QUAD WRANGLES Yaiza Bans Buggies From Rural Roads

After threatening to take action against excursion operators within their municipality the local council in Yaiza has now imposed an outright ban on quad bikes and buggies from using dirt tracks and rural roads.

The ban was agreed last Friday and includes fines for transgression of up to 3,000 euros.

Over the last couple of years quad bike and buggie companies offering off road tours have sprung up across the island. But Increasingly they have come into conflict with local residents, farmers and conservationists, who are opposed to the damage these tours can inflict on both agriculture and the environment.
