Buenavista to control coastal accesses
Buenavista town council has begun the process to obtain the administrative concession for the wharf in the Masca bay, one of the most visited places in the area. Currently, excursion boats use the wharf, generally to collect hikers who have walked down the Masca gorge, and, though the boats ply their trade for profit, the administrative coffers take no benefit. Plans are to charge for the use, with the moneys collected going towards the maintenance of the area: one of the most virgin and fragile in Tenerife.
In other news, plans are also afoot to control access to the area of Punta Teno, which is reached via Buenavista del Norte, with it's pretty lighthouse and spectacular views back to the Masca bay and Los Gigantes cliffs. Currently, there are signs up that say the road is closed, but, as we have discovered on more than one occasion, nobody takes the least bit of notice of them. Future plans are to prohibit access to private cars, other than those of workers, and to provide adequate, safe parking in the town of Buenavista itself with a public bus service to take visitors to the point.
