Mobile Information for Buenavista Residents
Over the next few weeks, the town hall in Buenavista del Norte, Tenerife will launch a new service via mobile phone that will improve communication of information about various events and initiatives promoted daily from the local corporation.
The service will be provided by sending text messages to phone users who subscribe to the system, also allowing them to distribute relevant information, targeted according to age, employment or place of residence within the district.
Similar systems are already in use in Garachico and Los Silos.
Good job I got myself a new mobile phone when I was in Icod de los Viños on Monday!
This is excellent news, because I have often missed fiestas, the irregularly scheduled Sunday Farmers' Markets and other local events, because, despite them being on the doorstep, there was no way to know when they would be taking place. Up until now, only when there have been sizeable events coming up, the town hall would send round a van with a loudhailer, but that requires that one is awake and has no other distractions on in the house and, even then, is most difficult to catch from here on this ridge.
If I actually know what is going on, this will give me not only more opportunities to go to events, but also record and photograph them for your enjoyment too.
