Corralejo half marathon.
Applications need to be in asap for the second half marathon on the dunes of Corralejo which is to be held on October 29th. The route is along the sea front running on the sands. Apply to the administration office in La Oliva. Numbers are restricted.
Tindaya.
Excavations have commenced in the sacred mountain and neighbouring area. The site is to be turned into a tourist attraction despite local objections to the plan. Much controversy surrounds the present action.
The Canary Island airports recorded an increase of 5%
The eight airports in the Canary Islands in August 2010 recorded increases of about 4.8 percent arrivals during the complete month on last years figures. Fuerteventura was up 27% on the same month last year.
Free air fares.
Binter airlines are offering the possibility of free travel from 15th September to El Hiero provided there is a minimum three night stay in certain hotels. Phone Binter Airways for further details.
Lanzarote has unexpected arrivals!
A serious fault in the cruise ship,Atlantic Star, operated by Pullmantur Maltese, has caused a real mess on the dock of The Marbles (Arrecife), where 1,500 passengers were evicted on arrival in Lanzarote. They had been several days at sea without water, electricity and air conditioning in most of the cabins, with deplorable sanitary conditions
Tourist spending in the Canaries.
Spending by non-Spanish tourists in the Canaries may have fallen in recent times but holidaymakers continue to contribute a staggering amount to the region’s economy. Figures published by the Spanish Ministry of Tourism show that visitors holidaying here during the first half of this year spent a total of €4.3 billion, an average of €96 per person per day. The figure, which amounts to a fifth of all foreign tourist spending in Spain overall, is 2.2 per cent down on the same period last year, although the news for the Canaries was not all negative. The hotel and apartment occupancy rate (65 per cent) was a full twelve points higher here than in the rest of the country. The month of June alone brought €534 million in spending by visitors from abroad.
New police force problems
The new Canarian police force is barely a month old and is already experiencing rumblings of discontent within its ranks. Long hours are the main concern of the discontentment .The union says the deployment was ill-prepared and senior officers are, “making it up as they go along”. The eagerness to get the force of the ground has been the chief problem to the lack of planning.
Better care for the elderly.
The government met this week to discuss ways of improving care for the elderly on the island. Senior citizens in a situation of lack of dependence are their main concern. At the present time there are no facilities for elderly care and this often cause distress in the ex Pat community.
