Daily news from the Canaries and the islands' biggest English language newspaper on-line
22.05.2019 - During this week, with Sunday's municipal elections in mind, we will be publishing one question and answer each day.
Part 1 of 4: What are your priorities for Puerto de la Cruz?
Our top priority, given the state of abandonment that can currently be observed by the public, is to improve the essential services for the town, such as the cleaning, the gardens and to ensure their correct maintenance. We will develop an urgent plan for asphalt works, since the condition of the pavements on the main streets as well as those of all urbanisations and neighbourhoods is completely deplorable. We will restore the image that Puerto de la Cruz has always had as a benchmark town and will commit to the high-quality essential public services of a town which is not only a tourist but also a residential area. Then we will continue with the major infrastructure works, which are equally essential and necessary for a town which expects – and we are convinced of this – a great future.
We will reactivate the economic development in order to create quality employment and we will turn Puerto de la Cruz into that town we all once knew and which we are missing, with its cultural life, commercial dynamism, etc.

22.05.2019 - A 27-year-old man and 35-year-old woman were recently arrested at a medical centre in Santa Cruz by a security guard, on suspicion of assault. The staff had asked for help because they had been aggressively attacked and threatened with death by the couple being held. The first guard to arrive was thrown to the ground by the woman. Her companion struck the one lying on the ground. Only when other security guards joined could the couple be overwhelmed and held until the police arrived. The injured security guard had to be sent to hospital for surgery. more...
21.05.2019 - The National Police from Puerto de la Cruz recently arrested four young men aged between 19 and 25 years who are accused of robbery. The officers were initially called for help by an Italian tourist who led them to her boyfriend, who had been beaten by the attackers. The couple said the four had followed them after a bar visit and then suddenly attacked them on the street. They pressed the man against the wall and beat him up to steal €50 in cash. Then they ran away towards the bus station. While the officers were still following the men to the bus station, a taxi driver alerted the emergency services and reported a brawl at the bus station. The four had attacked two young men there to steal their mobile phones. When they noticed the police presence, they fled and split into two pairs to make the pursuit more difficult. Eventually two of them were caught as they headed towards their own apartment, and the other two a little later when they went to that apartment to meet the others. The two stolen mobile phones were seized and returned to their rightful owners. more...

20.05.2019 - Last Friday morning, a concrete mixer in Garachico caused a stir. Repair work is currently being carried out on the access to the beach. The sea had hollowed out the wall, so repairs were recently started. The hole was to be filled with concrete. For this purpose, a truck with a full cement drum was parked on the pavement, directly above the beach, and from there, the concrete was to be poured downwards. But suddenly the pavement, which could not withstand the weight of the load, gave way and collapsed. The driver of the truck was very lucky and got away with a fright. Fortunately, the wall withstood the weight leaning against it and prevented the concrete mixer from falling. A special crane had to be brought in to pull the truck out. more...
