€1.5 Million Investment to Upgrade Teguise Tourist Infrastructure

The Canarian Government’s Department of Tourism and Employment has announced a €1.5 million investment aimed at improving tourist infrastructure in Lanzarote, with €635,000 specifically allocated to projects across Costa Teguise and other coastal areas within the municipality of Teguise.

Beach Safety and Accessibility Improvements

The works focus on three key areas designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and public services in tourist zones.

Plans include upgrades to lifeguard and rescue infrastructure on several Costa Teguise beaches, with new observation towers, flagpoles, flags, and updated safety signage being installed in line with tourism quality standards.

Public restroom facilities at Las Cucharas, Playa Bastián, and Playa Jablillo are also being repaired and modernised to improve services for both residents and visitors.

In addition, the project includes the renovation of beach access walkways, railings, footbaths, and pedestrian areas, together with the installation of new pergolas and vertical signage.

Focus on Sustainability and Public Spaces

Tourism Minister Jéssica de León said the initiatives will help create “a safer, more accessible and sustainable experience” for those using the Teguise coastline.

She also highlighted ongoing collaboration with Gesprotur and Teguise Ayuntamiento to restore trails, improve green spaces, and coordinate wider regeneration projects throughout Costa Teguise.

Mayor Olivia Duque welcomed the investment, describing it as an important step in continuing to modernise tourism infrastructure and public areas across the municipality.

Trail Network and Coastal Heritage Restoration

Gesprotur CEO Ignacio Solana also stressed the importance of restoring Costa Teguise’s trail network and rehabilitating traditional windmills along the coast as part of efforts to preserve local heritage and improve degraded public spaces.

Tourism Councillor Rita Hernández confirmed that trail restoration work is progressing well and said residents and tourists will soon be able to enjoy the upgraded routes.

Local authorities say the investment will play a key role in improving sustainability, accessibility, and the overall visitor experience in one of Lanzarote’s most popular tourist destinations.
