Ahhh.  As we just usually pop down there for a only few nights (3 or 4) to relax, its been the Sheraton Furteventura for us as a family, v quiet and relaxing.

Not been to Tenerife for a few years.

So they are starting to drill for oil of the coast? Thats not good for tourism is it, unless they are doing it out of sight?


According to Repsol, the platforms aren't visible from the coasts (bullshit, by the way. I can see them xD)

 

The best part is mocking Repsol's advertisements. Here's two examples:

 

 

"YOU CAN'T SEE A CRUISE AT 30KM FROM THE COAST.
OUR SHIPS WILL BE AT 50KM."

 

On where people replied "Ah yes, our main concern was seeing the ship. Thanks, Repsol", or "Sure, but aren't oil leaks visible, you bastards?"

 

There's also this one:

 

 

WHAT DOES CARIBE, BRASIL AND ITALY HAVE IN COMMON?

All great places to visit with their own prospecting schemes. Canary Islands have a huge opportunity no country hasn't taken.

 

Right reply reads as:

What does Caribe, Brasil and Italy have in common?

All these places have had enviromental catastrophes because of crude oil prospection. We won't allow this in the Canary Islands.

 

Also, that last advertisement mocks the goverment too. It reads as "RePPsol", where PP is the strongest political entity right now.
