Its our heritage!
Primary and secondary school children from Adeje and Arona, San Miguel and La Laguna took part in a number of activities recently under the Adeje “El Patrimonio es Nuestro” (Its our heritage) programme. Over eight hundred students in all visited a number of different emblematic sites in the borough, which aimed to show the younger generation the importance of cultural and historical heritage and – and with many of today’s students from a multi-cultural background, this introduction to their local heritage is very relevant indeed. There were talks on why its important to recognise and conserve local history and traditions, as well as the social, environmental and often economic benefits of such preservation.
The students visited the “Camino de la Virgen” walk from the town across the old mountain path to San Sebastain , the Convento de San Francisco, la Casa Fuerte (the town fort) and the Plaza España. English Time Adeje

Tenerife reinforces its presence on the Web
Tenerife is developing an intense promotion strategy “online” in some of its main markets. It has launched campaigns with holiday booking platforms such as Expedia, Flights, Logitravel, Lastminute.com or Canariasviaja.com, in addition to various portals in collaboration with the Norwegian airline and the German TUI channels.
Internet promotion is crucial to a destination, and this is one of the most important lines of work that we do in this area from the Cabildo, through Tourism of Tenerife, with the aim of consolidating the position of the island as leading vacation, explained the president Carlos Alonso. Among the highlights in conjunction with Expedia, one of the largest rental portal in the world (which include brands such as Hotels.com and Trivago), they have posted a 5 minute video that shows some of the main attractions of the island. tenerife.es
North’s new water power
A MUCH-NEEDED water system is being introduced to the north of Tenerife in a move which will help the El Rosario area. Mayor Escolástico Gil has this week signed off the contract, which will alleviate, in part, serious problems with the water supply every summer, which affects the municipality’s coast.
Specifically, 25,000 euros will be spent on improving the supply connection to the streets of Valdes, Bazan, Antequera and Raadazul’s Oquendo, where there have always been water problems. That’s because the sheer height of the area makes it difficult for water to be pumped into homes. Work begins in the next two weeks to extend the pipe, placing one of a larger diameter to increase the flow and pressure. However, this will be a minor task compared with another major project, which has already been agreed. This involves the construction of a new reservoir in Tabaiba Alta, with a holding capacity of 4,000 cubic metres. Work on this project should start before the end of the year. The Cabildo is preparing specifications to invite tenders for the job, in which over one million euros will be invested. canarian weekly
