry hoteliers and business owners disagree, claiming the Government has been too hasty in its decision and is hitting the already understrain pockets of tourists as a result of the lower pound/euro exchange rate. The Business Federation of Majorca has described the decision as “a disaster” and it has yet to see any positive results of this year’s ecotax collection after it was reintroduced in the Balearics for the first time. FEHM president, Inma

Benito said: “It’s a tax levy and will have an effect on the influx and competitiveness of the destination”, warning: “There may be a significant number of people who stop coming to Mallorca throughout the year and not only in the high season”. The Federation says it is seriously worried about the impact the rise will have on tourist spending power as they will have less to spend on eating out, excursions or sport. In turn, this would be seriously harmful to the whole of the Balearics. The approved increase will mean tourists visiting in 2018 will pay on average three euros a night. Guests staying in hotels, city hotels, five-star apartment hotels, five-star luxury and four-star superiors will pay four euros per day; those of four stars and three stars

superior, three euros; those of one, two and three stars, two euros. As for tourist apartments, holidaymakers staying in fourkeys and four upper keys will pay four euros per day; three keys upper, three euros; one, two and three keys, two euros. In rural hotels, it will be two euros per day, in hostels, hostels residences, pensions, inns, tourist camps and campsites, as well as shelters , it will be two euros. As predicted, the Government plans to start charging the tourist tax to all cruise ships that stop at a port in the Balearic Islands regardless of the berth time - up to now it was only charged after 12 hours. The fee will be two euros and is estimated to generate revenue of about 1.8 million euros. These rates will be applied during the high season (MayOctober). In the low season, from November to April, the rates also double, even though the 50 per cent discount will be maintained. There will continue to be no

charge for children under the age of 16. The Government anticipates that the change will take effect on January 1, 2018 with the draft general budget. Minister of Finance and Public Administration, Catalina Cladera said the ecotax introduced this year had been wellaccepted and would “help correct the footprint of tourism” in addition to “redistributing wealth”. Vice president, Biel Barceló said it had not had a negative impact on visitor numbers to the islands and would still be “the lowest in Europe” compared to Brussels (average cost of eight euros), Florence (five euros ) and Amsterdam (three euros). Tourist spending had also not been affected, with latest figures suggesting there had been an six per cent increase in daily spending per person during the second quarter of this year. Business leaders in Menorca say they are particularly worried about the impact of the rise as the smaller island is not saturated with tourists like Mallorca and Ibiza.

Earlier, another runner suffered three broken ribs when the ball hit him. The local council says it will now review the security of the annual event which was introduced with the best of intentions. Whilst other parts of Spains still use bulls for their runs, Mataelpino introduced the white synthetic balls instead, three metres wide. They are capable of reaching speeds of up to 30 kilometres an hour on sloping parts of the 700 metre route. The local Mayor, Javier de los Nietos said the annual event had become increasingly popular and this year attracted 700 competitors.

“It is a spectacle offering something different from the bulls as well as cheaper, in which a ver y large ball is used. It’s a big ball and you have to have the same precautions as any other risky activity ”, he told Spanish newspaper El Mundo. One of the ideas being suggested is to put padding on the curves of the route and the council will be looking at the design of the barriers, possibly adding a second layer for greater protection. It is felt the danger zones are only in the curved areas. Meantime, Mataelpino’s alternative idea to using live bulls is being adopted by other parts of Spain though perhaps with balls which weigh slightly less.

Spanish town reviews “Running of the Balls” security O FFICIALS in a Spanish town which replaced the use of live bulls for fiesta races with giant balls have decided to look again at the popular event following injuries to two spectators. For the last seven years, Mataelpino in Madrid has used

giant “snowballs” instead of bulls as part of a festival watched by thou-sands of people. The giant white balls are used in the event known as the “boloencierro” (“Running of the balls”) and can hurtle down roads as fast as a bull can run but are not supposed to cause the same sort of carnage or cruelty. However, weighing in at 300 kilos, the same size as a small bull, they can still pack quite a punch. During one of the runs, the giant ball was careering down the route when it smashed into a barrier and shot off towards an unsuspecting spectator. He was unable to get out of the way and was floored by the ball, hitting his head on the ground and suffering a serious head injury.

August a good month for car sales, including in Canaries

AR sales grew 25.8 per cent in the Canary Islands in August, compared to the same month last year, to a total of 4,528 units.

The data from manufacturers’ associations (Anfac), dealers (Faconauto) and vendors (Ganvam ), also show that so far this year, sales have accumulated an increase of 9.6% (37,823 units). In Spain, registrations of passenger cars and SUVs stood at 72,410 units during the month of August, up 13% compared to the same month of the previous year. This increase in sales in August is explained by the

strong push of deliveries in the channels of rental companies, which accounted for an increase of 41%, and of companies, with a rise of 19.2%, compared to the increase of 8.5 % of deliveries to individuals. In the first eight months of the year, sales of cars in the domestic market reached a volume of 849,851 units, which translates into an increase of 6.9% compared to the 794,629 units registered

Biggest-ever robbery gang in Mallorca “operated for years”

OLICE have smashed one of the biggest robbery gangs operating on Mallorca after months of surveillance and a series of early-morning raids across the island.

More than 100 officers were involved in what is being described as “an unprecedented operation” for the Balearics. It is believed they had been operating for years and may have netted goods and cash worth as much as ten million euros during this time. Raids were carried out at a dozen properties in Llucmajor, Inca, Lloret de Vistalegre and the capital of Palma de Mallorca. Ten people have been arrested, believed to be responsible for violent robberies at villas and businesses, including busting open safes and stealing cash and jewellery. The first wave of arrests were made when some of the gang members were caught in the act of planning a new robbery. “The network operated on a strict hierarchy with each member having a specific role, whether breaking open safes, dismantling alarms, keeping watch or staking out future victims,” said a police spokesman. Undercover officers staked out each suspect for months to work out their methods. On some occasions, a boat was used to hide the stash or transport it elsewhere. Some of the stolen stash has been recovered, particularly jewellery, and efforts are being made to reunite it with their owners.

in that period of 2016. Given these data, Anfac Communication director Adolfo Randulfe described August as “a good month” in general terms and stressed that the monthly recovery of sales to individuals serves to compensate “a little” the setbacks experienced in three of the eight months of the year. August also broke the trend experienced in the two previous months in which more gasoline cars were sold than diesel in Spain. Thus, last month, 44.7% of deliveries corresponded to gasoline models, compared to 48.3%

of diesel and 6.9% of hybrids and electric. So far this year, diesel is still ahead of gasoline, with a share of 49.4%, compared to 45.8% of gasoline cars. Hybrid and electric models, meanwhile, accounted for a penetration of 4.7%. By segments, large minivans, with a decrease of 17.2%, and SUVs, with a decrease of 17.1%, were the only ones that fell in August, while in the first eight months also fell urban segments ( -2.9%), compact (-1.3%), medium (-8.4%), small minivan (-6.2%) and off-road vehicle (6.5%).

fire created toxic cloud of magnesium

HOUSANDS of people in three districts of Madrid were told not to leave their homes due to a toxic cloud of magnesium caused by an industrial fire. The emergency services issued the alert to residents of the major areas of Griñón, Humanes and Moraleja de Enmedio. Firefighters battled to control the blaze and dust at a factory stacked with 40 tons of chips of magnesium and aluminum. One 47-year-old man suffered second degree burns and the whole industrial estate at Fuenlabrad was evacuated. Guests staying at the Hotel Ciudad of Fuenlabrada were also told to leave because of the potential danger. The injured man was taken to hospital. The fire crews were unable to smother the products with water but used a special salt treatment instead. The blaze destroyed the entire facade of the factory, together with a lorry and trailer.

WELVE Brits were arrested by police in Magaluf for peddling cocaine following a major drugs swoop in the tourist resort.

Officers raided a number of premises as part of the second phase of “Operation Daju” and part of Mallorca’s overall bid to clean up its image. The raids took place both in Magaluf and in Punta Ballena. At least 12 properties were targeted by the police. In total, 14 people were arrested, 12 of them Brits, one Spanish and one Dominican. Three kilograms of high purity cocaine was seized, together with smaller quantities of other drugs, including MDMA, 103,000 euros in cash and four vehicles. The operation has been homing in on the supply of cocaine mainly to Brits who flood in to Magaluf and its neighbouring party resorts this summer. In the first phase, several British suspects, as well as some Spaniards, were arrested for supplying cocaine to sellers in Magaluf. Police said they had deliberately planned to flood the market this August

in view of the huge number of young tourists in the resort. The cocaine was being sold to holidaymakers by touts who used the disguise of “ticketers” ie offering them tickets to get into clubs or pubs. The drugs were smuggled into Mallorca on pleasure boats, once again using the huge number of vessels in the marinas to act as a cover. Many kilos of cocaine were then stored in special safe houses waiting for distribution and were regularly replenished. In the first part of the operation at the end of July, police seized five kilos of cocaine, four kilos of cutting substance, ten mobile phones, substances for the manipulation and adulteration of drugs and 6,500 euros in cash. At the time, local residents told the Spanish press that they were aware of the drug sellers and were ver y worried about their presence, especially as children lived in the area. The cocaine seized was described as “pure”.

Rockin’ all over the world: the Tenerife hotel which makes you feel like a star! Inside the HARD ROCK HOTEL in Playa Paraíso as its first birthday approaches

T’S not every day you drive up to a luxury fivestar hotel in a rather battered old Fiat Uno and have it parked by Elvis Presley!

Even more impressive was the fact that this rather famouslooking concierge, with his quiffed-back shiny black hair, didn’t bat an eyelid at the fact that this was no open-topped BMW or other shiny sporty number. He simply welcomed us

warmly, took the keys and little old “Alexander the meerkat” as we affectionaly call it disappeared for a few

days into the underground garage. This, we later discovered, is the very essence of the spirit of the Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife. A very convivial greeting for all. You see, you might fancy tasting a little bit of the rock

lifestyle but you don’t have to be in the elite to do so. Guests, we discovered, are all ver y delightfully

Beginning with an Eric Clapton guitar, Hard Rock owns the world’s greatest collection of music memorabilia, which is displayed at its locations around the globe. One of the most flamboyant greets you as you walk into the Tenerife hotel. An incredible outfit with hundreds of feathers as worn by Sir Elton John takes pride of place in the reception area and there are many other to discover, together with posters, discs and pictures. We particularly loved the old shots of The Beatles taken when they holidayed in Puerto de la Cruz just before they became famous. Paul McCartney with Marian Faithfull, George Harrison with Patti Boyd, lounging on the seafront in the Tenerife sunshine. We also loved looking around the Hard Rock shop with its souvenirs.

Tenerife has enjoyed the presence of a Hard Rock Cafe in Playa de las Americas since 2014 but it still came as a bit of a surprise when the group, together with Palladium Hotels, announced the decision to build a new five-star Hard Rock Hotel at Playa Paraiso. Not slap bang in the heart of the main tourist area, the location didn’t seem the most obvious choice but what a success it is proving. A veritable oasis overlooking the ocean, only half an hour or so away from the south airport, quiet, accessible, other local amenities on the doorstep and undoubtedly helping to spread the Tenerife image to newcomers to the island. “We hadn’t been to Tenerife before but we know and love the Hard Rock brand and my son just loves their burgers!” the young mum from Cornwall told us as we lounged on stone beds set into the heated swimming pool nearest to the main building whilst enjoying fantastic live

something bigger, all depending on your pocket. Hard Rock is known for its collectible fashion and musicrelated merchandise, of course, so you just can’t go away empty-handed. Destinations throughout the world where the brand is represented span from London to New York, San Francisco to Sydney and Dubai to Florida. Two of the most successful hotel and casino properties are in Tampa and Hollywood.

music by a very accomplished guitarist. Well, it was already 11am in the morning and what else would you expect in a rock hotel? The answer, actually, is choice.

A young couple enjoying their first holiday together and opting to try something a bit different. A middle-aged couple who wanted to reminisce about all those rock songs they

enjoyed during their courtship. And then us, of course. Living in Tenerife, just 30

minutes away down the motorway, knowing about the opening last year of the Hard Rock Hotel but not really realising what was on offer. Factually, of course, we knew much about the Hard Rock concept. Hard Rock International is one of the most famous brands in the world today. It is represented in 71 countries, including at the last count 168 cafes, 23 hotels and eleven casinos.

can hire a guitar to have a go yourself in your room - yes, honestly! - you really don’t hear a thing from outside courtesy of headphones as part of the hiring deal. Likewise, when the hotel hosts one of its now customary rock parties, the venue is around the laguna-style fresh water pool so is mainly out of earshot. You can also order personalised music, with tracks of your choice. Despite all this, we didn’t hear a thing when up in our ultra-modern room decorated in chrome and black as you might expect from rock star chic. The hotel has 624 rooms and 259 suites, split across two towers – Oasis and Nirvana. If you really want to push the boat out, the Rock Royalty Level, located on the 13th, 14th and 15th floors of the Nirvana Tower, houses rock star-worthy suites offering exclusive services such as a private concierge, a VIP check-in and free daily spa service. Sixteen of the rooms are designed to cater for those with a handicap. For all, there’s also a rock spa and gym. In your rooms, you will find all those special rock star touches such as Sleep Like a Rock® sheets and rain showers, ipad docking stations, whirlpool baths in some, flat screen TVs, robes and slippers. Who would want to leave? We had, of course, expected luxury decor and furniture and were not disappointed. The hotel is neither minimalistic or fussy but beautifully designed. There are delightful seating areas everywhere, five bars and a wonderful big terrace where you can sit and sip your cocktail before dining in one

of the six restaurants. There’s also an incredible 16th floor rooftop lounge with fantastic views of the majestic Teide volcano and the island of La Gomera. No-one is going to pretend that the drinks and food might

be on the expensive side but we didn’t anticipate anything else and there is always a choice to be found to suit the budget. Menus in the restaurants are deliberately designed to showcase the gastronomy of Tenerife as well as offer new flavours to the island. Perhaps go for seafood at The Beach Club which serves healthy Mediterranean cuisine right on the edge of the hotel’s saltwater lake and

has exclusive private areas from where guests can enjoy the live concerts from the neighbouring outdoor concert area. The menu includes a wide range of salads, fish, rice and meat dishes, while its signature

plates include scallop, sea urchin and seaweed risotto infused with sweet Malvasia wine from Tenerife, grilled tuna with tomato caviar and lamb shoulder cooked at low temperature with truffle mashed potatoes. Following the success of its sister restaurant in Ibiza, Montauk Steakhouse Tenerife is a must-visit for meat-lovers, offering an extensive menu of top quality and perfectly cured beef. Succulent cuts range

from a 400g New York Strip Loin to a marinated Black Angus skirt steak. Diners can also choose the knife they use to cut their meat from a wide selection of the best high-tech Japanese, German, Spanish and English utensils. Those that prefer fish and seafood can choose charcoal grilled fish, such as grilled haddock with sliced roast potatoes and mojo verde (a Tenerife sauce containing green spices and green pepper), or roasted lobster with Américaine sauce and garlic butter. Local Canary-island products, such as Gomero cheese, gofio (a local flour) with feta cheese and smoked red onions, and crisps with truffle oil, also feature on the menu. Narumi restaurant offers Asian fusion cuisine, ranging from freshly prepared Japanese starters and combinations of sushi and sashimi, uramaki, nigiri or temaki, to authentic Pad Thai. Narumi also features traditional Teppanyaki

tables where the chefs put on cooking shows based on surf and turf specialities. We enjoyed tapas at AliOlé, unusually presented but delicious, washed down with a few beers, a cocktail and a sangria. A selection of hot and cold tapas includes tomato and avocado salad with scallops, salmon tartar with Canary Island Salicornia, and huevos rotos (fried eggs) with Iberian ham and pork skewers marinated in mojo (sauce from the Canar y Islands). For a real taste of the Canary Islands, diners can enjoy papas arrugás (“wrinkled” potatoes) served with a spicy mojo sauce, beef cheeks with mojo picón (spicy sauce) and blanched gofio (local flour) with sautéed chicken. Lastly, dates stuffed with bienmesabe, a sweet almond paste, bring the meal to a delicious close. Sessions is the hotel’s buffet

restaurant serving mouthwatering dishes at any time of day or night in a luxurious and contemporar y space with waffles, cheese, meats, cereals, juices, fresh fruit or the like, it is all here with the most incredible quality. Rock kids are ver y welcome here of course and there are planned activities for all, regardless of your age. There’s also a chance to explore the island or go scuba diving or on a boat ride. One thing which is very clear about the Hard Rock Hotel here in Tenerife is that it is available to all. You don’t have to be on holiday to enjoy its delights as local residents are equally welcome if you fancy a treat. For us, two super days came to a close much too quickly and before we knew it, it was time to rock off in our little Fiat perfectly redelivered by Elvis, of course!

Countryman takes MINI to the max

What should I carry in the car? W

E have covered this subject in the past but feel that it might be a good time to refresh peoples memories as we so often see people stopped on the side of the road without jackets or triangles.

In order to be legal, and for your own safety you must carry reflective jackets in the car for the amount of occupants, so if your car is a five seater then technically you should carry five. These must be accessible from the inside of the car as they must be put on before exiting the car. If you breakdown on the motorway first put on your jacket and get your two warning triangle from the boot and position them one in front of the car at approximately 15 metres and the other at the rear again approximately at 15 metres away. Stay with your car but it is safer to climb over the safety barrier and wait the other side of that for the breakdown truck to arrive. All passengers should also leave the vehicle and wait with you in a safe place i.e. other side of barrier or on another road safely away from oncoming traffic. This is very important as if the car is involved in an accident whilst it is stationary is could seriously injur or even kill the driver or passengers if they are stood in front or to the side of the car as it will move upon impact. Aside from this you should always make sure that you have a legal spare tyre or run flat, along with all necessary tools, regular checks of this are important, they could save you a lot of heartache and worry and loss of time when tavelling. With regards to paperwork then this is of course far more complex. Firstly you should note that all paperwork carried MUST be an ORIGINAL. This means that you must carry: 1- Permiso de ciculación for the car, this is the car’s permission to be on the road. This document carries the make, model, engine size, fuel type, chassis number, registration number, date of first registration and the date of the last change of ownership. Of course it also bears the owner’s name and surname but no longer shows the address due to data protection, but this is held on the Tráfico system. 2- The Ficha Tecnica- this is basically the car’s log book, which comprises of all the technical data, engine size, model, tyre sizes and the optional sizes permitted along with the manufacturer’s details and the chassis number. On the reverse of this are details about the ITV and when it is valid until. It is important to note that there will be a specific date on here whereas on the sticker displayed in the windscreen it shows only the month that it is valid until. 3- You in date photocard driving licence either a Spanish one or if you are not resident then a European one, only where appropriate . 4- Your current in date passport. 5- Your current and up to date Residencia. 6- Your insurance documents and the receipt for proof of payment of the premium.

T’S been a favourite little car for many motorists over the years and now those looking for a bigger model can join in the MINI fun.

An all-new Countryman was added to the range earlier this year – and it comes with FIVE full-sized seats. This muscular-looking MINI is in the C-segment and is built to battle it out with other family SUVs. There’s a new generation of Twin Power turbo diesel and petrol engines, as well as a MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 – the first MINI with plugin hybrid drive. And a MINI Electric Concept – fully electric model – was revealed earlier this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with production versions due in 2019.

The engine line-up offers top performance and efficiency. I sampled a Cooper D model that is the most economical in the range with a combined figure of 65.7mpg. Equipment levels have been raised with lots of hightech features in the new car. Standard equipment on all models now includes satnav, Bluetooth, cruise control, emergency E-call and Active Guard. MINI owners like to personalise their cars and there are lots of colour and trim options. Advanced technology

features include a first-time MINI option of an 8.8inch touchscreen along with the MINI multimedia and navigation system. The interior is more spacious but retains the MINI style look with the circular central instrument display – surrounded by an LED ring that displays driving feedbacks. Driver and front passenger get more head and shoulder space and there’s extra leg room in those three rear seats that can be shifted back and forth. There’s decent boot space of 450 litres and this expands to 1,390 litres with the split rear seats folded. Although the Countryman is bigger and comes with

If you do not wish to carry your original passport and Residencia then if you obtain Notarized copies these are acceptable legally. With regard to the Ficha Tecnica and Permiso de circulación, for a fee at Tráfico, you can obtain what is known as Copias Compulsadas of these documents which again are legal to carry and produce if stopped the police. Other things that you are not legally obliged to carry but can prove useful are a pen and notepad or some paper, small torch, an accident claims form and a small medical kit. This list is by no means exhaustive but is a guideline for you. more ground clearance, it is still a fun car to drive. The 2-litre 148bhp four cylinder diesel engine in the Cooper D had plenty of oomph. It impressed right from the start with a zero to 62mph time of 8.9 seconds and there was plenty of acceleration power when needed. The six-speed manual gearbox was slick for quick changes as I tested the car on a winding and hilly route. It proved agile enough

when tackling bends at speed and ride comfort was also good for driver and passenger. With a top speed of 129mph, it wasn’t under pressure when buzzing along happily on the motorway. Cost of this model is £23,850 but the test car had a number of options that rocketed the price up to £32,145. These included a £2,980 Chilli Pack that brought items

such as front sports seats, driving modes, LED headlamps and auto aircon. A handy option for motorists driving out in their Countryman for a picnic is a £150 picnic bench. This slides out of the luggage compartment, providing seating for two people. The MINI Countryman – the brand’s biggest and most versatile model in its 57-year history – is stylish and won’t disappoint motorists looking for a quality compact SUV.

WEIGHT CONTROL

Keeping your horse healthy, fit and trim O BESITY in horses and ponies is a growing welfare problem and many are being allowed to become overweight to the point where they are susceptible to painful medical problems such as laminitis. Ponies in particular have evolved to survive on a fibrebased diet on rough plains and usually do not need the volume of feed we offer. No two horses are exactly alike in shape, size and type. Their breeding, history and recent general management all influence their body condition, no matter how easily or not they tend to gain weight. The perfect weight is best gauged by considering the horse’s overall fitness and body condition. All horses and ponies should be managed with a combination of the appropriate type and quantity of feed, good general health management and regular, suitable exercise (even if they are not in ridden work). This is particularly important for those horses and ponies that are “good doers”, that is those that put on weight rapidly regardless of how meagre the grazing or feed ration appears to be.

ASSESSING WEIGHT AND CONDITION It is a good idea to use a weigh-tape weekly (measured around the horse’s girth, where a roller or surcingle would normally fit). Record the weight so that the diet can be adjusted accordingly. While weigh-tapes are not always accurate at assessing the exact weight, and may differ between brands, if the same tape is used each time then any weight loss or gain will be comparable with previous records. After all, it is the changes in weight gain and weight loss that are important, combined with the horse’s physical health, well-being and body condition.

It is essential a horse’s physical body condition be monitored weekly. Check the animal’s crest and, if it is large and hard, there is a problem and the diet needs to be looked at immediately. Also, take the horse off the grass until it softens. Check the loins as they should be no more than level across the spine. If looked at from behind, the horse should be rounded but should not have a dip or “W” shape across the pelvis; the ribs should be easily felt. A condition score can be given to different places on the horse’s body to help monitor weight. These are usually the pelvis, loins, ribs and neck. Scores run on a scale from one to five. One is “emaciated”, three is in “good condition” and five is “obese”. Half points can be used to help with accuracy.

GRADUAL WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME Excess body condition is unnecessary and undesirable, raising concerns for the longterm health and well-being of the individual, particularly if the animal is subject to excessive fluctuations in weight or remains in a fat condition long term. It can take several months to return to a normal weight and good body condition. Fat deposits laid down for some time, and those which are hard to the touch are the most difficult to shift. Weight gain is often exacerbated in “resting” horses (companions, retired or otherwise out of work) as a result of the lack of appropriate exercise (which is not adequately provided by freeranging on good pasture)

combined with an ad hoc intake of forage required for maintenance. Also, remember that seasonal changes in pasture conditions can occur ahead of a change in manage-

ment practices. All weight loss programmes should be undertaken in conjunction with veterinary advice and be appropriate to an individual horse. Any

possible underlying conditions for unexplained weight gain should be considered and ruled out before commencing a programme. Horses suffering from laminitis should

be treated and managed under veterinary supervision. Information courtesy of Blue Cross animal charity, UK.

Do pets grieve for their human or animal companion? If, after a few months, you think your cat would be happy with a new friend, get in touch with your local rehoming center. Rabbits are extremely sociable animals and may react badly to the death of a companion. The best thing to do is find your bunny a new partner quickly. Introductions should be carried out slowly. Only get a new pet if you feel it is the right thing for you, your family, and your pets.

How to help your pet

AVE you ever wondered what happens to a pet when they lose their human or animal companion? Do pets grieve?

Like humans, pets too show signs that could be interpreted as grief. When an owner or fellow housemate passes away, pets may experience: Loss of appetite Change in sleep patterns Crying or searching A need for extra attention A generally sad demeanor But you should also note that you may not witness any of these changes. Many anecdotes suggest that animals feel like humans call ‘grief ’, including an understanding that the

deceased is not coming back, but there is little scientific evidence to back this up. What we know is that many species are affected by the loss and experience of sadness and loneliness.

Should I get another pet to keep them company?

When a pet passes away it can be tempting to get another quickly, not only for your own benefit, but your surviving pet will have another companion, but do not rush into this.

You should wait a while before introducing another pet to your cat. Remember, each pet is an individual and different species bond with each other in different ways. Dogs are sociable animals who live in family groups, so your surviving dog is likely to adapt well to a new canine if the pair are a good match. Cats have a very different social structure to dogs and by their nature do not always bond with other cats, even if they have lived alongside them peacefully for many years. Give your surviving cat time to adapt to life without their companion and avoid getting a new cat or kitten straight away.

Keep your surviving pet’s routine the same as you can. Pets thrive on routine, so any event that disrupts this can be upsetting. Make sure they are eating, drinking and toileting properly. Pheromones may help calm dogs and cats that are stressed. Ask your vet about these. Give your pet lots of love and attention, and take the time to focus on your bond with your pet. Human or animal, loss affects us all, but we cope best when we care for each other. Information kindly supplied by UK’s Blue Cross animal charity which has a pet bereavement service.

Michael Portillo examines the role of the railways in World War I. He finds out how the railways helped to precipitate a mechanised war, shaped how it was fought, conveyed millions to the trenches and bore witness to its end. Michael travels through Britain and Belgium uncovering railway stories from the Great War. At Bristol’s Temple Meads station he hears a first-hand account from the front line, then in Yorkshire discovers how women took over railwaymen’s roles and began literally to wear the trousers. 11:00 13:15 13:45 14:15 14:45 17:30 18:30 19:30 20:30 21:00

Donde Mario

La Bodeguita de Enfrente

Cuesta de la Villa

A great part of the fun of wining and dining in Tenerife is finding somewhere different and it’s well worth a trip out to Santa Ursula to the warm and inviting Donde Mario. Though from the outside you might easily pass by it, the inside is elegant and captivating. Restaurateur Mario Torres surpises us every day with his extensive use of produce in season, and his unbeatable experience with wines and cookery. Just try his Cherne warm salad, a super-healthy Canarian fish soup, or his Lomo de Vaca Morucha. You will be surprised.

Set in a series of old Canary houses, this restaurant is made up of a labyrinth of inter-connecting rooms leading off from the bar area in the centre. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an English country pub with its low ceilings with wooden beams and warm décor. The food is fundamentally Canarian. They grow most of their own produce at their allotment and only use olive oil to cook with. Their ethos is a simple one, only use the best, fresh produce and cook it with thought and care. The menu is described as Picoteo, slightly more than tapas without reaching the full-blown three-course meal status. It’s delicious and affordable. “La Bodeguita de frente” has been selected as a finalist for the “II Gastronomic Awards Cruzcampo Gran Reserva El Día-Mesa Abierta”.

Why not try a touch of “picoteo”, the Spanish-style of eating where, as the name suggests, you pick a selection of dishes and share with your companions. You will find “El Calderito de la Abuela” in Santa Úrsula and it offers a unique and homely atmosphere combining Canary cuisine with modern creativity. Last year, “El Calderito de la Abuela” won the “Best Canarian Kitchen Restaurant Award” in the first edition of the “El Dia-Mesa Abierta” Awards on July 28th. The exterior of this property belies what you will find inside as it is full of charm and carácter and there is an incredible view of La Orotava valley. “A gem” is how it is described.

SHOWCASE TO 2018 EVENT

It’s summer Carnival time in Puerto with three days of fun and colour Summer Carnival is returning to Puerto de la Cruz and a huge crowd is expected

HE second edition of these new summer carnivals will be held on September 15th, 16th and 17th.

The summer event will act as a showcase to the 2018 winter carnival when the theme will be Greek mythology. This new initiative also aims to serve as an incentive for the economic, social and cultural development of the municipality. It will fill Puerto’s streets with music and colour with musical and dance groups, orchestras and parades. Avenida Colón, the Paseo San Telmo and the Plaza de Europa will once again be the venues

where activities take place during three days with a broad programme. “The event will showcase our Carnival to tourists, visitors and residents of other municipalities, with a sample of what they will be able to enjoy, in all their magnitude, at the International Carnival of Puerto de la Cruz in February next year, “ said fiesta councillor, Ruymán García. The Mayor of Puerto de la

Cruz, Lope Afonso said the first summer carnival had proved a great success and he believed it would be part of the entertainment programme for years to come. In fact, tourism councillor Dimple Melwani believes it can be marketed as both a national and international attraction at the various holiday fairs “with specific tourist packages.” The Dorada brewer y company renews its sponsorship commitment, like Loro Parque, in this second edition, given that “carnival is in the DNA of the brand for many

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

New trails created in Teide National Park

ENERIFE Cabildo has opened more than 12 kilometres of new trails in the Teide National Park.

The work has allowed the opening of three new routes and the modification of a fourth that will offer visitors the possibility of passing through this space of the island and, at the same time, avoiding traffic on any road. The project, carried out through the environment department, has had a total budget of 146,095.81 euros. This amount includes the work of clearing the land, delimiting the track, enabling steps, construction of embankments and small walls, drainage solutions and different types of signage.

Vice president and environment councillor, José Antonio Valbuena, said the work was intended to make the Teide National Park increasingly accessible to the user and contribute to it being one of the national tourist references. The first route connects the Las Cañadas area with the trails that start in the vicinity of the cable car. Its route is divided into two sub-sections of about 3,000 metres in length each. The first one links the San José Mines and the White Mountain parking lot. In the

second case, it links the parking lots with the area of Majúa and Cable Car. Another one of the paths opened, of more than 4,000 metres in length, encompasses the area of the Mirador del Llano de Ucanca, the Roques de García, the Mirador de la Roulette and the Parador with Boca Tauce, making it possible to walk the complete route from Este to West by the central zone of the Park through this type of natural trails. The Cabildo says the work was carried out with the least possible disruption to the land. Ver y little vegetation was touched to keep the area as natural as possible.

years and we had to be present,” explained Luis Durango, marketing director of the brewing company. The image of the Summer Carnival keeps the cockatoo of the first edition “a character that represents the festive character, easily recognisable by everyone on the street,” but that has received a review “with a new chromatic range and adding a float”, explained María Castañeda, creator of the design. The programme of the summer carnival has been designed neither to replace or compete with the content of the winter event. On Friday the 15th, first day, from 9am to 7pm, the winner of the poster competition for the 2018 Carnival will be chosen by means of a vote that will take place in the surroundings of the Martiánez Beach. From 11am, Carnival salsa and makeup workshops will be held at Avda. Colón and Paseo de San Telmo.

Later, the official opening of the event will take place at Loro Parque at noon whilst from 4pm to. to 7pm., at the H10 Tenerife Playa, Valle Mar and Las Vegas hotels, there will be an exhibition of carnival costumes and a percussion workshop will begin at the Avda. Colón, along with a parade of fanfares, stilts and masks, that will complement the events programmed for that day that will end with an exhibition of murgas, with the Bambones as guests and a verbena in the Plaza de Europa at 9pm. On Saturday the 16th, from 11am in the San Telmo area and Avda. Colón, carnival makeup workshops will be held, accompanied by performances by choreographic groups and one of the novelties of this edition, the Disco kids, so that children can also enjoy dancing and music. At 6pm, in the Martiánez area, there will be further performances of choreogra-

phic groups. At 8pm the “famous and well-known Mascarita Ponte Tacón” will be held, from Avda. Columbus to the Plaza de Europa. The high heeled race for men will not be a contest and there will be no prizes but it promises to be as attractive and striking as its winter event. The fun ends from 10pm with the already known “Float Party”, explained the counciflor of fiestas, Ruymán García. For the last day of the Carnival, on Sunday the 18th, starting at 11am, there will be children’s activities on the Avda. Colón, which will be complemented with salsa workshops. At 5pm, a parade will leave from the Avda. Columbus and will end at the Charco Square. At the same time, the 101 Brass Band, composed of eleven musicians, will perform several tours from the Avda. Columbus to the Plaza de Europa. At 7pm, at Plaza de Europa, there will be fanfare performances.

TripAdvisor crowns Loro Parque as the best in the world!

PRESTIGIOUS ACCOLADE

HE prestigious travel portal TripAdvisor has recognised Loro Parque through their annual Travellers’ Choice 2017 as the best zoological park in the world, an award that is based on the independent evaluations of the users of this worldwide platform.

“This award is yet another acknowledgement of Loro Parque’s efforts in the matters of conservation of biodiversity and raising awareness about the protection of the natural habitats of the wildlife on the planet,” said a spokesman for the Puerto attraction. “Having been chosen as the number one zoo in the world, it is a true recognition to Loro Parque for its commitment to animal welfare and joins the series of several other recent certifications received by the park. “ Thus, earlier this year Loro Parque received a HumaneCertified certificate from the renowned animal welfare organisation American Humane that was conceded to Loro Parque for its humane treatment of the animals, converting it into the first zoo in Europe to have obtained this standard, with the highest rating. Furthermore, Loro Parque confirmed its full compliance with the Global Welfare Standards of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) after being inspected by the auditors of Global Spirit and obtaining the highest possible rating of 100%. Among the members of ABTA are present the leaders of the tourism industry, such as Thomas Cook or TUI UK. The award is also recognition for Loro Parque’s recognition animal welfare. Thanks to the support of Loro Parque, its partners, visitors, friends and collaborators, more than 17 million dollars have been directly invested for the development of conservation programmes both in situ and ex situ, following the commitment ‘100% for Nature’. Successes have included the salvation of nine species of parrots from their imminent extinction. One of the newest projects, KAZA, is aimed at protecting the cross-border areas of five African countries. The goal is to ensure the conservation of the African lion, a highly endangered species whose numbers have decreased in the last 50 years from 100,000 to less than 25,000 (over 75%).Three Angola lions recently joined Loro Parque’s Lion’s Kingdom. “Taking into consideration that every year more than 700 millon people visit zoological parks worldwide, Trip Advisor’s recognition demonstrates, once again, that Loro Parque offers an unforgettable experience to its visitors who come from different parts of the world to discover for themselves this authentic Animal Embassy,” says the park. This award comes as a reinforcement to the most recent recognition of Siam Park, which was created following the same entrepreneurial policy for continual development, innovation and excellence, as the Best Water Park in the world for the fourth consecutive year.

Pinolere attracts the crowds with 32nd craft fair

NE of the most important craft fairs in the Canary Islands attracted more than 25,000 people when the 32nd edition was held in La Orotava. The event at the Pinolere Ethnographic Park is as popular as ever and even the cool weather with rain did not put visitors off. In fact, the fair registered two records, one for the number of people attending and the other for the highest participation yet of craftsmen and women. About 220 artisans from different points throughout the archipelago showed their craft and artistic creations directly. This year, the main theme was wood and its fusion with creative cuisine. Manager of the Pinolere Cultural Association, Jesús García said hundreds of visitors, children and adults alike, had taken part in the different events, such as the artisan workshops. He also highlighted the movement that was generated around the I International Wood-Turning Meeting. Another very significant act was the tribute to the Canarian traditions and this year, the spotlight fell on Valle Gran Rey, in La Gomera, with its Bouquet of Arure fiestas. *The Pinolere Ethnographic Park and Museum in Pinolere, La Orotava can be visited at other times as well as it is open to the general public.

The website www.tenerife.es also provides information on the state of the trails, as the Cabildo, as manager of the protected natural spaces and the network of trails on the island, updates these and can be very useful before planning a route. La Orotava offers numerous and attractive trails in the coastal zone, as well as in the summits and Teide national park. Tourism councillor Delia

Escobar said the council wanted to continue the initiative by improving the trails, expanding them, installing better signposting and letting people know about them through leaflets etc. These brochures are distributed mainly in the Municipal Tourist Information Office of La Orotava, although they are also in hotels in the north area and other tourist offices that request it. In addition, it can be downloaded in pdf from the municipal website laorotava.es Delia Escobar stressed that La Orotava, the only municipality in Spain that goes from zero to 3,718 meters, has a great range of landscapes, flora and fauna, as well as numerous corners to walk on foot. “With this type of initiative, we intend to respond to a tourism sector that is increasingly having a great growth as it seeks to contact with nature, sport and the discovery of destiny through unique sensory experiences,” she said.

How to be happier T

RY these six tips to help you be happier, more in control, and able to cope better with life’s ups and downs.

Manage your stress levels If you have a lot of stress in your life, find ways to reduce it, such as learning a few timemanagement techniques or talking to your boss about changing your working hours. Introduce regular exercise and time to yourself. These are positive changes. Taking control of your time in this way can effectively reduce stress. If you have feelings of anxiety along with your stress, breathing techniques can help.

Use humour and enjoy yourself Try to see the funny side of situations and you’ll often be able to cope better. Jokes have a way of making worries seem less important. Doing things that you enjoy is also good for your emotional wellbeing. Simple activities like watching sports with a friend, having a soak in the bath, or meeting up with friends for coffee can all improve your day. Doing something you’re good at, such as cooking or dancing, is a good way to enjoy yourself and have a sense of achievement. Try to avoid things that seem enjoyable at the time but make you feel worse afterwards, such as drinking too much alcohol or eating junk food.

Boost your self-esteem Self-esteem is the way you feel about yourself. The best way to improve your self-esteem is

to treat yourself as you would treat a valued friend, in a positive but honest way. Notice when you’re putting yourself down, such as thinking, “You’re so stupid for not getting that job”, and instead think, “Would I say that to my best friend?”. You probably wouldn’t. Tell yourself something positive instead, such as: “You’re a bright person, you’ll get the next job”.

Your alcohol intake When times are hard, it’s tempting to drink alcohol because it “numbs” painful feelings. But it can exaggerate some feelings and make you feel angr y or aggressive. It can also make you feel more depressed.

Choose a well-balanced diet Making healthy choices about your diet can make you feel emotionally stronger. You’re doing something positive for yourself, which lifts your self-esteem. A good diet helps your brain and body work efficiently, too. Aim to have a balanced diet that includes all the main food groups.

Do some exercise Even moderate exercise releases chemicals in your brain that lift your mood. It can help you sleep better, have more energy and keep your heart healthy. Choose an exercise that

you enjoy. If it helps, do it with a friend or listen to music. Adults should aim for 150 minutes a week.

Get enough sleep Around seven to eight hours is the average amount of sleep an adult needs for their body and mind to fully rest. Writing a “to do” list for the next day before bed can organise your thoughts and clear your mind of any distractions.

Talk and share

Communication is important, whether it’s with a friend, family member or counsellor. Talking things through helps

you to release tension, rather than keeping it inside. It helps strengthen your relationships and connect with people. Lots of people find talking to a counsellor about things that are troubling them very helpful.

Build your resilience

Resilience is what allows you to cope with life’s ups and downs. Making something worthwhile out of painful times helps your resilience grow. Starting a support group to help others, or making something creative out of bad experiences by, for example, writing, painting or singing, can help you express pain and get through hard times.

The body’s tissues and organs need oxygen, which is transported around the body in the bloodstream. If the blood supply to a major organ – such as the brain, heart or lungs – is blocked, the organ will lose some or all of its function. Two of the most serious conditions caused by an embolism are a stroke (where the blood supply to the brain is cut off) or a pulmonary embolism (where a foreign body blocks the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lungs iethe pulmonary artery). The symptoms of an embolism depend on the particular type of embolism involved. The main symptoms of a stroke are drooping of the face, weakness or numbness in one arm, and slurred speech or an inability to talk at all. If you have a pulmonary embolism you’ll have a sharp or stabbing chest pain that starts suddenly or comes on gradually. Shortness of breath, a cough and feeling faint or dizzy, or passing out are also common symptoms. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (sometimes doesn’t cause any symptoms. However, symptoms can include pain, swelling and tenderness in one of your legs (usually your calf), a heavy ache in the affected area, warm skin in the area of the clot and red skin, particularly at the back of your leg below the knee. Get immediate medical help if you have pain, swelling and tenderness in your leg and you develop breathlessness and chest pain. You may have a DVT that’s developed into a pulmonary embolism. Divers should always be carefully monitored by their colleagues and supervisors so any air or gas embolism can be identified and treated immediately.

Why smoothies can only be one five-a-day

VITAMIN DRINKS

RUIT and vegetable juices and smoothies contain a variety of vitamins that are good for our health.

Unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies can only ever count as a maximum of one portion of your recommended five daily portions of fruit and vegetables. For example, if you have two glasses of fruit juice and a smoothie in one day, that still only counts as one portion. This because fruit juice and

smoothies don’t contain the fibre found in whole fruits and vegetables. Have other types of fruit and vegetables for the other four (or more) portions. Fruit juice and smoothies also contains sugar that can damage teeth. It’s best to drink them with a meal because this can help protect teeth. The sugars found naturally in whole fruit are less likely to

cause tooth decay because the sugar is contained within the structure of the fruit. When fruit is juiced or blended, the sugars are released. Once released, these sugars can damage teeth, especially if you drink juice frequently. Even unsweetened fruit juice is sugary, so keep an eye on the amount of fruit juice

and smoothies you consume. Your combined total of drinks from fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies should not be more than 150ml a day – which is a small glass. For example, if you have 150ml of orange juice and 150ml smoothie in one day, you’ll have exceeded the recommendation by 150ml.

Is there anything more Dental implants? Immediate or deferred? important than HEALTH? Artedental explains the options PATIENT INDIVIDUALITY

Do you need a dental prosthesis? Do you know the difference between an immediate load and a deferred one?

NTIL just a few decades ago, fixed or removable dentures were the only solution in the absence of a complete dental set. However, with the arrival of implants, the market is opened and the patient is placed in a much more aesthetic, functional and, above all, comfortable solution. The wearing of constantly moving teeth with the possibility of them falling out and the obligation to remove them to clean or sleep becomes, in most cases, a patient’s choice. Most dental clinics today provide implant-supported prostheses or, what is the same, dentures that attach to various dental implants integrated into the patient’s bone. A solution that is considered at present as the best in the market. Moreover, the use of dental implants is not exclusive to people with no teeth. It is also a solution for patients who have lost a single tooth or several pieces. However, when deciding on a treatment of implants with fixed prosthesis, it is important to know each procedure, as this choice will also save visits, interventions and additional costs. The difference between the immediate or delayed load plays in this case a fundamental role, sometimes impossible to avoid by the specific conditions of each patient. When speaking of “load”, it refers to the placement of the prosthesis on the implants, and is “immediate” or “deferred” according to the moment in which it takes place. In the immediate loading, the prosthesis is fixed during the hours or days after the placement of the implants; while the deferred loading is done after the implants have been osseointegrated, that is, they have bonded to the bone, a process that can last between three and six months. This does not mean, in any case, that the patient has to go home without teeth, because the prosthetist, with the help of the dentist, will manufacture a temporar y prosthesis that the patient will take until they place the definitive, higher quality and more aesthetic than the provisional one. The stomatologist and surgeon Juan Carlos de Vicente Rodríguez publishes in the Spanish Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surger y that there are no significant failure figures between one

process or another. That is, in both immediate and delayed loading the success rate of implants is similar, greater than 90%. So why is not an immediate load always made if the patient’s waiting time with a temporary prosthesis is reduced so much? The doctor and surgeon Víctor Cubillo, medical director of the Artedental clinic in Puerto de la Cruz, specialising in dental implantology, explains that “everything depends on the primar y stability of the implants, that is, they are sufficiently firm in the bone .” Such stability cannot always be achieved because of “the quality of the bone, not so much of the quantity, but of the quality and the ability of the surgeon to take advantage of the conditions of the patient.” In this clinic, in addition, they have spent years investigating to reduction of the patient’s waiting time as much as possible, to the point of having invented and patented in Europe a system that allows the definitive prosthesis (not the provisional one) to be placed on the same day of the placement of Implants, a system they call ArtOn4. “For the patient the advantage is incalculable,” says Volker Samrei, a clinic technician and one of the creators of this system, “in fact, the provisional prostheses are designed to last only a short time, and therefore easily fracture. The aesthetics are far from that of the definitive ones and its texture is of quite lower quality, something that the patient perceives clearly “. “Reducing patient waiting in dentistry is not just a matter of time,” explains the medical director of Artedental, “it also entails a reduction in cost and visits to the dentist, but more importantly, it implies an improvement in the quality of

life of the patient “. The proliferation of treatments with implants has increased dramatically in dental centres, especially after checking the results. For example in Artedental, the demand of the ArtOn4 system has increased exponentially in recent years. Amaya Sáez, director of the clinic, says that in the last two years the demand for this system “has increased to 500 a year, which has forced us to double the clinic team.” For patients who are thinking of rehabilitating their teeth and are not clear which system to choose, whether fixed or removable prosthesis, with immediate or delayed loading, it is advisable to go to centres whose specialty are dental implants. They will always be able to offer you the most advisable option according to the case, because “”each patient is different, as well as the number of implants, the loading system and the prosthesis. Everything must be individualised and valued after a previous study of the conditions of each patient, “explains Dr. Cubillo.

GETTING HEALTHY

New fitness parks lead the way as Guía homes in on sport

ESIDENTS of Guia de Isora are being encouraged to get healthy following the installation of five new fitness parks.

Chiguergue, Alcalá, Piedra Hincada, Tejina de Isora and the centre of Guía have felt the benefit of the new facilities to add to those already existing in Chío and Playa de San Juan. They are part of the local council’s plan to equip all the districts of the municipality with these types of sports facilities and represent an investment of 40,000 euros.

“They are facilities that residents ask for a lot and we have seen that they are increasingly used, not only by the elderly, but by anyone who wants to complete their daily routine of exercises,” said the Mayor Pedro Martín. “Our idea is to place this type of facility throughout the municipality.” In the case of Tejina de Isora, the new biosaludable park coincided with the construc-

tion of a playground in the Plaza Aveti. For this project, the council allocated a budget of 85,000 euros. This investment adds up to the 200,000 euros that the council has allocated to the improvement plan in the playgrounds of the different nuclei of the municipality. The council also built a new bio-renewable park and made improvements in the playground of Chiguergue taking advantage of the reforms of the sports centre. In this way, Chiguergue

premiered in July the second field of the Canary Islands in which Indoor Football could be practised outside. The stands and changing rooms of the sports centre were also improved and the entire installation was painted, with a joint municipal investment of 35,000 euros. The council also hopes to complete as soon as possible the necessary works to reopen the football field of El Mayato in Chío, after the agreement reached by both administrations in 2014. After assuming 100% of the expenses to reinforce the slope and other series of improvements imposed, the council has also installed plastic seats and a canopy, so that the total investment amounts to 500,000 euros from the municipal budget. Guia de Isora has also invested more than 70,000 euros in improvements in other sports facilities. An example is the new canopy for the stands of the football field of Agua Dulce. Improvements have also begun in the Alcalá field, where the construction of new changing rooms is planned.

SCORING TEST

Tenerife champion backs new mountain bike test LA PALMA CHALLENGE

HE first edition of Tr a n s v u l c a n i a Bike, the new mountain bike test organised by La Palma Cabildo and the public company Sodepal, will be attended by the champion of the Open of Spain Descent Édgar Carballo.

The Tenerife cyclist will be helping to launch the event on Friday, September 29th. The start time is 5.30pm and the route will be along the PRLP3 path, from the Pico de la Nieve, and the PRLP 3.1, with arrival at the Plaza de Candelaria de Mirca, in Santa Cruz de La Palma. Edgar Carballo considers that the uniqueness of the Descent, which doubles the usual distance for this type of test, since it is a route exceeding 8 kilometres, is “a great challenge”. He hopes the characteristics of the test will motivate cyclists from different places to move to La Palma to participate in the challenge. Édgar Carballo is one of the most outstanding cyclists in the Canaries thanks to the achievements that he has obtained nationally and internationally in the 13 years of his professional career. In 2005 he won the Spanish Championship of Downhill of the junior category and in 2014, in his step to the elite category, he won the title of national champion Enduro. A year later he participated for the first time in the World Cup individually and also as part of the Spanish team. In the present year he has won the Spanish Open of Descent in Alcaudete (Jaén). The last title he has obtained has been in the capital of Palma in the fourth edition of the Downtown Santa Cruz de La Palma. All persons interested in participating in any of the modalities offered for the Transvulcania Bike (K75, K30 and Descent) must complete their registration on the website http:// www.transvulcaniabike.com/incripciones-detalle/

“LA LAGUNA DEPORVIDA” opens for registrations

WIDE PROGRAMME

A Lagunacouncil has opened registrations for “La Laguna Deporvida” which includes a wide range of activities, including sports, school, adult activities, outdoor activities and hiking. The Mayor, José Alberto Díaz, said that in the last edition of this programme, around 3,000 local people took part of all ages “in what constitutes a clear com-

mitment of this government team for the promotion of sports practice.” “We have made a wide range of activities and facilites to the whole population,

especially children, in response to the high number of people who play sports and to encourage the rest to do so as well so that everyone finds their motivation to lead a healthy life,” he said. Councillor for sports, Agustín Hernández, said schools and civic centres were the main places where these activities will take place, although there are other spaces, such as municipal sports facilities, and open places such as the Parque de the Vega. La Laguna Deporvida is organised in different modalities and facilities: in sports promotion you can practice football, chess, athletics, basketball, handball, Canarian ball, Canarian games, Canarian fighting, multiport, skating, taekwondo, table tennis and volleyball.

Cabildo promotes Tenerife Bike Experience in December

HE Cabildo is promoting the Tenerife Bike Experience to take on an international dimension.

The cycling event, to be held on December 10th, could exceed 700 participants. The competition will have two distances of 193 and 94.7

kilometres, respectively, which will bring together all the athletes. The Cabildo is participating directly for the first time in the organisation of this sporting

event, which has three previous editions. “The event responds to the objectives established in the Strategic Plan of Sports of the island corporation, in which the island is conceived as a unique space in which you can practice sports 365 days a year,” said a spokesman. Cabildo president, Carlos Alonso, said the island corporation wants to promote this competition “to give it an international dimension and to have the same impact as, for example, the Tenerife Blue Trail”. Sr. Alonso recalled that great cyclists like Contador or Froome prepare their seasons in Tenerife “because of the exceptional conditions that the island has for the practice of this and other sports.”

BMX, bodyboarding, climbing, beach soccer, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, weightlifting, paddle, skateboarding, surfing, archery, triathlon, volleyball, beach volleyball and physical conditioning are all on the agenda. In citizen centres, you can practice dance fit, pilates, taichi, yoga and fitness. All those interested in enrolling in the La Laguna Deporvida programme and in the activities can formalise their registration in person from 9am to 1pm in the offices of the Autonomous Sports Organization or online at www.oadlaguna.com. However, on Monday, September 4th, BMX activities were initiated in an exceptional way, both in initiation and improvement, in addition to the school of rhythmic gymnastics. In both cases, registration deadline is still open.

GRANADILLA PROJECT

Humidity problem at sports centre to be tackled G

RANADILLA de Abona council, through the Department of Works headed by Concepción Cabrera Venero, has awarded the project to refurbish the municipal sports pavilion with the aim of solving the problem of humidity in these facilities during the winter. The budget to undertake this action is 47,799.40 euros and is expected to start in the coming days. According to Concepción Cabrera explains, this space needs an improvement that

avoids rainwater runoff on the façade, and give asolu-tion to leaks and subsequent humidities. “These are facilities that host during the year many activities and large events, not only municipal and local sports

schools, but initiatives and competitions nationally and internationally, so that the reform will also give better image and well-being to visitors and those who make use of it,” the coun-cillor explained. The works will consist of waterproofing and place-ment of steps and pavement, among other works. Thee work is being down in the quieter period so it is completed before the winter.

Holiday home segment now 13pc of local housing market

OLIDAY-HOME demand is back on the increase amongst local buyers, reveals new research.

13% of homes sold in Spain to local buyers are intended to be used as holiday-homes, according to a new report by the Spanish property portal Fotocasa titled ‘The Profile of Second Home Buyers in Spain’. Local demand for second homes is increasing as the economy improves after

years in crisis. The report provides details on the profile of second home buyers in Spain, based on searches carried out by house-hunters at the portal and a survey of Spaniards who have bought a home in the last year. For example, the report

reveals that 57% of people who have bought or searched for second homes are men with an average age of 46 years. 39% are after a resale property, whilst just 5% are only interested in new build. 56% are indifferent. The holiday rental market “ is one of the reasons why rental prices are rising so fast,” explains Beatriz Toribio, head of research at Fotocasa. “High returns from tourist rentals

encourage owners to turn to this instead of long-term rentals, which reduces the supply of the latter.” But the majority of Spaniards who have bought or plan to buy a second home in Spain have no intention of renting it to anyone. The main reasons given being they don’t want to deal with the inevitable wear and tear, nor have problems with non-payment, all according to Fotocasa.

House with land in the center of Santo Domingo, La Guanch, which is north of the island. Located very close to the coast it has a perfect micro climate and it is also very convenient for road access and all the amenities of the village. The bigger town of Icod de los Vinos is only five minutes and Puerto de la Cruz is 10 minute drive away. Large plot of urban land currently used to grow vegetables which are sold in the ecological farm shop at the side of the house. The house still has many of the original features including solid "tea" wood doors with stain glass windows. Tea wood is almost impossible to find now as it was taken from the center of huge pines in the Tenerife forests from the old times and it is one of the hardest and resistant types of wood available. With a little renovation this could easily offer a beautiful home or business. Viewing is highly recommended and for its location, plot size and possibilities is an extremely well priced property.
