Gran Canaria: New rules for holidaymakers - intimities now expensive!

Agaete, Spanien - In Gran Canaria, a popular holiday destination, a new coastal regulation comes into force that regulates the behavior of tourists in the Agaete coastal region in the northwest of the island. This measure aims to organize the use of the beaches and promenades and prevent inappropriate behavior. The new regulation prohibits intimate activities in water, bathing areas and other public coastal areas. These changes were both decided by the municipality of Agaete and for the first time byderwesten.dereported.

The sanctions for violations can differ significantly, with fines between 30 and 3,000 euros being imposed. The severity of the offense decides on the amount of the fine. However, holding hands and kissing are still allowed, while sexual acts in water or on bathing zones are strictly prohibited.

Additional rules for an orderly visit to the beach

A large number of other rules accompany these new provisions. Smoking on beaches and their access is now prohibited. Playing music on sun loungers or in the immediate vicinity of beach access was also prohibited. Conventional parasols are no longer permitted; Instead, only stable constructions may be used that are safe even in strong winds. Camping or camping near the beach is prohibited all year round.

Visitors must also be prepared for reserving the berths and blocking access routes. The use of public facilities such as showers or foot washing stations is restricted, whereby washing with soap or shampoo is prohibited. Fishing with rods is not allowed within a radius of 150 meters around bathing areas and near divers.

Baths and pets

Bathing bathing is generally allowed, but there is also an exception here: this is not permitted on the beaches El Risco, Las Nieves and in the natural pools of Las Salinas. Pets may be carried in the public coastal area, but must be leashed and must not go into the water in the bathing zones mentioned.

These regulations are in the context of increasing tightening the regulations for tourists, including on other popular holiday destinations such as Mallorca. In the hope of promoting respectful and orderly coexistence, these measures are now in force and are likely to have a significant impact on the stays of many vacationers in Gran Canaria.
