Residents of La Graciosa have contacted La Voz to denounce the "poor condition" of the island regarding urban furniture, gray water, and the salt flats.
One of the citizens denounces that in the dock area, "the jetties are obsolete and, despite the announcement of several plans and dates for their renovation, none have yet been fulfilled".
Thus, he also criticizes the state of the entrance esplanade. "It is completely destroyed and they were supposed to repair it at the end of summer 2025, and to date no work has been done," he assures
Regarding **greywater**, he denounces that "a few years ago, the works for machinery and materials to adapt the connections began, and they stopped them halfway through, with the loss of the work done and the machinery itself." Here comes into play the **large number of tourists who visit the island** and stay in vacation homes, according to the resident. "The septic tanks of these homes are not prepared for such a movement of people and they have had to bring a vacuum truck to empty them as they fill up," he points outOn the other hand, he states that the **salt flats** located in Risco de Famara are "totally abandoned, despite a significant amount of money being dedicated to their recovery years ago".In addition, he denounces that in La Graciosa there is only one toilet and that "long queues form upon the arrival of boats with passengers." Likewise, he emphasizes the number of vehicles on the island. "More and more arrive every year, and they are diesel-powered in an island that is a protected natural space... it's incredible that they can pass their technical inspections," he says
For all these reasons, they are demanding accountability from the Cabildo of Lanzarote, the Teguise City Council, and the Government of the Canary Islands.
