The City of Santa Cruz de Tenerife via the Public Services Area has announced that the bathing zone of The pools situated on the coast of Valseco has been partially reopened following maintenance work conducted after deficiencies in the facilities were identified on Thursday.

The mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, José Manuel Bermúdez, emphasised that “all the work will be completed in the coming days, but given that a portion of the bathing area has been secured, it has been decided to reopen so that users can continue to utilise these facilities.”
The pools were inaugurated one year ago during an event attended by the President of the Canary Islands Government, Fernando Clavijo, the President of the Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, the mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, the President of the Port Authority, and the Minister of Tourism of the Regional Government, Jessica de León, along with various other officials from CC and the PP.
