The 22th
July 2019, the coordinator of our entrepreneurial initiatives, Miguel Muñoz, attended
one of the sessions of the Canarias Surf Film Festival 2019, a film festival
focused on surf as a theme, which is realised in an itinerant way by the
islands of the Canary archipelago. The sessions of this day were hold at the Tenerife
Museum of Nature and Archaeology, with a programme of activities which included
concerts, exhibitions, conferences, food tastings and presentations of various
films about the history of surf worldwide. To summarize, this festival can be
defined as a cultural event which intends to promote a type of tourism related
to the water and underwater activities which are done in different marine
locations of the archipelago.
A renowned
example of these locations can be found in the zone of El Médano (Granadilla,
Tenerife), whose coast offers excellent conditions for practising marine sports
such as surf, windsurf or kitesurf. Another example is provided by the area of
Pozo Izquierdo (Santa Lucía de Tirajana, Gran Canaria), which has become one of
the main venues of the World Windsurf Championship. In fact, the world surf
community knows Canary Islands as “the
European Hawaii”, not only for its subtropical climate and its volcanic origin,
but also for circumstances such as the quality of its waves and its strong
winds.
From our
entrepreneurial initiatives, we want to congratulate the Tenerife Museum of
Nature and Archaeology for the organisation of this event, which contributes to
the spreading of marine sports. In our opinion, this type of sports gives us a
great opportunity to open new touristic niches and improve the touristic offer
of the Canary archipelago.
