As for

the laundry that worries, the 3

, passes through evacuated areas, but it is

causing a lot of material damage

, and if two days ago it was small, now it

has increased in size

after not being able to ride on the 9 and has stuck to it to move towards the sea, in the municipality of Tazacorte, as explained by the technical director of the Canary Islands Volcanic Emergency Plan (Pevolca), Miguel Ángel Morcuende.

The forecast is that this wash will not reach the sea soon, and if it did, it would not be necessary to evacuate the San Borondón neighborhood, in Tazacorte, because it is about 3,800 meters away, but it would affect the works that in Puerto Naos, in Los Llanos de Aridane, are carried out with desalination plants to supply water to crops in that area.
