One year after the severe floods that hit Costa Teguise in April 2025, the Lanzarote town has successfully restored normalcy in most of its businesses and beaches, hoping to prevent future incidents.

On the afternoon of April 12, 2025, Costa Teguise experienced a massive downpour that caused significant material damage. Fortunately, a year later, the situation has returned to normal, generating optimism among residents and business owners in the area.
One of the key actions has been the thorough cleaning of the Hurón ravine, whose overflow was the main cause of flooding in numerous properties and tourist complexes. This initiative was promoted by the Island Water Council to prevent future runoff and overflows, as explained at the time by Domingo Cejas, the Cabildo's Water Councillor.
Additionally, improvements have been implemented on the beaches, especially in Las Cucharas, with sand readjustments and new infrastructure. The Teguise City Council, with the support of the Cabildo and the direct involvement of Mayor Olivia Duque, managed these actions. The removal of hammocks and umbrellas, whose concession had expired, was used to carry out a deep cleaning.

"The sun loungers and walkways will be back in May, June at the latest."

Last Tuesday, April 7, the contract was signed between the new concessionaire, Vientos de León, and the Consistory for the reinstallation of these services. Damaged road sections have also been repaired, and options are being evaluated to modify part of the route that runs over the Hurón ravine, considering the lessons learned from April 12, 2025.
In the tourism sector, complexes such as Santa Rosa recovered quickly. Others, like the Salinas hotel and the El Trébol complex, reopened during the summer. The HD Beach Resort, however, is still undergoing a major renovation that was brought forward due to the damage suffered, and its reopening is expected in the coming months, maintaining its four-star category.
