"A tourist was seen this Monday by several hikers naked and destroying the lava flows of Pico Partido, to make one of those stone monoliths that they like so much." That is what a reader has denounced, who has addressed La Voz to demand greater surveillance in the area.

According to explains, at the time the Civil Guard was notified, but affirms that "they managed to escape", both he and the person who accompanied him. In this regard, he regrets that although the area is classified as a protected space, "it lacks surveillance", since "the Cabildo neither has nor hires environmental guards".

Furthermore, he compares this situation with that of the neighboring island of Fuerteventura, where he highlights that they do have this type of agent and emphasizes that they do "a great job".

This reader also points out that Pico Partido, located on the border of the Timanfaya National Park and the La Geria and Los Volcanes Natural Park, "is one of the most spectacular volcanoes in Lanzarote", so he especially regrets that the area is not monitored.
