A couple hiking the popular Punta del Hidalgo trail discovered a rock inscribed with the phrase “kill a tourist” in English. Local communication officials deny any targeted actions against tourists and maintain a safe environment for visitors. The municipality asserts that tourists can continue to vacation peacefully on the Canary Island. This follows reporting by Finnish media outlet Iltalehti regarding the incident. Officials have not commented on the investigation of the graffiti or potential motives behind it, focusing instead on maintaining a positive image for tourism. The incident has raised concerns, but authorities are working to minimize alarm.
