Fureventua Castillo beach park
Please beware of these 3 people. I was at the pool at Castillo Beach when a family, two of whom are much larger and older than me (I’m 24 and around 8 stone), proceeded to come over and try to lift and drag my 4-year-old daughter off a sunbed, and then tried to do the same to me.
They then decided they were going to try to attack me twice in front of everyone in the pool area, until their daughter, who was wearing a yellow top, had to drag them away.
I’m on holiday by myself with my daughter, and I was threatened and nearly attacked over using a sunbed. I couldn’t thank the women who came to my rescue enough for running over to protect and help me and my daughter in the middle of all the chaos.
I know people laugh and joke about “sunbed wars”, but this was beyond that. Please be careful when using the sunbeds, as some people take this “war” very seriously.

Nerds on Gran Canaria?
Hey, I am considering to relocate to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Is there a community for video games, boardgames, in general nerdy stuff?

Did anyone watch yesterday's solar eclipse from Lanzarote? What was it like?
I watched it from the island and it was one of those moments that's hard to put into words. The light changed in a way I've never seen before, something between dusk and something else entirely. The temperature dropped noticeably and for a few minutes everything felt strangely still.
Lanzarote was actually one of the best spots in the Canaries for it. The west coast viewpoints, Mirador del Río, Famara, El Golfo, the area around La Santa, offered up to around 73-74% partial coverage, which is significant enough to feel the effect on the light and the atmosphere around you. The higher and more open the horizon, the better the experience.
Curious if anyone else was watching from here and where you ended up going. Did it hit you the same way?

Low-budget Car rental on La Palma
Hello everyone,
i would like to rent a car for 6-7 days on La Palma island, i'm 23, so i would like to get any car rental recommended for low "young driver fee", i found some deals approx 140EUR, can i get a bit lower? Is it actually the best idea to rent a car at the airport or it would be better to find local car rentals?
Thank you very much.
