Likewise, the circulation of motor vehicles on the network of forest trails for recreational purposes and the stay in recreational areas, camping areas and camps are prohibited. Sporting events and pilgrimages on forest and cross-country tracks and trails are also not permitted.
The Cabildo recommends not accessing or remaining in the forest areas of the Island for the duration of the alert and taking extreme precautions throughout the island territory with any activity that could generate fires (tobacco, use of generating sets, electrical and pyrotechnic material , etc.).
The restrictions corresponding to grade 2 of forest fire prevention will remain active until the alert situation ends.
