La Palma The allegation of the banana trees of the volcano: "In 49 we turned ruin into wealth and we will do it again"
The lava flows that flow from
the cone of the La Palma volcano
that erupted on September 19 have forced this Thursday to continue with the evacuations, which since Tuesday affect about 1,200 people according to census data, but the
advance of the magma
He seems to be slowing down after he has swallowed a supermarket and crossed a soccer field. The
lava
, which has destroyed a thousand buildings, occupies 675 hectares and the maximum width of the flows is 1,770 meters.
Meanwhile,
the island tries to recover some normalized activity,
when scientists have already warned that neither in the short nor in the medium term there are signs that the eruption is going to stop.
Thus, the Ministry of Education has announced that on Monday, October 18, classes will resume in Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and Tazacorte, a month after being interrupted, and after an unsuccessful attempt to open schools this week.

The La Palma volcano continues to roar and has forced the
preventive evacuation
of the 400 people who still remained in the La Laguna neighborhood, in Los Llanos de Aridane, although
the two arms of the most active wash have slowed their progress
after being carried away by in front of a supermarket and across the football field.
And underground, at depths of more than ten kilometers,
seismicity is maintained,
which has increased in intensity until reaching the maximum registered in this volcanic crisis, 4.5 magnitude, an earthquake felt throughout the island despite the fact that it was located 37 kilometers from the surface.
