Tenerife Approves New Public Housing and Education Projects

New Public Housing Development for Granadilla de Abona

The Council of Tenerife has approved the construction of 47 public housing units in Granadilla de Abona this Wednesday, as part of a wider strategy to expand the island’s residential offer. The development, named ‘Cuevas Cho Portada’, will be built in the Los Hueros area with a total investment of €9.6 million, in collaboration with the Canary Islands Housing Institute.

The project will be processed under an urgent, open procedure to accelerate timelines and start construction as soon as possible, in response to Tenerife’s growing demand for housing. Funding will be shared, with the Council contributing 40% and the Canary Islands Government providing the remaining 60%, in a model of institutional cooperation.

Island-Wide Reading Programme Gets Green Light

In the field of education, the Council has also given the go-ahead to the PIALTE+ programme (Tenerife Insular Programme for Learning and Reading), designed to encourage reading habits for the 2026-2027 academic year. The initiative will receive an investment exceeding €749,000 and will reach schools across the island with 11 educational projects aimed at pupils from nursery age through to sixth form.

The programme will include creative writing workshops, critical reading sessions, audiovisual formats, and oral expression activities, integrating key competencies such as linguistic communication and digital skills.

Urban Landscape Improvements Across Municipalities

Furthermore, the Governing Council has updated its cooperation programme with municipalities for urban landscape improvements between 2024 and 2026. Work is planned in towns including Güímar, Los Realejos, and Buenavista del Norte.

These interventions aim to transform public spaces, improve accessibility, and progress towards more sustainable environments adapted to current needs. The package of measures reflects the Council’s commitment to combining housing, education, and urban quality, with a direct impact on the daily lives of Tenerife’s residents.
