Fire has torn through the forested northern foothills of Mount Teide since Tuesday night
A spokesperson for Tenerife’s tourist office said “the fire is not close to any major tourist destinations or cities on the island, so the situation remains entirely normal at accommodation establishments, beaches and other locations used by tourists in areas near the coast and in the foothills.
“Activities also continue with complete normality at ports, airports and on the roads across the island, except for those leading in to the mountains, which the authorities are asking people not to use given that certain sections are being closed, including the Teide National Park, and certain public and private activities are being suspended.”
However, it is acknowledged that some holiday homes and rural houses have been evacuated close to the fires. The air quality in the municipalities of Güímar, Arafo, Candelaria and El Rosario has been classified as “unfavourable” as a result of the smoke, with those in affected areas advised to avoid staying outside for long periods of time and close doors and windows, putting air conditioning in recirculation mode.
