    SECTION 2 OF THE FIRST RAILWAY ON THE ISLAND OF GRAN CANARIA A challenge in underground engineering SENER is writing for Gran Canaria Railways (FGC) the Basic and Constructive Project of the second section of the line between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Maspalomas. This line, also designed in general terms by SENER also in joint venture with the insular La Roche Consulting company, is the first railway on the island with a planned investment of more than 1,300 million euros. The line runs along the eastern side of the island where the demographic and economic power are greater. It has a total length of 60 km and 9 stations among them we should bring out the three located in Las Palmas, the one at the airport, and the one on the main tourist area of the island, south of the line. The travel time is due to last 35 minutes. The section 2 whose project has been awarded for an amount of 1,620,165, 18 euros, is the most complex of the 7 in which the FGC has divided the bidding. It consists of 9 km in length which run entirely underground, 5 of them under the island’s capital. The section runs between San Telmo Station, main bus station in the city and future intermodal station, and Jinámar and it has another intermediate station: Hospitales. This station is key because it gives access to the largest hospital complex on the island.

Received: 4 September 2020; Accepted: 11 October 2020; Published: 22 October 2020 Abstract: The reclassification of accommodation for tourism, understood as the change of tourist category or classification in terms of accommodation activity, is put forward as one of the ways to increase competitiveness in any establishment. So, recent regulation on planning, renovation and modernization of Tourism in Canary Islands established the need to increase the classification of the accommodation offering by restoring degraded tourist areas and renovating different public and private infrastructures. Using a case study methodology in this paper, the characteristics of the rehabilitation process undertaken in different touristic establishments of the coast of Gran Canaria, are analyzed, more specifically in Maspalomas-Costa Canaria destination. Comparative analysis of these cases presenting it as a rehabilitation model that allowed it to re-join the market, benefiting from the urban incentives policies through the upgrading strategy, increasing the quality and quantity of the services offered.

On this, the second ‘Go Slow’ tour, we were able to enjoy some of the best of the island’s rugged volcanic scenery, appreciating the contrasts between the different habitats such as the bird- and flower-rich Laurel forest and the dramatic ravines, and the bare rain-starved slopes of the south. The sunset from the edge of the Big Caldera in the central mountains, the wonderful boat trip, with our close encounters with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins and Cory’s Shearwater, the Gran Canarian Blue Chaffinch and the vagrant Abyssinian Roller, the echoes of past cultures in the caves of Guayadeque, and the beauty of the Botanic Garden with its Giant Lizards were just some of the many highlights. There was also time to relax and enjoy the pools in our delightful hotel overlooking the sea. Good weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, delicious food and great company all made for an excellent week.

  • Proceso Histórico De Firgas (Gran Canaria)

    Proceso Histórico De Firgas (Gran Canaria)

    PROCESO HISTÓRICO DE FIRGAS (GRAN CANARIA): TERRITORIO Y ARQUITECTURA, SIGLOS XV-XX Juan Sebastián López García Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Resumen Después de la conquista de Gran Canaria (1483) se produce una nueva organización del territorio insular, donde los repartimientos de tierras y la introducción del cultivo de la caña de azúcar fueron fundamentales. Firgas posee en el siglo xvi un importante ingenio azucarero, propiedad de Tomás Rodríguez de Palenzuela, quien también funda la ermita de San Juan de Ortega. En el siglo xvii se construye el convento dominico, dentro de la jurisdicción eclesiástica de San Juan de Arucas, a la cual perteneció Firgas hasta el siglo xix. Otros cambios importantes en el territorio son la creación del municipio en 1835 y la erección de la parroquia de San Roque en 1844. En su proceso histórico, Firgas ha tenido la siguiente secuencia: núcleo azucarero de escaso desarrollo, núcleo conventual no parroquial, cabecera municipal no parroquial y cabecera municipal y parroquial. Palabras clave: núcleo azucarero, convento dominico, territorio insular, Firgas, Gran Canaria. Abstract «The historical process of Firgas (Gran Canaria): territory and architecture between the 101 fifteenth and the twentieth centuries». After the conquest of Gran Canaria (1483) a new organization of the territory of the island takes place, in which the distribution of land amongst the conquerors and the introduction of sugarcane cultivation were fundamen- tal. Firgas was in the fifteenth century the location of an important sugar mill («ingenio azucarero») owned by Tomás Rodriguez de Palenzuela, who also founded the chapel of San Juan de Ortega.
