Photo: Sanidad. Updated 2pm: Guía de Isora Ayuntamiento has raised the red flag to ban bathing at Playa de San Juan due to the appearance of the algae.

It was perhaps not that difficult to spot because it was speeding the wrong way up a one-way street there too, and in conditions of significant danger since it was during the town’s recent Virgen del Carmen fiesta where the streets were full of people. A breath test showed that the driver was well over the limit and is being processed for careless driving under the influence.READ MORE

For those who don’t already know, the walk takes place every December, and this is the 13th year it has been held. It is an event which brings together SpanishREAD MORE

Updated 20 July: A third judgment from the Canarian Supreme Court is again against the Canarian Government’s attempt to ban private holiday lets of residential apartments in tourist areas. The judgment ruled that the decree as it is infringes competition possibly in an attempt to give favourable treatment to the hotel sector. The rulings are piling up, and this one will no doubt be appealed along with the first two. Updated 13 June: And the second judgment from the Canarian Supreme Court in response to Ascav’s appeal is the same as the first: the prohibition on private holiday lets of residential apartments in tourist areas will not wash.
