An additional million tourists: Is it possible? Squaring the circle


In the Canary Islands where the territory is one of the great environmental and social values, we have not hesitated for a moment to appropriate the same from the point of view of monetary concerns. Canary require ten to sustain current growth rates over time (Canary Islands,''the head of the corruption environment.''Canaries now. 15/10/1910) . Unflattering indicator of the future that awaits us if we continue with the current development model being promoted in the islands. A development model supported by the institutions that comprise the islands' society. And the government of the Canary Islands is no exception to sponsor a large number of measures in the developmental line. The so-called Tourist moratorium or Emergency Law have worked so hard in the process of providing economic value to the territory as a prelude to the creation of employment.

The latest proof is the highest representative statements Islands. In response to a question asked by his own party colleague, José Miguel Barragán, at the meeting of government control in the regional parliament, the president of the Canary Islands has set a goal to create between 25,000 and 35,000 new jobs 2011. (The arrival of a million tourists "will generate up to 35,000 jobs. Journal Notices. 10/07/1910) . This will require as Rivero himself, to attract 1 million additional tourists in the next season. All of a song to the culture of the contention that we should encourage. Given this approach we get a series of questions followed by some reflections.

Question 1. Does the canary territory assume an added bonus of one million tourists?. In our view, no. Environmental indicators in the islands are very eloquent and shows that the load capacity of the territory has been exceeded. The rapid disappearance of farmland, pollution of aquifers and water scarcity, high pollution levels are recorded in major metropolitan areas, the damage suffered by our costs, loss of biodiversity in certain areas, etc, are some of the elements, suggests that an increase of one million tourists, away from deepen the well to bring environmental ruin the Canary Islands. A small sample, though representative, is the wear has already occurred in some areas of territory. (The Astrophysical lose 30 inches in three years by visitors. The Day 11/10/1910)

Question 2. "The evolution of tourist flows in the Canary Islands guarantees the arrival of 1 million tourists in one year? According ISTAC, in the period 2001-08 the average annual foreign tourists who came to the Canaries rose to 9.7 million. In those 8 years the period in which the community received more tourists Canary was 2001 with 10.2 million tourists. What the figures show this series until 2008 experienced a slight decline to 9.3 million and in 2006 when the islands reach only 164,852 tourists more than in the previous year, the most significant annual increase the entire series. These data should be added the flow of domestic tourists to have a complete picture but we could not find a reliable source for the same time period. In any case ISTAC data for the past 12 months indicate that from domestic tourism is adding about 18% a year earlier figures. These data could be showing that the roof of tourist reception is located about 12 million. Therefore attract a million tourists not only has not been possible in the last 8 years but this figure appears to be an impossible goal and totally unrealistic. A more typical of economies that are beginning to exploit the mass tourism of sun and beach leading economies and a period of time in the industry, the Canary Islands. Increasing that number would invest in more infrastructure for tourism which would face the limits of the territory. You can no longer take more number of tourists. We can move forward in quality (and desirable) but not in quantity.

Question 3. If we accept that it is possible to attract one million additional tourists in just one year "will be generated between 25,000 and 35,000 jobs? Hard to say. Certainly a million additional tourists would cause a significant multiplier effect in the economic machinery canaria, but the creation of so many new jobs depends not only on this factor. Tourism consumption produced by the flow of tourists will be an important factor. The type of services required that tourists visiting the islands. Looking at the figures, not always the equation to a greater number of tourists generated more employment. According to the document "2008 STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF TOURISM ON THE ECONOMY AND THE USE OF THE CANARY ISLANDS" , a study sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism of the Canary Islands, the year that more jobs are created in the tourism sector was 2007 with 320,000 jobs. A year in which, according to the ISTAC Canary visited 571,891 total passengers less than in 2006. Therefore, the creation of new jobs depends not only on the number of tourists visiting the islands. The quality and type of the services offered, the type of tourist who comes to the Canaries, the global economic situation, etc., are factors to be considered for employment to estimate a realistic figure.

in a limited territory and severely punished, it seems more sensible to go deep into tourism expansive type and quantity, promote qualitative tourism initiatives to equip the existing tourism sector of higher levels of quality. Quality tourism will always demand higher rents and a skilled job. In this line would dedicated efforts to restore and renovate a hotel industry for over 25 years, in many cases obsolete. These initiatives employ qualified labor and also, should not be neglected. There is a large niche job creation in the dynamics of renewal, regeneration and rehabilitation of facilities, from hotels to public spaces.

The Canary Islands Prime Minister and Minister of tourism seem to point to this line of work when in the above study have signed a letter which indicated that:

"... the main structural challenge to facing the sector is the upgrading of part of its offer to suit the tastes and preferences of consumers every day better informed, more demanding and more choices, coupled with increased global competition. Hence, the future prosperity through sustainable tourism in the Canary Islands, is being waged in the pioneers renovation of destinations, adding new features more frequently associated with differential enjoy unique experiences and a commitment to talent as levers to ensure its continued attractiveness and better suited to the times. "

And while that result in quality levels of the sector, further urges tourism planning that takes into account the volume of waste generated, the amount of resources consumed and land carrying capacity to absorb such waste and replenish resources exhausted by the tourist flow. Know if the executive has a study on this. If there is, seems to remain in the background with statements by the President of the Canary Islands as the above, which shows very clearly the type of tourism on the commitment and the economic model that continues to underpin with obvious impairment of the territory, value and factor main tourist attraction.

therefore turn to detect, among the political class canaria, this double standard in which one side are the words and harangues and other real initiatives that have little or nothing to do with those. The institutions of these islands and other agents with projection media and whether public or private, should overcome this tendency to proclaim with obvious gratitude the number of jobs it would generate policy or another. We miss a more serious treatment of these issues by providing arguments to support these claims.

is the policy of headlines that is customary among the political class canary in a highly mediated society that gives political speeches game like this, empty and aimed to occupy the front pages of the press. It listed very high positive expectations for the future at a critical juncture where it needs to create hope for economic recovery. But the lack of a story connect with credible political citizenship to create a strong hope for recovery, is the biggest weakness is the current policy developed by the parties in government have again returned to stage a break in the covenant.

"Night at the Opera."

1935 Psc critical sector was in favor of not agreeing with cc on winning the regional elections of 2011. The PSC of Conservative thought and believed, since it is the one with the power of the socialist apparatus canary, which is necessary since it is difficult to agree that a majority is a result of the next regional. The critical sector launched a órdago psc and proposed to hold conservative sector elementary psc. Were held and the critical area of \u200b\u200bPSC was defeated. They were wrong and underestimated the roots from conservatives within the PSC. "Democracy has prevailed," said the sector psc winner but at the same time trying to impose on the bastions managers psc critical sector, Tenerife.

cc
pp negotiated with a legislature that has been characterized by direct confrontation with the PSC, most voted, however, was relegated to the opposition, in it for almost two decades. Remember that cc was the regional government in 1993 after a censure motion against Jeronimo Saavedra, the psc. In the central government was the PSOE, was his last stop before the two legislatures pp. During the current legislative pp cc and staged a full understanding in spite of much friction, cut by the crisis, television canaria, REF, police state, etc. "An alliance is like a marriage, which did not always agree with one hundred percent other," said the official pp. In the previous legislature autonomic cc and pp also ruled together, but finally staged a breakout. In the next term, the current one, have returned to compromise.

In adopting the general budget presented each year by the PSOE, cc has played an active role since been supported with total conviction. cc interesting counterparts obtained as a result of this support (funding rail projects, ability to negotiate their status, Canary Plan, now water.) According cc "what is good for Spain is good for Canary . The silent and downs pp machine, partnerships are like marriage .... The PSC also silent, the national situation to open fire is not autonomous.

Regarding cc economy, supported by the points in the regional government, said that "has failed the economy, not the state of the autonomies." The problem is the central government which is ruling the PSOE in opposition in the Canaries, but in Madrid supports their budgets as we have said. However, in Canary cc has been in government since the 93 with the support in recent times pp. Also in some municipalities of the islands, where the covenant cc-pp has been vital to sustain many municipal governments. The support from DC to psoe budgets has led to the breaking of the pact between the pp and cc. The compacts are like divorce when you have to cut it short. A break is a repeat of what happened in the previous legislature. Nothing new in these parts. Pp

According to exit the current crisis requires that the PSOE longer govern. He argues that the incompetence of the PSOE is obvious. The PSOE said that the pp does not propose ideas, or wet and also has to resolve an alleged charges of illegal financing. cc advantage of the situation and said that "the PSOE is part of the problem, but the pp is not the solution" , but in Madrid supports psoe budgets and autonomy pp sustained mainly by the regional government and many local governments.

While all this happens right remains right, left, looks increasingly to the right and nationalism continues to be the left and right, depending how you look and go time. The left said that lowering taxes is left. The right says it had declined in 90, when they were in power, thus lowering taxes is truly right and not left. Meanwhile nationalists seeking funding to central government ruled by the left and they are remote region as Europe. In that same Europe, governed by policies of the right, is also seeking protection and subsidies for agriculture Canaries.

Given this tangle of partisan interests, understandable that ordinary people lost in the din of the covenants, in the concessions concerned about and others, in the speeches of balancing of all, stands for identity, politically equidistant positions, presumably differentiated and the presumed argued. However, for cc, PSOE, and pp is hard to miss since they maintain to the citizenry that rictus immutable, the supposed image of coherence trying to sell to the public, this is normal, necessary, vital. Perhaps they too are lost in the square this circle, but in the meantime have to ensure stability ...

all this great nonsense to call it democracy or more specifically "covenants that are necessary for good governance in parliament," . But when everything seems to be the same, when each other at will manipulate the discourse and reality, when the only difference seems to be the initials, the governance pacts assumptions happen to be a comic opera that simulates the performance of a policy In any case, lower case.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate reached 30% Canary Islands, the largest in Spain and in accordance with the Association of Temporary Employment Department, the Canary Islands is the community with the highest percentage of households with all their assets unemployed. Nearly 5% of the population suffers from severe poverty Canary and 35% of households have any kind of poverty according to Caritas. According to "Facts and Figures 2010-2011" Ministry of Education, school failure has increased by three points, from 32.3% to 35.5%. The areas of health and education were a large snip of € 130 million recently by its makers, pp. Budgets autonomous in 2011, its director announced a cut of 455 million more that will cause a further delay in vital infrastructure such as hospitals. Corruption cases stifle autonomy and the level of environmental degradation is increased by development policies.

is not surprising that given this grim outlook voter turnout rate in the regional elections is among the highest in Spain.

"Santa Cruz needs a great beach?


autonomous regimes are prone to the strengthening of elites through scholarships. They are found in the circles of political power and maintain control of certain media, opinion favorable to their purposes. Is no exception Canarian autonomy. Said an elite entrepreneur in the Canaries was difficult to distinguish the political from the business. In short, communicate or excommunicate you.


Amazing cataract statements, arguments and studies in recent days have surfaced with great urgency to justify the construction of a large beach in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It detects the proximity of the regional elections where some political parties, with great timing, trying to position themselves ahead of elections. And do not proposing social measures or how to improve essential public services such as health or education. Or proposing the basis for changing a wasteful economic model of our natural resources. No, what rules is great, the Pharaonic, the disproportion, the monumental.

our authorities are inclined to the policy excess, even in times of crisis where common sense should spend, yes, but with moderation and for efficiency. Not long ago the great buildings were signed by the Star System of architecture that was offered to take the city for an alleged ostracism architecture. At other times have been the major transport infrastructure which had undertaken to place the city of Santa Cruz in the vanguard of urban dynamics.

We now have a new version of the colossal policy. Now you need Santa Cruz is a great beach. A beach at least a mile long by Ignacio Gonzalez (CNN), with its hotels, shopping and entertainment areas, parking and other amenities typical of a tourist area. (The City proposes to dig up the old beach. La Opinión. 23/08/1910) . Or two!, As well Miguel Zerolo (CC) offers his (In Santa Cruz itself was beach ... La Opinión. 10/03/1910) . But we should not worry, both are compatible because they are conveniently supported by the technical group of professionals supposedly in such projects often bring their technical knowledge (Engineers support the creation of two beaches in Santa Cruz. The Review 18.09.2010 .) . Projects also have the mandatory institutional support of those instances of the same political line (The Santa Cruz City Council proposes to open the sea. 10/07/1910) . And how could it be otherwise, the throng of groups who see in this proposal a way to satisfy their personal interests more (The Innkeepers will support the new beach of Santa Cruz. La Opinión. 14/10/1910)

The behavior pattern is so obvious that it borders on the obscene. Political discourse, followed by the often uncritical media coverage (Is it news?). Later institutional support and technical backing. At a later stage groups emerge with an interest in the proposal to declare their unconditional sponsorship. And finally, discussion of street projects in the collective imagination to create a favorable opinion or not as the critical capacity, ideology, or the criteria of each. Of course absence of an informed public debate that addresses different options in an attempt to promote alternatives to the initial approach. Or a detail of the conditions that lead to intervention. Or an explanation of how the intervention would fit within the city. Or Does this intervention, the PGO of the city recently rejected by the Cotmac? Does the above referred PGO and currently in force? PIOT What does this matter?

When proposals are the same, or the incompetence of political leaders is of a magnitude unprecedented lack of originality, or is that those politicians have seen an obvious seam in proposing the same thing. Both matches are counterproductive and lead us to pose the question another way: who needs a great beach in Santa Cruz? What economic or business group sells the need for a great beach?

free Speaking of hasty, just argued and having the media rhetoric typical of the statements who want to impact, politicians canaries are offering the same guise of the new. Appeal to nostalgia for sensibilities remove ("It's just that he was there to unearth the" Witnesses to a sea-drenched capital speak of a city "very different from today.") His allegation so often pretended to hold a solid philosophy founded ("Santa Cruz should be open to the sea" is a law of this city one day take back what we had, our sea) . And how could it be otherwise, thoughts for the future that create expectations ("a fantasy beach," "will create new jobs," "It would be a first step towards the transformation of the city")

Throughout this process of political marketing book, we find an enemy. The obstacle that has prevented most citizens can enjoy the surrounding. An element on which to concentrate the anger, contempt, enmity of all those individuals likely (potential voters) to support the proposal and without prior warning, as a rant manipulated, they will become advocates of the proposal in the near future. That obstacle is the Port of Santa Cruz, allegedly decrepit infrastructure, typical of the twentieth century by the powers who want to overthrow and growing state impairment which is situated in a bias in the center of the targets as the cause of burial of the beach that existed at the time. Ojo! Almost a century ago. Both beaches

proposals would occupy the space from the auditorium to the council and from the Plaza of Spain to the present Yacht Club. This is just on the main front of the city of Santa Cruz where he is currently extending the dock of Los Llanos (where containers are piling up), spring and spring Liaison de Ribera (where ferries dock and traffic load).

live a miserable time where politics, away from the public and folded to certain business interests always hiding something in a dark area, away from the first line media. Mains are political and economic power. The proposals of Mr. Zerolo and Gonzalez hide a draft strategy, enabling the Port of Granadilla by the progressive dismantling of the existing port of Santa Cruz.

But Santa Cruz de Tenerife Need a beach?. Remember that it was in the late fifteenth century, when Alonso Fernández de Lugo landed in the area where the current port is located to conquer Tenerife. The city of La Laguna was the capital of the island and the port of Santa Cruz, its small port and one of the entrances to the island. Subsequently began to compete with the ports of Garachico and La Orotava more traffic than Santa Cruz. The decline of the port of La Orotava and buried by an eruption of Garachico, in the early eighteenth century, stood at Santa Cruz in an advantageous position. Its growth was unstoppable and with it the development of a town that later evolved into town and later in capital. Capital did not enjoy the sea from a tourist point of view but through the port infrastructure is connected to the outside, linking the sea. Enter by sea and other food goods that make life possible on the island. El Puerto de Santa Cruz is the backbone of the city's soul. Without it the city would lose an element of identity essential. A dynamic economic activity. Many jobs.

Certainly the public has a right to enjoy a coastline that has been denied for many years. But the fact remains that Santa Cruz is not Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a relief to have a cost advantage that allows versatile use part of the great Puerto de La Luz and the other to the stunning beach of Las Canteras.

seems more sensible, for economic, social and environmental cost closer to citizens through the recovery of those areas access to the sea left in the capital of Tenerife, where the costs of regeneration would not excessive. Take, for example, Valleseco Beach, a neighborhood that has been waiting 20 years for the empowerment of the bathing area (although the project "Sol y Sombra" Casariego J. and E. Guerra winner of ideas, it seems to sin the same defect that is criticized here, the excess, as it projects a beach of 1 km in length equipped with the facilities for leisure). The reorganization and the promotion of access to the sea in the district of San Andrés. The regeneration Teresitas especially with regard to their access to transport. The recovery of these small areas would be based on ad hoc interventions, as "acupuncture" , where they seek a connection to the sea of \u200b\u200bsmall spaces that facilitate the bathroom, without interfering with port activity but broad enough to allow the public to enjoy the sea ensuring hygiene water.

in complete safety can be made of such actions from the Marine Park area to the Muelle de Ribera, sized, not both economic and ecological cost and above all without the need to radically change the appearance of the city. It can be done. Another thing is that they are not media but surely people would be interventions that Santa Cruz would value.

Our politicians should be worked over their proposals because our taxes we're paying his salary and because above all Mr. Miguel Zerolo charged with illegal development continues in the case called The Teresitas and Mr. Ignacio Gonzalez is the son of the current president of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Navigation of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, involved in the same case being investigated by the anti-corruption prosecutor. But above all, our politicians lack a sense of perspective needed to build a sustainable city that respects environmental stability.

The Puertito of El Sauzal, a space to preserve


The first thing you notice when we come to this area of \u200b\u200bthe coast of the municipality of El Sauzal in Tenerife, released constructions illegal populated territory, is that after more than 4 years of work, any citizen want to enjoy this nature, can not do it unless access by the two traditional paths that are open through the cliff. Surprising that the allocation of € 6 million dedicated to the intervention of the first phase of the demolition of settlements and the construction of the current tour, has not been enough to at least put the current access road is closed.

is the coast of El Sauzal an area that holds great experiences and expertise to its population. For perhaps more than two generations its people have held this territory through "settlements" illegal born more or less spontaneously as a result of two factors. First, the possibility of developing a small economic activity centered on subsistence fishing, which complemented the town's economy. Second, the absence in the Sauzal a coastal area where the beach and enjoy nature from a tourism perspective. Situated. We're talking about the 70's in the latter case, when the tourist boom had been born in the Canary Islands and what might be called a certain culture associated with holding a second home began to develop from the end of that decade. Was a town with a purchasing power begin to grow and as with most other peoples was all done. The end of the Franco regime, the Constitution and the first regional elections opened a new era of opportunity.

An interesting exercise would be to reflect and inquire into the reasons why in El Sauzal not been successfully developed in the last 30 years, a solvent project to allow its citizens the enjoyment of this coastal area. If the coast is occupied more formal in other municipalities of the Canary Islands where conditions were, a priori, more hostile than in the case sauzalero to be located in more remote places, remote and inaccessible. It occurs to us such as Punta o Jandia in Fuerteventura Cotillo Caleta del Sebo or on the island of La Graciosa to Lanzarote.

A village, El Sauzal, which was based on similar economic and social conditions than others on the island of Tenerife. His handicap perhaps, be a small town but from 79 total enjoyed political stability (ATI-CC rules to the present) to drive any decision to that effect.

The question is greater if we consider that in the neighboring town, Tacoma, and there was a similar dynamic in the areas of Pris and Mesa del Mar. In these enclaves were built during the decade of the 60 accommodations visually stunning and some environmental condition (particularly in Mesa del Mar) that completely transformed the coast and allowed the appropriation by private agents (pioneers for some, for others caciques) of that public space in the hot tourist boom of the 60's. After and during the beginning of the mandate of the PSOE which lasted from 79 to 95 in Tacoma were demolished illegal constructions were of similar characteristics in El Sauzal in an unsuccessful attempt to return to the citizens of Tacoma Public Space without doing anything against the hotel facilities that still exist today.

If we assume that the government team that entered El Sauzal in 79 was aware of the opportunity which was an unspoilt coastline and rugged sauzaleros it impossible that they could enjoy the beach in those conditions, we venture to suggest that the possible reasons that delayed the process going in the following line:

a-Le
entry into force of the law of costs in 1988 which repealed until the time, dating from 1969 that somehow, when more restrictive, could conflict with or modify the hypothetical council plans at that time.

b-do the access road to the coast belonged to a land ownership privately owned (or owners) and the municipality of El Sauzal never reached a mutually beneficial agreement.

c-The high cost of a project of this size that would have involved the council itself, the Cabildo de Tenerife, Canary Islands Government and the Directorate of Coasts in the 80's.

d-The abrupt topography of the coast of El Sauzal complicating create another alternate path to that in the territory.

e-The possible fear of the municipality of El Sauzal to take action of some unpopularity in the early 80's meant as "away" from the coast to a small number of families, but with some electoral clout at a recent arrival to power of ATI. For those families occupying the sea, totally illegal, informal and without acquiring property rights, was an important component of sentimental attachment and reinforcing traditional ties of cohesion in a small sized town.

f-The preceding controversial late 70's in the process of demolition of constructions similar to those of El Sauzal in existence at the Mesa del Mar in Tacoma, which was spared the current hotel Mar y Sol, built a few years earlier despite the breach and fails at a glance the law of costs.

g-Although in decline between the late 70's and early 80's, farms ranging by the sea, used to grow bananas, providing employment to a number of people in the agriculture sector. Although I had to involve the elimination of this activity, a tourist project on the coast of El Sauzal could not be received favorably by the group.

h-The plain and simple fact that the government team did not even consider including in their strategic development plans to use and enjoy your own expense, at least during the first two legislatures.

Whatever the cause or root causes which have prevented the citizens of El Sauzal had the chance to enjoy the coast in a position, it seems that only the individual will almost pioneer attitude of the people of El Sauzal of having a natural area near the sea, was the main impetus was able to bend over a cliff 100 m high and has a heart attack than non-road enjoyed the security and safety. Over at least two generations especially from the early 80's, the settlements were proliferating around an area of \u200b\u200babout 2 km of coast where the buildings that came to exceed 400, were built directly over the ridge, conditioning caves and taking advantage of the ease of excavation provided a rugged cliff but was easily molded. The most daring and belonging the second generation venture to build houses of acceptable structure which represented an organized attempt to create a living space that nevertheless lacked the minimum conditions of sanitation, electricity or garbage collection with the subsequent condition to the territory gave support.

After so long, it's time to provide the people of El Sauzal the coast that they were born, perhaps as a tribute to all those families who helped to modernize the village, but mainly because it is a great opportunity for Tenerife will enrich the environmental values \u200b\u200band landscape of a coastline like Acentejo. But urged to do so with discretion, respecting the size of the territory, with a sense of space and ecology, and of course compliance with scrupulous rigor the current law of costs. It must be done with a project that combine knowledge economy, nature and needs of the population. A landmark project at conservation where the protagonist is not an architect building a reputation but the very landscape that surrounds the space.

know if the council has consulted its people through a citizen engagement initiative, what their hopes are for its coast in an attempt to capture needs and satisfy demands. It would be a genuine exercise of courage and democratic modernity could be successful. Remember that planning is the ultimate expression of policy decisions taken after a long and arduous process of discussion and technical discussion, which will culminate in the more successful the more agents were involved in it.

Some ideas that might apply and develop could be:

1 - Ensure that no private agent can exploit a large segment of the coast of Tenerife where there are large pockets of land to be revalued in the future in a municipality where the amount of available land is already scarce. For it seems vital that the property the soil is kept as far as possible in public hands. Extend the model of development that already exists in the areas of Los Angeles, La Primavera and Los Naranjos would extend the current residential model that has been imposed in the last 20 years in El Sauzal that has raised the price of land and extended the dimensions the people to their limits. A formula that barely contributes to the creation of a dynamic people endowed with a certain economic activity.

2 - Making the sinuous structure of the coast with its incoming and outgoing calls to develop and enhance the natural pools created by volcanic action itself are in some places. Periods of high and low tide can support intervention in this regard also give the space a natural component elements of identity to be promoted.

3 - could be interesting from a socioeconomic perspective recover the old fishing that existed in the area to create additional economic activity that energizes the space from a viewpoint not only tourism, complementing the economy city \u200b\u200band introducing traditional values.

4 - Development of a small rural tourism linked to conditions in the coastal landscape, the trails remain open, which are passable and could be put up properly, the possibility that you can camp out in strictly controlled areas, creeks themselves giving access to the sea and the fishing industry itself which can be powered. The only building that dominates the space could be rebuilt and converted into a rural hotel with small dimensions in a program of maximum respect for the environment.

5 - Discourage access to private space vehicle, and distorting the main element polluter of the environment settings, the silence, the cliffs, unspoiled nature and landscape. Access may be permitted only when linked to economic activities that could boost the area. With only 2 km long displacement does not seem difficult to walk or bicycle for those who wish to move for that space.

6 - Protecting and restoring the flora and fauna of the area, such as Lotus Maculatus or peak dove whose survival is threatened.

And although many more ideas could be proposed under the maxim that small is beautiful , it is certain that the coast of El Sauzal, at present, is in a unique position to maintain in full century conservation conditions very acceptable from the point of view. In retrospect and analyzing the characteristic and impressive economic development in the coast of the island of Tenerife, was a stroke of luck that he Puertito has stayed out of that dynamic.

dynamics, perhaps, had been to occupy the territory through the construction of buildings lacking any aesthetic and environmental sensitivity, which would have meant the invasion the public domain. The cases of the Mesa del Mar and El Pris in Tacoronte and testify, or other, more radical as the case Radazul. He also managed to get rid of the intentions styles currently trying to promote certain environments through the construction of facilities port of sports. And in many other interventions of all kinds away from coastal areas to recover the citizens have responded to the desire for private gain of a few (whom the powers conferred pioneers behaviors where there was only attitudes caciques) who were able to move mains between economic and political power to meet its goals.

Is all this what should be avoided.
