Several tourists have been captured on video throwing electric scooters into the Troya ravine, in the Las Verónicas area of Arona, Tenerife, sparking local criticism.

A video circulating on social media has sparked a wave of criticism after documenting several tourists throwing electric scooters into the Troya ravine, located in the Las Verónicas area of the municipality of Arona, Tenerife.
The footage, which has rapidly spread in recent hours, captures the exact moment several individuals hurl the personal mobility vehicles from the public road into the ravine, while other young people observe the scene.
This act has generated numerous reactions of rejection from local residents, who have labeled the incident as an act of vandalism and are demanding the identification and sanctioning of those responsible.
Published comments also question the impact that such behavior may have on urban furniture, safety, and cleanliness in one of the main nightlife areas in the south of Tenerife.
The dissemination of this video has reignited the debate on uncivil behavior in Las Verónicas and the need to strengthen surveillance in this tourist enclave of Arona.
