Land Reclassification in San Cristóbal de La Laguna
The City Council of San Cristóbal de La Laguna has officially reclassified the Guamasa 3 land sector following the annulment of its previous development plan.
Key Details
During a session on May 6, 2025, the council decided that this area, which was previously earmarked for urban development, now falls under the category of a common reserve rural area.
This change aligns with Spanish and Canary Islands land laws, specifically Law 4/2017, which safeguards natural spaces and prevents unwanted urban sprawl.

It reflects a broader effort by local authorities to prioritize sustainable growth and preserve natural landscapes amid ongoing urban expansion pressures.
Communication and Transparency
The council's decision will be published in official bulletins and communicated to key regional agencies, including:
- Tenerife’s Planning Department
- Canary Islands government
This ensures transparency and adherence to legal procedures.
Implications
For residents and investors alike, this move signals a reinforcement of environmental protection policies and could influence future development projects in Guamasa.
