will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain Locals in the Tenerife town of Tacoronte had watched the Teobaldo Power bridge slowly deteriorate — the cracks deepening The north side of the bridge collapsed into the Granados ravine and residents who were on site inspecting the damage The scene that followed was surreal: a deep sinkhole where part of the road used to be and the sense among many that they’d been warning about this all along The collapse didn’t just take out a piece of infrastructure — it cut off essential services woke up to no electricity and no running water it became clear that repairs wouldn’t be quick The bridge had been officially closed off for two weeks but problems had been reported long before that We kept saying something needed to be done municipal workers rushed to secure the area reinforcing the fencing and keeping vehicles well away from the danger zone Locals are not just worried about when services will return — they’re asking why it ever got to this point Why did it take a collapse for officials to react In the middle of it all is a community left to deal with the fallout — literally And as rain clouds continue to gather over Tenerife

Hosted By canaryfone There is a building In the Canary Islands that looks like an optical illusion or something out of a video game where the road doesn’t follow the expected path creating one of the most curious urban features in all of Spain this unique structure has recently gained attention on social media but what truly sets it apart is the road that runs over its rooftop at a height of more than 20 metres This road connects the neighbourhood of Mesa del Mar to the coast and its unusual construction has sparked both admiration and controversy among locals and visitors The building was originally designed to meet the growing demand for housing in the area while also supporting the road leading down to the coastline Residents have pointed out that this mix of infrastructure and housing has been essential for maintaining access to the community without sacrificing residential space While the rooftop road might seem fascinating but the weight became too much for the structure to handle most residents claim they aren’t disturbed by noise sometimes feel vibrations from big vehicles passing overhead Urban planners have voiced concerns over the excessive use of natural space for such constructions This critique isn’t new for Tacoronte which had been converted from a hotel into residences was damaged during a major storm when towering waves demolished the lower floors This incident highlighted the risks posed to coastal constructions adding to the debate over urban development in fragile environments While the rooftop road may seem like an extraordinary quirk it raises important questions about balancing functionality and the environment in architectural design it remains a standout feature in the landscape of Tenerife Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker HESPERIA — Mojave River Academy students here received a lesson in compassion Tuesday from an unlikely source: an elephant Ellie the Elephant — a 78-inch tall animatronic Asian pachyderm designed to teach kids to “Say no to the circus” — visited the school’s Hesperia campus to tell the story of her journey from a circus to a sanctuary things were really terrible,” Ellie said via a built-in voice recording I’m sure they don’t have any idea what are lives are really like They see us doing tricks and think everything is fine forced to eat and defecate in the same cramped quarters and prodded with a sharp bullhook when she did and didn’t perform tricks She much prefers her new home in an elephant sanctuary where she’s free to run and swim Ellie is the world’s first robotic educational elephant according to a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) statement She began traveling across the United States in 2015 to teach kids that elephants belong in the wild Ellie has taught students empathy by comparing elephants to humans elephants have complex emotions and form strong bonds with their families But her story advocates for other animals as well “I’m here to tell you that you have the power to help all animals,” Ellie said “Please make a promise to never go to a circus that has animal acts If your family is thinking about taking a trip to a circus or aquarium Most of Ellie’s 500-pound body is made of neoprene (the same material used to make a diver’s dry suit) that has been dried and hardened according to Ellie’s handlers Stephanie Maddux and Jordyn Tacoronte Ellie’s story is a broad amalgamation of what “happens to every single elephant in every single circus,” according to Tacoronte who said Ellie’s education also combats bullying in schools the use of elephants in circuses has been a longstanding contentious issue with animal rights groups like PETA advocating against captivity Feld Entertainment — owner of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus — retired elephants from their shows Feld announced it would close the circus for good but a Ringling Brothers performer told the Times the retirement of the elephants “was the beginning of the end.” Tacoronte told the Daily Press that Ellie initially traveled specifically to locations where Ringling Brothers was also scheduled she was following the Ringling Red Line,” Tacoronte said we were kind of showing up four or five days before the Ringling Brothers would roll into town and then Ringling Brothers would come in.” “We would like to think Ellie was right on the road within a few months of the elephants being retired from the circus,” Tacoronte said Tacoronte told Mojave River Academy students the goal of Ellie’s story is not to boycott all circuses “We’re not here to just tell people not to go to circuses,” she said They have acrobats and clowns and performers and jugglers and people on motorbikes But we’re here to explain … what happens to the animals in some circuses when they’re used for entertainment.” Ellie travels to a different part of the United States each school semester Her current tour has brought her tale to San Bernardino and Riverside counties Matthew

Tacoronte was officially named for the first time at the beginning of the summer took one of the last steps of his term of office the City Council baptized a small road in the north of the island as Calle del Calimocho although the neighbors of the area had already been calling it that for some time The reason is that on one side of the street is the Bodega Comarcal de Tacoronte and are precisely the basic ingredients of calimocho It was a neighbor who first noticed the coincidence and who came up with the name in the first place As it was so well received by the inhabitants of the municipality and the factories themselves the matter reached the ears of the administrations and the rest is history the Bodega Comarcal de Tacoronte is one of the three that make up the Bodegas Insulares de Tenerife With wines of the Designation of Origin Tacoronte-Acentejo among which is the Grand Gold Medal of the National Competition of Wines of Small D.O.’s 2023 and the Silver Medal in the most recent Vinespaña contest organized by the Spanish Federation of Oenology View this post on Instagram A post shared by DO Tacoronte-Acentejo (@dotacoronteacentejo) The Coca-Cola factory was inaugurated in Tacoronte in 1997 and produces 120 million liters of soft drink a year The entire production process is carried out there extracted from its own 410-meter deep well The building is surrounded by “a plantation of green bush which acts as an audiovisual screen and as a call for ecological awareness,” explains Víctor Morales public affairs and sustainability at Coca-Cola Canarias As a sign of the importance they attach to this issue the factory has managed to ensure that more than 99% of its waste can be reused for new processes The Calimocho street also includes in its sign the Basque name despite the disenchantment of the only inhabitant of the street that they have included the translation of the term during the festivities of the Old Port of Algorta although it had already been consumed in Spain since the 1920’s since there were very few establishments that sold the American soft drink at that time With the arrival of the first factory in Spain in 1953 the mixture began to become popular under different names It was in 1972 when the gang in charge of organizing that year’s festivities in the Old Port of Algorta bought 2,000 liters of red wine that ended up being spiked In order to be able to dispose of the liquid they decided to disguise the taste with the same amount of soft drink and in an attempt to prevent customers from discovering what was really happening they wanted to give a new name to the concoction selling it as something new and attractive As they continue narrating from the Tourist Office one of the members of the gang nicknamed ‘Kali’ had an “ungraceful appearance” and as in Basque “ugly” is said “motxo” one of those present came up with the idea of combining both names for the drink being the idea enthusiastically welcomed by those present The mixture of ingredients is for some a delicacy and for others an aberration but the truth is that it is a recurrent in the popular celebrations of different parts of Spain is

Oddo said he's taken it up with the city Department of Transportation and Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway "This work is designed to make people's lives better," said Oddo "The city can't delay these projects," said Matteo They shouldn't fear every time it rains." They noted that after the funding is secured and the designs refined the city Law Department has to review acquisition plans to take up to 12 inches from hundreds of property owners to widen streets to accommodate new sewers A DOT spokesman indicated the "funding is under review."
