March 2026 | Gazette Life | 17COSTA TEGUISE TOILET WOESWe have been coming to the Island for a number of years, now we are both in our 70s but very fit and enjoy walking along the coastal paths.Yesterday, whilst walking in Costa Teguise again, my husband went to the public loos and had to help a lady with her disabled husband navigate the men%u2019s loo, having found the disabled loo in the ladies closed - guess what, the men%u2019s disabled loo was the same.Later, I also went into the ladies to find someone of my own age waiting as there was a broken lock on the only available toilet. I watched out for her, and she watched out for me!!!I also have popped into a bar, only to be told quite aggressively that the toilets are only for customers, I am a customer to this island, and I do not understand the very unfriendly, discompassionate response.Maybe you think that weeing and pooing in the sea is the answer, I am sure many visitors do, through necessity! Get a grip, we are all human and the majority of people are very nice, you might even get a friend coming to your bar or restaurant.Granny SueEd: We%u2019ve been assured that work on the public toilets in Costa Teguise is imminent, Sue, but it%u2019s upsetting to hear that you were so rudely turned away by a bar. In our experience, most establishments are fairly understanding in this regard. By the way, weeing in the sea is illegal in Teguise, but getting caught depends on whether you do it while bathing or off the end of the pier! CUCHARAS CYCLE PATHS? I enjoy cycling in Las Cucharas except for the pedestrians, mobility scooters and four wheeled cycles. Why can't the bicycle track be marked somehow to let people know it's for bicycles?Tony Clinning.Ed: Cycling is permitted on the promenade at Las Cucharas, Tony, but it%u2019s pretty narrow and often fairly busy. Wider stretches in the resort have red cycle paths marked, but we assume that hasn%u2019t happened at Las Cucharas because there%u2019s no room for a priority lane for cyclists. Which means you don%u2019t have priority. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!I have nothing but praise for the treatment I received from everyone, beginning with Urgencias in T%u00edas, the ambulance drivers and paramedics, and Urgencias in Arrecife%u2019s hospital. And the way I was cared for in the Hospital Insular (geriatric) ward.Thank you so much all of you.
