With bankrupt shopping centers, a city turned upside down by a transportation project that never ends, lost cruise passengers, uncontrolled skateboards, burned historical ships and with squatters since May 2023: Las Palmas wants more and is approaching Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas to try take away their tourists with that tourist product that includes the uncleaned Las Canteras beach, without a blue flag and without security, as the neighbors denounce. The friendly city that they sell against Maspalomas and the rest of the south of Gran Canaria barely exists except when there are normal people in Escaleritas, Schamann or Los Giles, areas traditionally discriminated against in local public spending in the capital of Gran Canaria that its authorities call "upper zone".
Thus, the capital's posh people have launched a promotional campaign no less than during the high tourism season so that tourists from the south of Gran Canaria, who have a repetition rate of 71% according to official data and therefore do not have a fool's hair, has come out of his anesthetic glanders to promote at Christmas the promotional image of the Las Canteras Sand Nativity Scene, where there are problems with bad odors in its vicinity because there are restaurants that throw the oil from their kitchens into the sea, according to complaints from neighbors of La Isleta.
A spokesperson for Las Palmas said in a statement that the measure is to "inspire tourists" and "encourage them to visit the capital." The campaign involves the use of 30 urban advertising supports with the promotional poster of the Sand Nativity Scene of Las Palmas in the tourist area of southern Gran Canaria, in spaces "as emblematic" as Annex II of Playa del Inglés, Paseo Costa Canaria, Paseo of Meloneras, Charca de Maspalomas, Avenida de Italia, Avenida de Tirajana, Alféreces Provisionales and Parque Tropical, among other areas.
