LAJARES, The ideal city.

22 Nov, 2022

How  to make of Lajares a little part of how you wish the world to be?

We are facing an accelerating climate of tourism, population, infrastructure issues and some other difficulties which may affect the way we have always known our lovely village, Lajares. In these booming times we have an unprecedented opportunity to rethink, to adapt, and to re-design Lajares. We have the opportunity to create a new place, which we will all love.

For sure we are not facing the same  kind of threats, challenges and problems like the big cities across Europe, but we are facing our own difficulties of becoming bigger. Some problems might raise of we do not move forward.

The magic of Lajares!

Lajares is a fascinating place, but some actions are required to make it even a better place, and we should face these actions with a creative, playful and optimism mind. This is the challenge for our little ideal city, Lajares.

The magic of Lajares is based on the harmony existing between local people, residents and people visiting us. Lajares officers you this kind of magic which goes further as no other place in the Canary Islands.

We are happy to present their conclusions, as one of the main think-tank organizations about the future of our cities. Their conclusions are easily and happily accepted by all the people living here or coming to visit us. 

RESOURCEFUL, we need to be ecologically and economically sustainable, prioritizing circular principles, meaning fully closed waters, materials and energy loops. Its build sustainably and uses waste as a resource.
