It has not been a good day for the emergency services in Lanzarote. It’s extremely rare to report a life threatening incident but today two people lost their life in Lanzarote and a third is seriously ill.

Early this morning a man was killed when he was driving his scooter in Puerto del Carmen, this afternoon a surfer suffered serious head injury in Costa Teguise and a young girl died on a beach in Arrieta.

A sad day indeed for youths enjoying their summer holidays in Lanzarote. There’s not much more information at the moment, other than the emergency notices.

Motorist

A 27 year old male motorcyclist died due to his serious injuries after hitting a lamppost on Calle Barqueta in Puerto del Carmen at 02:33 this morning. The police had cordoned off Calle Chaveto at the intersection with Calle Barqueta this morning as part of their investigation into the accident.

Surfer

A 22 year old surfer was injured after hitting his head on his board at 13:37 in La Mareta, Costa Teguise this afternoon, he was transferred to the general hospital Doctor José Molina in Arrecife initially, but then onto to Hospital Doctor Negrin in Gran Canaria at 16:34 by air ambulance after his condition worsened.

Girl

The saddest incident by far was that of a 6 year old girl who drowned on Playa La Garita in Arrieta. Emergency services were alerted at 15:10 and worked for an hour an a half trying to revive her on the beach when she was pronounced dead by medical personnel at the scene.

Our condolences to the families and friends of those involved.

As planned the non grata declaration concerning Repsol, Woodside & RWE was presented during the Plenary meeting for the Cabildo of Lanzarote on Friday

The Cabildo of Lanzarote agreed to support the citizens petition, declaring the social rejection of these multinational companies, who are not welcome in Lanzarote. The “Manifesto over the social responsibility of the multinational oil companies that promote projects in Canarian waters” will now be forwarded by the councils to the head of these three companies, who have a duty to listen and respond to this local opposition regarding their project. Just over 3,000 original signatures were collected within a 2 week period. Over 70,000 signatures have been collected since March 2012, however these are spread between different paper and digital campaigns.

This week a new international website www.savecanarias.org was launched, it’s only objective is to consolidate all of these signatures and more, into one single petition. The website is simply a copy of the petition, which will be available in 43 different languages, with a space to enter your name, email address and country. Then a sharing button so you can tell your friends.

At the time of publishing this article 2,289 people had signed the new petition, it only takes a couple of seconds to complete here: Save Canarias

There is a hashtag #savecanarias and the slogan “working together to save the Canary Islands”.

Today the Ministry of Industry from the Spanish Government has announced in the Official Gazette (BOE-B-2013-29831) that the Environmental Impact Study regarding the Repsol project has been made available to view in Gran Canaria. Not on the islands of Lanzarote or Fuerteventura who are directly affected by this project, requiring officials and public from these islands to travel, if they wish to learn of the impact the drilling could have on our environment. The document is over 1,000 pages long and available to view between the hours of 09:00 – 14:00. President of Lanzarote’s Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés stated that the situation “is intolerable and shows a new lack of respect by the Spanish State for the Canarian population.”

The announcement confirms that the project is authorised to drill in six different locations specifying depths of 2,750, 3,500 (2 wells), 3,650, 6,370 and 6,800 metres deep.

The hop on hop off bus service for tourists through Lanzarote Vision has been suspended indefinitely.

We thought this company offered a fantastic service for tourists, who either didn’t want to hire a car or join in a fixed group tour of the island.

The company which is part of the TUI group, has decided to withdraw their service due to low demand.

Do you remember the flashmob in Playa Blanca last year?

This year it will be even bigger! The challenge is to reach 200 people, which would be double the amount of participants from last year.

Anyone interested in learning the choreography is invited to attend the rehearsal this Saturday, 10th of August at 11am at the Aerodance Studio which is located in the Sun Tropical Island Hotel.

"It will be an easy and fun routine" says Yolanda the organiser.

The day of the flashmob itself is being kept a secret, even for the participants, which will be notified of the details shortly before the actual performance. This is to ensure the surprise element, of course. If you want to be in on it, join in! And the rest of you, if you are around Playa Blanca, keep alert. There could be a flashmob going near you soon!

The above is a video of the first flashmob which was performed on Playa Dorada in Playa Blanca.

For more information, you can contact Yolanda on Facebook or by calling 637 431 563.

The Cabildo of Lanzarote congratulated local companies who were distinguished at Agrocanarias 2013.

Bodegas Reymar won a gold medal (Medalla de Oro de Agrocanarias) in the sweet wine category for their moscatel Los Perdomos, cosecha de 2012.

Finca de Uga won the prize for the Best Image and Presentation (Mejor Imagen y Presentación 2013) for their Secreto del Majo cheese and a gold medal (Medalla de Oro de Agrocanarias) for the category queso curado de mezcla.

At a separate event, Bodegas Stratvs won 'Alimentos de España al Mejor Vino 2013' for their Stratvs Moscatel licor 2006.

President, Pedro San Ginés congratulated the Lanzarote wine and cheese makers on behalf of the corporation of their success and national recognition, highlighting the excellent production and marketing of these Spanish food products. Both the president and Francisco Fabelo, the Minister for Agriculture & Livestock in Lanzarote were pleased that once again the island receives the distinctions deserved in these regional and national events, demonstrating the professionalism of a growing industry, driven each day to produce high quality products from our earth. In turn this contributes to sustaining the landscape and an important part of the island’s economy.

The Cabildo have agreed a temporary solution to allow the campsite at Papagayo to open for 45 days from the 15th August.

The decision was unanimously agreed at a special plenary session to approve the cooperation agreement between the island and Yaiza councils. Tragsa will oversee the operation of the campsite during this period including controlling the entrance, monitoring service, cleaning and a lifeguard on the beach.

Campsite fees have been set at€7 per day for caravans / motorhomes and €4 per day for tents.

The President of the Cabildo, Pedro San Ginés explained that this temporary solution was partially in response to a demand from important citizens with deep rooted traditions to practise the activity of camping. However this is only a provisional solution, the Cabildo of Lanzarote will work towards a  long term solution to define sites on the island plan that can be approved for camping in the future.

Upon approval of the agreement by the corporation and forthcoming publication in the Official Gazette, campers will be able to solicit their inscription for a camping pitch at the Cabildo during the next few days.

The motoring laws vary here in Spain from some other European countries, and we’ve had some questions recently about the things you must carry in your car in Spain at all times.

So here we go:

• You should have the car papers on board – both the Ficha Technica and Permiso de Circulacion
• You must have your insurance documents and also the receipt to show the most recent payment has been made
• You need a bulb kit, so that if a bulb blows you can replace it immediately
• You should have your driving licence with you, and some form of photo ID
• Obviously the car (if applicable) must have a current ITV with the sticker affixed to the windscreen
• You should have two warning triangles (one to place at the front and one at the back of the car) for breakdowns
• There should be two fluorescent jackets on board to wear if you breakdown
• If the driver wears glasses, there should be a spare pair available in case you break them

It’s also worth remembering that you cannot tow a car on Spanish roads. If you do break down on the road, you must call a “Grua” or two truck. Most insurance policies include covering the cost of towing your car home or to a garage.

Also, it’s common practice for Spanish Police to stop cars randomly to check documents – no offence needs to have been committed. As long as you have everything you should, you’ll be on your way within a few moments.

Have we missed anything?

A 49 year old British woman drowned on the beach at Famara yesterday afternoon.

The 112 call was placed at 15:39 informing the emergency services that a swimmer had been pulled out of the water in a state of cardiac arrest after drowning. No further details have been released as to her identity at this time.

Playa de Famara is a stunning beach but dangerous one. We visited this beach on Wednesday with family who were here on holiday and we couldn’t stress the importance enough of staying within standing depth. This is not a beach for swimming off, only for paddle or surfing as it’s renown for it’s rip tide. The beach was really busy by late afternoon, a lifeguard was constantly blowing his whistle to warn people to come back in towards the beach. He was working really hard, pacing up and down through the shallows, with his fins and float at the ready, should anyone need assistance.

It’s not just tourists who get caught out on this beach, the last death was a British resident who would have been aware of the dangers. One of the difficulties is how to let visitors know that extreme caution is required, there are already red flags flying constantly. Playa de Famara stretches for 5 km and there is only one lifeguard station. Is there is a requirement for more to adequately cover this notorious beach? It would also be prudent to erect a few more information boards on the popular entrances to the beach warning of the dangers.

Sadly this lady isn’t the first casualty of the summer holidays to drown in Lanzarote. Tragically, we lost a 6 year old resident girl on Playa de la Garita in Arrieta on the 30th July, who drowned whilst swimming unsupervised, on a beach without lifeguards in the north of the island.

A last minute agreement was reached on Wednesday to prevent the indefinite strike action planned in the Tourist Centres of Lanzarote from Thursday 15th August.

A negotiation schedule has been agreed between the management of the Centros Turísticos and unions starting from the 10th September until the 5th November. The agreement reached after a long day of negotiations, was ratified by the 290 employees on Wednesday evening.

Earlier in the week the Confederación Empresarial de Lanzarote,  Asolan & Aetur had collectively urged unions representing the workers and Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism (CACT) to find the best negotiators to close a strong and acceptable agreement, as the strike was not an option to resolve the real problem.

The workers felt strike action was necessary to address the agreement from July 2010, when the parties had agreed flexible labour by extending working hours, splitting shifts and geographical locations as well as a 5% cut in wages imposed by the central government.

Had the strike gone ahead it would have affected  the Mirador del Río, Cueva de los Verdes, Jameos del Agua, Jardín de Cactus, Castillo de San José, Monumento al Campesino and the Montañas del Fuego.

Llifeguards on Playa Grande in Puerto del Carmen recovered the body of a 72 year old man from the sea yesterday, less than a week since a life was lost on Playa Famara.

A Cruz Roja lifeguard alerted the emergency services at 15:15 informing 112 that they were practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a German man, aged 72 who had been rescued from the sea with symptoms of drowning on the beach by the Fariones. Despite medical attention received from the lifeguards, a doctor and nurse who attended from the Centro de Salud in Puerto del Carmen, and personnel from Servicio de Urgencias Canario, the man remained in cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The identity of the lady who drowned on Playa Famara last week has since been confirmed as Nikki Bate from Barrow in East Lancashire.  According to an article in the Daily Mail yesterday, husband Anthony praised the lifeguard’s efforts to save Nikki, who drowned in front of their three children after panicking in the rough sea.

Playa Grande is normally a safe beach for swimming, although Ciarán Brown lost his life on this beach in January when he swam despite the red flag warnings at the time.

We are stunned to hear of another death on one of Lanzarote’s beaches, this time a diver on Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen.

The emergency services were alerted to a diver in difficulty at 15:16 this afternoon. One of the tourist attraction boats at the harbour by Playa Chica transported the diver back to shore, where he was treated for cardiac arrest by Emerlan personnel, until medics from Servicio de Urgencias Canario (SUC) arrived at the scene. Unfortunately the 61 year old man who is reported to be an Irish resident could not be resuscitated.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of not just this latest incident, but all three of the accidental deaths reported on our beaches within the last week.

The Consortium of Security and Emergencies for Lanzarote have released a list of recommendations for use on the island’s beaches.

This list of precautionary safety measures includes information on how to deal with strong currents and waves, as well as how to sunbathe safely and what to avoid when practising sports such as fishing or diving. The following precautionary measures have been drafted, so that users can enjoy the beaches in Lanzarote safely and avoid unpleasant situations.

• Never bathe in secluded beaches or that you do not know, because there may be local eddies.

• Avoid swimming on beaches displaying Red Flags or in areas with strong surf and undertow or where there is a lack of surveillance and rescue services

• Avoid sports and water sports practices in the areas affected by a swell and don’t camp on the beach when there is an alert for the sea

• If you notice some unusual waves do not stay near the sea, or approach when it calms down suddenly

• If you see other people in dangerous places, warn them of the danger

• If you are being dragged out to sea by the waves, stay calm, do not try to swim against the current. In general coastal currents lose intensity in other areas and that is when you should swim

• If you are on the shore and see that someone has fallen into water, try to give them a rope or object that floats for them to hold on to and call 112 or 080 for CECOES immediately

• Protect yourself from the sun and heat

• Never leave children or elderly unattended

• Before swimming look at the flag signals on the beach, a red flag indicates swimming is prohibited, yellow is to take caution and green confirms that conditions are good for swimming. Even if the reason for swimming being prohibited is not apparent, respect the rules

• If you want to swim, do it parallel to the shore, so that you don’t leave the swimming zone

• Beware of inflatables and floats that can carry you on the current without noticing

• Avoid swimming after a heavy meal. Enter the water slowly and let your body adjust to the thermal contrast

• Respect areas of the beach sectioned off for other activities as you could be hit by a board, jet ski etc.

• Do not expose yourself to the sun too long, and always use sunscreen

• Avoid peak sunlight hours (12.00  - 16:00) with children it is best to go to the beach from 17.00

• Beware of rising tides

• Do not dive in head first without knowing the depth of the water or if there are rocks in the area

• Use appropriate footwear for walking on rocks and be very careful with sea urchins

• Note the possible presence of jellyfish and contact CECOES on 112 or 080

• If you practice water sports, always respect the relevant legislation and comply with the safety standards

• Never practice your sport alone and notify your friends and family of where you are going and your expected time of return

• Before going out to sea, note the weather, the wind and sea can change abruptly on the coast. Ask the beach surveillance for advice if you have any questions

• If you are in practising activities at sea such as windsurfing, fishing, etc. Research the tides and do not venture into places where you do not know the currents

• Never go into the sea after sunset. If a problem arises, it will be harder to find you in the dark

• Always wear brightly coloured clothing so that you will be easily spotted

• Use life jackets.

• Avoid fishing from dangerous places and be aware of any abrupt changes to the sea so that you are not swept into it

• If you practice diving, always include a knife in your equipment and signal your presence with a buoy

• Know your limits and do not exceed them

• If you encounter problems in the water, try not to get separated from your boat and communicate your location

• ALWAYS KEEP CALM. Panicking will make you more vulnerable

• Never swim against the current, let yourself go with the flow and wait until it loses intensity. Move quickly to where the waves break and wait for help

• If you see someone in the sea in trouble, or a friend / family member has not returned after a delay call 112 or 080 immediately

• Do not try to save anyone unless you are an expert in water rescue, try to pass the person a float and call 112 or 080

Work may have started on the promenade around Playa Las Cucharas in Costa Teguise at the beginning of February, but this long awaited project is not yet complete.

The notice board relating to the work on the Paseo Marítimo states a finish date of March 2013, realistically that was not going to be the case after the start was delayed for three months.

We walked the promenade last week, it’s really starting to take shape now, thankfully the surface underfoot has been concreted flat, although the top coat still has to be laid along most of it. The bridge over the barranco by the Las Cucharas shopping centre has finally re-opened, saving the need for pedestrians to pick their way across the storm drain.

The long suffering bars and restaurants now have their tiled terrace areas. Some businesses have added glass windbreaks, which has smartened up the look along the front as well as offering sheltered seating.

Some lovely seating areas have been included in the new promenade with views across the bay.

The top layer of tiny stones has started at the harbour end of the beach, giving a glimpse of what the finished promenade should look like. Teguise council expected the work to take around four months, so that it was finished ahead of the peak summer season. The €386,158.98 project was awarded to Cedaga S.L.

The paleontologist team led by Antonio Sánchez Marco have discovered a new example of a fossilised egg near Famara, during their fourth season in Lanzarote.

The latest egg is in excellent condition and was found in Valle Grande, increasing the number of eggs now found on the island to seven. What’s not known is how these ancient ancestors of the ostrich family came to be extinct on the island. Experts have been working since 2010 excavating sites along the risco from Órzola to Famara to establish more information about these birds who lived in Lanzarote from 5 to 6 million years ago. Although in good condition, this latest egg is also hollow without an embryo, like the previous ones found.

During the fourth season of excavations directed by Dr Sánchez Marco from the Instituto Catalán de Paleontología Miquel Crusafont, the team extended their radius of investigation to discover this egg, but it still does not throw any light on the questions as to how these giant birds arrived here, how they lived and why they disappeared.

Evidence discovered over previous excavations carried out during 2010, 2011 & 2012 have allowed experts to discard the theory that Lanzarote was temporarily connected to the African continent. The focus this year was to return to the two sites at Valle Grande (Famara) and Valle Chico (Órzola) to date the basalt layers both on the interior of the Risco de Famara and the exterior of Fuente de Gusa which has not been possible before due to a lack of funds. This data is expected to clarify the chronological and stratigraphic correlation and was the missing information before results could be published in journals to a wider audience.

Much of this puzzle remains to be answered, as a skeleton from one of these birds has not yet been found. The team are widening their search for similar stratigraphic levels in other parts of the island, to see if there are biological traces in the layers of sediment, which could explain how the birds lived, what they ate and above all, what caused their extinction.

Dr Antonio Sánchez Marco also held a conference in Haría this month about the work the team has completed to date and their conclusions, which was organised by the  Área de Patrimonio del Cabildo de Lanzarote. Plus a guided tour of Valle Chico, which proved to be very popular.

Turismo Lanzarote and British Airways came up with an original joint promotion to celebrate the airlines route between London Gatwick and Arrecife over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Two hundred and forty two people attended the event in Brighton last weekend, which gave them a taste of Lanzarote whilst suspended from one hundred metres high. The Sociedad de Promoción Exterior de Lanzarote (SPEL) for tourism promotion outside of Lanzarote organised the event with British Airways which was entitled BA Beachside. Members of the public were invited into a lounge area on the beach at Hove where they could relax with games and a DJ.

Visitors were invited to select a stick of rock, some of the candy included a special dinner invitation. Twenty two winners at a time were invited to take a seat on a special flight where the dining table was suspended at 100 metres over the beach. British Airways ambassadors then served a tasting platter of typical dishes from Lanzarote including our wrinkly potatoes with mojo, Canarian stew and cheeses.

As you might imagine, the promotion had a major impact on social networks as people shared their experience and photos using the hashtag #BABeachside on Twitter and Facebook.

Luis Arráez, on behalf of Tourism at the Cabildo highlighted the positive impact of this kind of promotional activity in mature markets like the UK and cities like London where British Airways is based. The route between London Gatwick and Lanzarote has been operational since 31st March 2013.

Héctor Fernández Manchado on behalf of SPEL explained that this event was part of the joint marketing campaign with British Airways to promote the flight connection between the UK and Lanzarote with two flights a week on Thursday and Sunday.

Other destinations such as Rome , Saint Lucia , Morocco , Saint Kitts and Mexico , also participated in the promotion with the British Company.

In the last couple of weeks Sands Beach Resort in Costa Teguise have been host to the synchronized swimming camp “Campus CanariaSincro” which was led by Olympic and World Champion medallist Thaïs Henriquez. Eleven students took part in the ten day training programme.

Sands Beach was the perfect location for the CanariaSincro camp with their new 25 metre pool on Plaza Verde providing perfect training facilities for the group. When not training, the swimmers enjoyed excursions of Lanzarote and Graciosa.

To celebrate the end of their visit, the CanariaSincro camp put on a public exhibition to show what they had learnt over the last ten days. The exhibition showed off the great skill and technical ability of the students, as they performed individually and in groups.

The exhibition ended with a performance by Thaïs Henriquez.

Sands Beach have developed a sports active brand for their hotel, which has been very successful at attracting professional sports teams and athletes to the holiday resort, which is also extremely popular for family holidays in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote.
