Coalición Canaria in the Cabildo de Gran Canaria will present an initiative for the island government to support the recovery and enhancement of the village of San Fernando de Maspalomas, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana.

The councilor and nationalist spokesperson, Vidina Cabrera, announced that this proposal will be brought before the next plenary session in April. The party aims to boost the reconditioning of this enclave, considered part of the municipality's historical heritage and the first residential core on the coast, inaugurated on March 1, 1961.
According to the party, parts of the village's facilities have not been renovated in over 60 years. As early as 2021, the municipal corporation had announced an beautification plan that included the recovery of parking spaces, the widening of sidewalks and curbs, and the expansion of the municipal park, a project that has not yet been executed.

"The proposal seeks to promote the reconditioning and improvement of the village and calls for an active role from the island government to advance in this direction."

The nationalists insist that this settlement is the original core associated with the socioeconomic transformation of the south of the island, and its recovery would reinforce its recognition as a foundational element of tourism development in southern Gran Canaria. They propose that the rehabilitation should be a structural intervention to improve the area's image and conservation.
Furthermore, Coalición Canaria suggests that, once rehabilitated, the village could be integrated into Maspalomas' cultural offerings, with interpretive routes and cultural spaces that promote local history, architecture, and identity. They also aim to foster the revitalization of local commerce and economic activity associated with the area.
The initiative awaits debate and voting in the plenary session of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria.
