Environmental awareness Tenerife Puerto de la Cruz. What about it?

How copy legally

You need Tenerife holidays to see environmental awareness or the lack of it.
What really goes on at grass roots is not always noticed by Media and press.

Puerto de la Cruz has a vibrant art community with Spanish artists. Most of them are concerned about the environment. Hence, the oldest Tenerife resort cares about the environment. This will have an impact on Tenerife culture.

By the way, the town of El Puerto has all the reasons to be proud of its Puerto de la Cruz culture.

The location of this street art also also speaks for itself.
The hamlet Punta Brava is located at one of most vulnerable spots of Tenerife coast. Ferocious waves beat against it often. This is the reason for its name which translates into Brave Point. You may bet that locals there have utmost environmental awareness.

The Punta Brava is one of biggest environmental problems of Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands.

This poses grave head aches to their owners as well as to the economy.

Punta Brava hamlet houses cannot be sold:

Puerto de la Cruz issued a degree that none of the houses may change owners by sales. Their inhabitants have the right to stay in them, as long as they live. Obviously, inheritance is a no brainer with such properties.

It must be mentioned that many of those buildings with sea view are housing restaurants. Those are frequented by tourists and above all locals, as they serve fresh fish. I have pictures of men fishing by their doorsteps.

This is also a reason, why this coastline must be 100 per cent unpolluted. Easier said than done... It looks like an impossible task with millions of tourists in town in the course of a single year.

Just figure that there is more than one holiday home in Tenerife in this quaint, hamlet Punta Brava. Such accommodation is not even cheap, while not exactly luxerios either. I know, as my friend Dr.Gustl Hinder told me so. The trouble is that most foreign renters will never be aware of environmental danger.

Look at the lovely Tenerife cat, portrayed beside. I took a shot of it by Punta Brava, where it helps to keep a clean environment as far as rat infestation is concerned. Cats have environmental awareness. Right?

It is above a tiny fish restaurant, which is one of rather humble looking Tenerife restaurants. by corner C.Victor Machado of Punta Brava.

This one shows environmental awareness for Tenerife marine life and fish. It reads: 'Cuida tu mar', which means to take care of your ocean. Also engraved are the words Asociación Cultural Ecoarte (Cultural Association of Eco Art).

This mural of environmental concerns is signed by the artist Salvatore Cibelli, who was born in Naples, Italy. He has a website under construction.

Last not least, encounter a mural of a different kind of environmental awareness, which is about the threat of tobacco.

The photo beside portrays a smoking woman with child. It represents a realistic peace of art painted on a wall in Calle Vieja in Puerto de la Cruz, near the old bus station. Cigarettes pollute the environment, indeed. Certainly, the message of this ecological art is also to stop smoking.

This page is not for pointing out Tenerife environmental problems, except for Punta Brava. In fact, it rather serves to emphasize positive thinking towards environmental awareness. May more ecological art help with this.

From environmental awareness to Spain art with topics on sculptures for social awareness, contemporary art of TEA museum and much more.
