Families visiting Tenerife's resort of Los Cristianos tuck into their paellas, steins of beer and piles of ice cream, mainly oblivious to the wretched boatload of African immigrants being escorted into the harbour by the Coastguard.

An interesting report, written by Dominic Bailey in Tenerife for the BBC. It shows the mixed reactions and attitudes of locals, that police think there is more "going on" at sea, because immigrants don't always arrive with signs of a 10-Day journey and the incredible fact that emergency tents of the Red Cross are taken down between landings. It's as if they want to pretend they do not exist.
