This elevator is considered vital for connecting the sandy beach with the promenade, used by customers of commercial establishments and tourist complexes. Its prolonged inoperability and the lack of visible information have caused deep discomfort among users, who deem it essential for overcoming the significant elevation difference between the two areas.
The current state of the equipment, showing clear signs of neglect, has generated concern among both tourists and regular residents of the area. The absence of accessible alternatives forces many people to use long staircases, which poses a significant barrier for those with reduced mobility.
The situation directly affects families with baby strollers, elderly individuals, or those with physical limitations, as well as people suffering from conditions that hinder movement. All of them face serious difficulties accessing the beach from areas near shopping centers and tourist accommodations such as Kasbah, Metro, Yumbo, or La Sandía.
“"The lack of information regarding potential actions or repair timelines increases uncertainty among those affected."
To date, there has been no communication regarding any ongoing projects to definitively address the accessibility shortcomings in this strategic area. Although a large proportion of those affected are tourists or second-home owners, their economic contribution is significant for the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
