Teguise Council has stated that infrastructure such as roads, beaches and parking areas are all working normally again following Saturday’s flash floods.
Council workers, volunteers from local businesses and individuals all took part in a clean-up operation that completed the job in 72 hours, said the council. “All showed a commitment that went above and beyond normal work responsibilities.”
Tourist councillor Rita Hernández said that the sand on Playa de las Cucharas will be redistributed at the end of the month, when sunbeds are removed owing to the expiry of the contract.
Three hotels have had to close temporarily because of the flood, with the subsequent loss of 1,600 tourist beds. However, the floods only affected a relatively small area of eastern Costa Teguise and the rest of the resort is operating completely normally, while Lanzarote’s two other main tourist resorts were not affected by the rain at all.
