Grandes Playas, Corralejo - Sunbeds?

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

Has anyone been to Grandes Playas lately? Friend is due out at Corralejo at the weekend and likes to go to Grandes Playas, just south of the Riu hotel, Oliva Beach. She's heard that there are no sunbeds there anymore - can anyone confirm either way? It'll be a right pain if no sunbeds as due to a back problem she can't get down onto the sand.

Tamara,
According to reports on Facebook there are no sun beds by the Riu hotels.
No doubt someone will confirm here.
Bertie.

Well, the answer is NO sunbeds! Friend arrived and went there with fingers crossed but no joy
She asked around and the consensus is that something went wrong with the concession renewals...

• For the Canarian Coalition, the mayor and the councilor for Beaches have "the little shame in blaming the previous Corporation for its management disaster, when they are the ones who have withdrawn the beach services in the middle of the high tourist season"

In November 2019, the City Council of La Oliva, being mayor Isaí Blanco, drafted the project for the tender for Seasonal Services on the Municipality's Beaches. In April 2020, a month before the motion of censure presented by the current corporation, the project was submitted to public information on the platform of the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
Here is the ad.
More than two years later, the mayor and the Socialist Party that manages the Beaches area have withdrawn the hammock and umbrella services, even bringing in tractors hired by the city council to "tear down beach bars and a surf school, blaming it on the previous corporation”, they point out from the Coalition.
"The reality is that the beach services were closed throughout the pandemic, precious time that the current government group was able to take advantage of to advance the award procedures," they point out.
"He did not do it with due diligence, and now in the middle of the high season, La Oliva does not have a single umbrella, hammock, or beach bar in the entire municipality, offering an unfortunate image," they denounce.
"As the mayor points out in her announcement, the previous award of services was not done correctly," they point out from CC. "But that was in 2016, that is, before the government headed by Isaí Blanco took office," they clarify.
In addition, "if the problem was from the previous corporation, the mayor herself would be just as guilty, because before the motion of censure, she was the first deputy mayor, and the Councilor for Tourism was the same as now," they recall.
The former mayor, Isaí Blanco, declared that "once again, I must regret and censure the words of the mayor. Doña Pilar, you know perfectly well that while we governed together, the necessary steps were taken to renew the award of beach services. If the The new tender has not arrived on time, for whatever reason, exceptions to costs, delays in the Environmental Body, or management errors by your government team, I do not know, you must assume responsibility. It is the attitude that corresponds to a serious and responsible public position".
Canarian Coalition - Majorera Assembly wants to make it clear that "the previous corporation took the necessary steps to tender new beach authorizations with all legal guarantees."
"And as a result of a lot of effort, a fully detailed 500-page document was approved and published, with great work from the drafting team, which guaranteed a leap in quality in terms of previous services," explained the former mayor, Isaí White.
For the Canary Coalition - Majorera Assembly, the mayor and the councilor of Playas "have not been able to manage and maintain good relations with the entities and companies involved, not even with institutions managed by the same party as the councilor of Playas, such as the Demarcation of Coasts”. A “more serious and open-minded” attitude would surely have avoided withdrawing the beach services before the new award, they say.
“Let us remember that the City Council of La Oliva notified in mid-June that the successful bidders had to withdraw their facilities within 48 hours. And two days later, they put the tractors on the beaches to dismantle the facilities. Two years of government, and in two days they destroy the beach services”, emphasize the nationalists.
From the Canarian Coalition, “although we have nothing to do with this management disaster, we feel compelled to apologize to the tourism sector and beach users. The good data of La Oliva is thanks to the tourism sector, and not to the town hall. Although we are in opposition, we promise to help and support from the party so that the beaches of La Oliva have services again as soon as possible.
"Everything indicates that the mayor and her government partners do not have any plan, because in the published press release, they do not give dates of when the award of services is scheduled, nor is the status of the file reported," they lament.
In addition, the Canary Coalition regrets "once again what, unfortunately, is usual, criticizing and blaming the opposition using public media, such as communication services and institutional social networks."
For the Canary Coalition, it is "inadmissible" that the mayor "blames the previous corporation for this disaster, when they have had plenty of time to solve the problem."
"Tourists who visit us regularly, this year cannot enjoy the services that the beaches of La Oliva have always offered, and it is likely that because of this, many of them will not return anymore," they say.
