Incapable of guarding a boat 100 meters from a Local Police station to give orders in the south of Gran Canaria. A replica ship of one of those used by Christopher Columbus in 1492, which is proven to have passed through Maspalomas, has highlighted that misery is not only represented in the capital by the obsolete shopping centers of Playa del Inglés but also by the abandoned historical heritage in the capital of the island.
The fact that in Las Palmas a boat occupied by homeless people caught fire has meant that in the south of Gran Canaria they have not had to endure the odious comparisons of the incapable place from which the decisions that affect tourism come. It had been used for 8 years by immigrants. The replica of Christopher Columbus' La Niña III caravel, which was located at the back of the Santa Catalina park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, burned this week. The extinguishing of the fire, which was carried out by firefighters from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, required 8.000 liters of water from firefighters and the Las Palmas Port Authority Police.

The replica of the boat was built in 1992 in Galicia according to the design and criteria of Captain Carlos Etayo, and was transferred this same year to Palos de La Frontera, in Huelva, from where it sailed to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to set sail for the Republic. Dominican. The caravel has remained in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria since 2000.
