Tenerife Vandalism with slogans from the 20A mobilization against mass tourism. On Wednesday morning, graffiti has emerged along the road that crosses Teide, one of the four national parks in the Canary Islands, with phrases like “Canary Islands have a limit” and “tourist moratorium.”

The vice president of the Tenerife Island Council, Lope Afonso, denounced the incident through the social network X, formerly known as Twitter. “Canary Islands may have limits, but this surpasses them. Demands and requests cannot be turned into vandalism or attack public property, especially our landscape and natural spaces. The Teide National Park is a World Heritage Site and deserves care and respect,” he stated.

Canary Islands may have limits, but this surpasses them.

Demands and requests cannot be turned into vandalism or attack public property and, especially, our landscape and natural spaces.

Lope Afonso concludes his comment with a warning that “not everything is permissible” and includes a photo of the graffiti taken by environmental agents of the Tenerife Island Council. One image was taken at 10:17, while a second one, shared on X by profiles like Tenerife Vial, was taken at 10:24.

These acts of vandalism are strictly prohibited by the regulations of the Teide National Park.

The National Park of Teide Management Plan indicates that making signs, symbols, or drawings on the ground or on rocks, plants, or buildings within the Park is subject to penalties ranging from 150 to 601 Euros, as well as restoration costs.

Off-trail Runners, paragliders, poledancers, unauthorized rolling advertising brands, and more or less followed influencers who record videos in protected areas where access is strictly prohibited. This could be a typical day in the Teide National Park.

Social media is flooded with content showcasing all kinds of videos or photos seeking likes even if they violate the established rules for a protected area like the Teide National Park.

But what wasn’t expected was that the latest vandalistic attack on Teide was related to the “Canary Islands running out” movement, which specifically advocates for more environmental care and measures against mass tourism.
