The Alberque Juvenil in La Santa has been closed since 2008. The Cabildo of Lanzarote have published an announcement in the Las Palmas Official Gazette this week, opening a tender process to manage this youth hostel for the next 10 years.
The tender to manage the operation of the youth hostel in La Santa was published on Wednesday 15th May amounting to 360,000 euros for a 10 year management period. Re-opening of this centre is a priority for Migdalia Machín, the councillor for youth at the Cabildo, who commented that this youth centre offers a complementary alternative for practice of sports, environmental, educational and recreation for youths.
Ensuring that this youth centre in Tinajo becomes fully operational again was one of the legislation commitments made by Pedro San Ginés, the president of Lanzarote.
The Alberque Juvenil in La Santa has a capacity for 120 places with bedrooms, dining room, library, multipurpose rooms and a sports field.
