“We are back on the streets! This time in tourist areas. Five months after the historic demonstrations of 20-A, politicians and institutions continue to support a predatory tourism model. They continue to promote unlimited growth, while the population continues to suffer the consequences: more roads, more hotels, more tourists, more destruction of ecosystems, more precarious work and more poverty. Their hypocrisy is evident: they talked a lot about “rethinking the model” but the problems have not stopped getting worse. They have not even been able to stop projects riddled with irregularities, such as Cuna del Alma, the Chira Soria power plant or the Hotel de La Tejita. For this reason, we ask all those who are aware of the damage suffered by our land to take to the streets on 20-O with more force than ever, to make history again and to make it clear that this has only just begun. We will not stop until we achieve the change that the Canary Islands need.”

Thank you! We have over 1,000 sponsors helping to highlight the geology of Puertito de Adeje in Tenerife. Thanks to the “Adopt a Rock” project by @igme1849 we are now a thousand voices helping to bring attention to its internationally valued geology. In Puertito, there is a site of geological interest (LIG 4049 ) from the Spanish National Inventory of Geological Sites of Interest, with a HIGH protection priority.

“The photo they used yesterday as the front page/the photo they could have used. Journalism? #CanariasTimeisLimited”

Some traditional media have used the first image provided to feed the narrative that the protests were aggressive/confrontational towards the holiday-makers.
