A woman rides a horse on Famara beach. The images accessed by La Voz were taken on Monday afternoon in one of the most representative natural spaces on the island of Lanzarote.
In addition, the councilor of the Local Police of Teguise, Ginés González, recalls that "you cannot ride a horse, unless expressly authorized to do so for some act or reason authorized by the City Council."
According to the ordinance of beaches of the City Council of Teguise, which dates from 2012, it is "totally prohibited the transit, stay, defecation and bathing of animals on beaches that have traditionally been used for bathing or sports practices."
Thus, animals are allowed to "transit through avenues and public walks" if they are walked responsibly, "using a collar and leash or resistant cord." In addition, depending on the type of animal, they must "wear a muzzle, depending on their temperament, breed or dangerousness" and complying "with the specific regulations."
People accompanying the animal must remove the depositions produced by it. In addition, the owner of the animal must be responsible for "the damages caused by said animal to people, objects and the environment in general."
