OCTOBER 2021

October started with good news as Tenerife went into level one as the covid 19 infection numbers continued to fall, however the government have been watching the numbers very closely and they started rising in the middle of the month and we are hoping that we don’t go back into level 2.

We are still under quite strict rules here in Tenerife there are still restrictions on bars and pool areas that MUST be adhered to, even if some holidaymakers do find the rules ridiculous as they are on holiday, I find this attitude very selfish and will not put our complex at risk of massive fines for not following the rules .

Masks are still mandatory and you must have one with you at all times when in public places.  You must wear the mask when using public transport and if you cannot distance from other people by 2 metres, it is also mandatory in all shops, bars, restaurants etc, you can remove it if you are seated at a table for food and drink. These laws also apply to our complex and the government have said mask wearing will be with us at least until spring 2022.

We have had trouble with dogs defecating on the complex again and in the garage area one person with a small white dog has been seen on a few occasions in the garage after coming down from D5 and allowing the dog to defecate as soon as it gets into the garage and then walking off and leaving it, this behavior is totally unacceptable and is unfair to all other owners and to our cleaning staff who eventually have to clear up the mess.

We have had a lot more owners coming  out to their apartments for the first since the pandemic started. It is great to see you all again after such a long time, hopefully as we get into next year the ‘new normal’ will be a ‘better new normal’

In January we are starting to replace all the emergency hose reels and cases on the complex as they are looking tired now and we are bound by legislation to update them. Some were replaced a few years ago and are still ok .

Just a word of warning if you haven’t been here for a long time when you come please go to your bank and make sure your details are up to date, we have had many owners with money in their accounts but the account has been frozen because it hasn’t been updated.

Christmas is coming and we will soon be decorating the complex again and setting the poinsettias around the solarium and lift areas to get us all into the Christmas spirit.

The weather has been good although now a little cooler especially in the evenings and a jumper is required, the sun is still shining but obviously the days are shorter.

What’s on in Los Cristianos;-    ( added by Steve, with thanks to Colin Kirby )
