Here are my favourites. I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts. It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time — this should be banned. On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all. We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels. The beach was too sandy. We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white. There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad. Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women. We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros from a street trader, only to find out they were fake. No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled. It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England, it only took the Americans three hours to get home. I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller. The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation.' We're trainee hairdressers — will we be OK staying there? We had to queue outside with no air conditioning. I was bitten by a mosquito, no-one said they could bite. Our beach towels got washed away as nobody warned us that the beach could flood, even W O when it hadn’t rained. 6 DISCOVERY JEEP SAFARI, Corralejo, Mob/WhatsApp +34 699 465 312 www.corralejo-excursions.com [email protected] Come and see Tam & Team in Cordon Blue The chill out Bistro Bar with stunning sea views Open 7 days a week 10.00am - 5.30pm TuesdayOpen, Thursday 7 days a & week Friday 10.00amto 9.30pm FabulousFabulous Home Home Cooked Cooked Food Food FullFull English English Br eakfastBreakfast & a Menu with a Difference & a Menu with a Difference WO See NºSee 8 Nºon 8 theon the Centre Centre Map Map 7 What’s n ? and Pres Corralejo All the best Trips Create your Holiday Memories with all the best excursions in one place it couldn’t be easier to get information or book your favourite trips or excursions www.corralejo-excursions.com [email protected] - +34 699 456 312 www.facebook.com/Corralejo.Excursions I am also going to be available part-time in Books, Cards & Things or I can come to you!!

  • On the Beach Group Plc
    Case Study – On The Beach Group Plc On the Beach Group plc is a UK-based travel retailer specialising in short and medium haul ‘Flight + Hotel’ holidays to. Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company was founded by Simon Cooper, who began his career in the travel industry while attending university, when he founded a ski holiday company called On the Piste. He geared the business toward groups of students wanting to go on budget-friendly ski holidays to the French Alps by coach. Meanwhile, in 2004, Cooper started working on a new venture, On the Beach. When TUI Groups Thompson (since renamed TUI UK) purchased On the Piste in 2008, Cooper then directed his full attention to his new platform. In 2007, private equity investor Livingbridge acquired a majority stake in the company for £36 million. In 2008, the company relocated to larger premises at Spectrum House on Towers Business Park in Didsbury, Manchester to house additional employees. In 2011 On the Beach expanded further by acquiring Resort Taxis out of administration for £10,000 to assist with transporting holidaymakers in its most popular destinations of Egypt, Turkey, The Balearics, The Canaries mainland Spain, Greece and The Algarve. The Resort Taxi arm was later re- branded into On the Beach Transfers in 2012. The company also continued to build on its services by founding On the Beach Beds in 2011. The self-contracted hotel organisation allowed On the Beach to contract directly with hotels, attempting to secure better rates for their customers and increase their market advantage.

MARÍA JOSÉ SANCHÉZ GARCÍA LOS DIRECTORES EL TESINADO Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 11 de julio de 2016 ABSTRACT Understanding coastal dune field evolution is a challenge because of their complex dynamic nature. This work has been carried out by means of photointerpretation of 5 orthophotos covering the period 1994-2014. A geographical information system has been developed, including information of the three geomorphological landforms (sand sheets, dune areas, and deflation surfaces) present in the area, as well two additional information layers (vegetation and artificial structures) that interact with the previous ones. The GIS also includes information of the dune crests movement over the same period, which has been correlated with gust wind data. Average migration rates are 8 m/y in the S-SSE direction. Geomorphological evolution indicates that dune areas are decreasing in the north and increasing in the south, as a result of the southward displacement of the mobile dunes. The opposite patter is found for the sand sheet unit. On the other hand, both vegetation and deflation surfaces shows a continuous increment in surface coverage, which in both cases is explained as a result of the lack of sediment supply into the dune system.

  • Los Gentilicios En Fuerteventura: Causas De Su Escasez Y Criterios Para Remediarla
    LOS GENTILICIOS EN FUERTEVENTURA: CAUSAS DE SU ESCASEZ Y CRITERIOS PARA REMEDIARLA Marcial Morera Universidad de La Laguna [email protected] RESUMEN En la isla canaria de Fuerteventura, solamente la isla y su antigua capital, Santa María de Betan- curia, disponen de denominaciones gentilicias propias, en tanto que el resto de sus pueblos carecen enteramente de ellas. Las razones de semejante deficiencia son ciertamente diversas: el tradicional régimen señorial de la isla, su crónica penuria económica y la escasa población que ha tenido siempre este trozo de tierra insular a lo largo de todos los tiempos. PALABRAS CLAVE : Lingüística, semántica, gramática, lexicología e historia. ABSTRACT «Demonyms in Fuerteventura: Causes for its Paucity and Criteria to solve the problem». In the Canarian island of Fuerteventura, just the island and its ancient capital, Santa María de Betancuria, have their own demonyms or family names, while the rest of the villages lack it. The reasons for such a deficiency are diverse: the traditional feudal estate of this Canarian island, its chronic economic penury and the scarce population that it has had along history . 3 KEY WORDS : Linguistics, Semantics, Grammar, Morphology and History. 7 3 2 9 3 - De acuerdo con los procedimientos morfológicos de la lengua española, a 3 7 3 todos los pueblos del mundo, y hasta a los del extramundo (piénsese en las denomi - .

  • 2019 ICC Report
    THE Beach AND BEYOND 2019 Report FIGHTING Ocean PlasticsIN ALL PLACES WASHINGTON, D.C., USA GHANA ARIZONA, USA VIETNAM A MESSAGE FROM Ocean Conservancy’s CEO If there’s one thing all superheroes have in common, it’s that they wear some kind of costume to signal that they’re ready for the fight ahead — a cape or armor, a mask or special amulets. The same can be said of real life heroes, too. Doctors suit up to go into surgery, firefighters suit up before entering blazing buildings, just to name a few. People suit up to get things done, to change the world, to take on problems of epic scale. Unfortunately, ocean plastic is one such problem. An estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year. That’s the equivalent of one dump truck full of plastic every minute, every hour, every day going into the ocean. Ocean plastic doesn’t just pollute our beaches and coastlines; it also impacts more than 800 species of marine life. And with plastic showing up in places as remote as Arctic ice and flowing into rivers hundreds of miles before reaching the ocean, we can’t just focus on the beach. We have to fight ocean plastic on the beach … and beyond. That’s why, in 2018, we urged people all over the world to “Suit Up to Clean Up” and join Ocean Conservancy’s 33rd annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC). More than 1 million volunteers heard our call and headed to their local beach, river or lake; rolled up their sleeves; and picked up trash — approximately 23 million pounds of it in just one day.

In turn, they experience high human pressure from touristic development. This paper analyzes the impact of urban-touristic development in four aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canaries: Maspalomas, Corralejo, Lambra and Jable Sur. Spatial and surface change variables related to vegetation and geomorphology are obtained by photo-interpretation of historical aerial photography and current orthophotos. Results indicate that systems affected by urban-touristic development have witnessed significant environmental change. In contrast, the systems not impacted by building and construction of infrastructure show minor changes.
