More Information
1) TOURIST INFORMATION OFFICES
COSTA TEGUISE: Creation of a Tourist Information Office next to the Pueblo Marinero in the centre of the Costa Teguise tourist district. The office will be situated in a small, newly constructed building, designed to reflect typical Canary and local architectural features.

TEGUISE: Another tourist office in the Villa de Teguise will be opened in the Palacio Spinola (Spinola Palace), with direct access from the Plaza de la Constitución in the heart of the historic centre.

2) BURIED GARBAGE CONTAINERS
Buried garbage containers will be installed in two areas: one in the plaza where the Sunday market (Mercadillo de la Villa de Teguise) takes place year round, and the other between the tourist complexes of Albatros and OasisLanz in Costa Teguise.
This measure will above all reduce the visual pollution suffered by those two areas of interest: one in the historic-artistic heritage zone, and the other in the centre of the Costa Teguise Community, which as it stands impedes pedestrian traffic. Both areas will have two units of three sections for organic waste, a container for packaging, another for glass and another for paper.
3) TOCA SPORT-COLEGO INTERNACIONAL CIRCLE
This entails the construction of a circle road in the centre of Costa Teguise. This circle is a reference point for many destinations and is, in fact, a crossroads for a large volume of daily traffic.
4) RESTORATION OF THE MUSIC PAVILION AND PUEBLO MARINERO
A complete restoration of the Plaza of Puerto Marinero, as well as the Music Pavilion and its adjacent streets, will be carried out in several phases throughout the duration of the Plan of Excellence in Tourism.

The most urgent to be considered in the first phase will be the renovation of the Music Pavilion and the artistic lighting of the Plaza, elimination of architectural barriers and the restoration of the decorative motif in Pueblo Marinero without changes to the original Cesar Manrique design.

5) PROJECT FOR ENERGY SAVINGS IN STREET LIGHTING
Due to the cost of this annual expenditure, energy saving street lamps will be installed in Costa Teguise. The first phase will be the replacement of existing lamps with those of the same style but with energy efficient bulbs, resulting in the near total elimination of light pollution.
6) PUBLICISING THE TEGUISE PLAN OF EXCELLENCE IN TOURISM
Logo of the Teguise Plan of Excellence in Tourism:
A logo has been designed to define the project and facilitate its public recognition. The Lanzarote artist and UCCT artistic consultant, Ildefonso Aguilar, synthesized two of the most common symbols of the Municipality: depiction of the richness of the historic-artistic heritage of the Villa de Teguise as seen on the scrolls that adorn the main portico of the San Francisco Convent, complemented by probably the most emblematic scene, the Risco de Fomara.

Panels to publicise the Teguise Plan of Excellence:
As another means to raise public awareness of the Plan of Excellence, panels will be erected at six entrances to the Municipality: three at the access to Costa Teguise (from Arrecife, Teguise and Guatiza), and another three in the Villa de Teguise (accesses on the Arrecife-Haría and Yaiza roads).

Promotion of the Plan of Excellence in Tourism:
Since the International Tourism Fair (FITUR’2005) in Madrid is of great importance in the promotion of the Plan of Excellence, panels giving relevant information have been prepared.
7) DEVELOPMENT OF WEB SITE
The web page for the Plan of Excellence is presently being developed under the domain name www.teguiseturismo.com.

Complete and up to date information will be posted throughout the development of the Plan.
As well, we expect this site to become the tourism portal to Teguise, and serve as the main guide to all those who wish to know our Municipality.
