Managed by Cruz Roja (reception management)

Historical use. This tourist establishment was used for temporary migrant accommodation in 2020-21, at the request of the Red Cross, while state facilities were being prepared. It is not recorded as being in reception use now. The facts here come from Canary Islands press reporting at the time and from Supreme Court judgment STS 197/2023, a case about a security-staff labour dispute rather than about the establishment’s conduct.

    Security contract changes hands

    As people moved from hotels into the state camps, the security contract passed along a chain: Eulen Seguridad under the Red Cross, then the state company Tragsa engaging Ilunion (ONCE), then Eulen again, then Cenpol Seguridad. Eulen had 55 workers on the roster; Cenpol took on 25.

    Supreme Court rules the 30 left out were unlawfully dismissed

    The Supreme Court held that Cenpol's refusal to take on the remaining thirty security guards amounted to an unlawful collective dismissal, ordering their immediate reinstatement and back pay from 26 August 2021. The judgment is the reason the eight establishments are named in a public record at all.
