                   If planning to anchor in Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma & Hierro, yachts should ask for permission in advance at the Capitania of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is also recommended that yachts should seek approval before anchoring elsewhere in the Canaries. Yachts that anchor in remote places without authorisation should not be surprised if they are asked to move on.

La Marina señalizará amarres gratuitos para ir a restaurantes

 

LOLA SORIANO |  VALENCIA

Los dos puntos que, en principio, se habilitarán para estos amarres serán la zona del Veles e Vents, junto a la pérgola y, en la marina sur, al otro lado del canal.
