The previous phrase was said this week by the foreign businesswoman Marinella Giorgi, who lives in a tourist area, contrary to what the norm should say in the south of Gran Canaria: "I bought here to live" and the complex is called Las Palmas, like It can not be any other way. How did it occur to you to live in a tourist area as if the Canary Islands were Gamibia or Somalia? This is what happens when citizens are allowed to reside in a tourist area. Someone from Las Palmas would sell her the dream of living next to the Maspalomas Dunes and now she asks for the sand to be removed from her house.
The demonstrations at Canarias 7 by Marinella Giorgi pointing out that "this is terrible, the sand is eating us and no one is helping us" has generated outrage because users wonder why there are people living there. One of the complexes sells nights on Airbnb, breaking the destination unit discipline, ensuring: "the bungalow is located on the first line of the Maspalomas dunes and offers stunning views over the natural reserve of the dunes and the sea." The arena is reclaiming what is its own and those who bought land are now asking the public sector for help when that land was public at the time.
In their day they were apartments that bordered the Special Natural Reserve but some use them as housing, degrading the environment and the tourism sector. The sand has buried gardens, roofs and terraces, and has made their swimming pools unusable. The owners in the tourist area have called themselves "neighbors." "For a year now the sand has destroyed our garden, it has blocked all of our pipes, and here we continue, without solutions; a small dune is already forming in one corner of the complex," a community member.
