Canary Islands "Arm" Fiestas to allow noise
After all of the fuss over noise objections earlier and, which reached the international media far and wide as it looked as if Carnaval events might be banned from the streets of Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz, at night, the Canary Island Parliament took the wise precaution this week, of "armouring" popular and local fiestas and, those declared as being of national and international interest, against future attacks.
The proposal to exempt them was carried unanimously.
During such fiestas, not just in the Tenerife capital, but throughout the Canary Islands, in future, the rules over noise become provisionally suspended.
Canarias «blinda» sus fiestas con una norma que permite los ruidos
(One logical and interesting comment that has been made this week, is that those complaining residents had to have known that the there was a Carnaval in Santa Cruz (it's been going for 200 years or so), before they bought their apartments there.)
