AVOID

We live in a digital first world?

So naturally, you’d expect a major international telecom provider to deliver exactly that.

Our experience with Vodafone España? The opposite.

Sign up for fibre. Contracts are signed. Installation is booked. Then suddenly… it turns out fibre can’t even be installed at your location!

So you’re pushed to a “Plan B” mobile-based solutions. In reality, little better than hotspotting from a phone. Not exactly enterprise-grade connectivity.

Then come the contracts, difficult to escape.

Once installed, the issues only grow:

• Unexpected charges appear, with unclear explanations
• Features are activated without consent, yet don’t function properly
• Bills arrive linked to completely incorrect addresses, sometimes places you’ve never even lived

In Spain, having correct address documentation matters. Try fixing it? That’s where things really unravel.

You call. They “can’t find” your address.
You provide it again. It gets sent to a “team.”
Days pass. Nothing changes.
You call again.

This cycle repeats… over and over.

Meanwhile, a simple search on Google Maps shows the address clearly, a street that’s existed for over 25 years. But somehow, one of the world’s largest telecom companies can’t locate it… or call you back… on any of the multiple lines you’re paying for.

Eventually, someone helpful steps in. Progress? Almost.

Correct street… wrong town.

Close enough? Not when the next bill lands at €100+ and still reflects an address you’ve never lived at.

Even attempting to leave becomes an obstacle. You call to complain or cancel, and are told to email or WhatsApp… while already on the phone with a telecom provider.

This isn’t just a bad experience, it’s a warning.

Because while legacy telecom giants struggle with basic service delivery, the world is moving fast:

Starlink is redefining connectivity, fast, global, infrastructure-light
Local providers are often outperforming national giants with better service and accountability

What happens to companies that can’t even manage billing, installation, or customer support in 2025… when they’re forced to compete with AI and satellite-based global internet!

IRONMAN LANZAROTE – THE END OF AN ERA? 💭

After 34 incredible years, 2026 will mark the final IRONMAN Lanzarote organised by Club La Santa — bringing to a close one of the most iconic partnerships in triathlon history.

Since its first race on May 30, 1992, this event has grown into one of the most legendary and respected races on the global IRONMAN calendar. What started with just 148 athletes quickly became known as one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world — a race where “normal limits do not apply.”

From the Atlantic swim in Puerto del Carmen, to the brutal winds and volcanic climbs through Timanfaya National Park, Mirador de Haria and Mirador del Río, before finishing along the coastal run — Lanzarote has always demanded everything from its athletes.

Over the years, some of the sport’s greatest names have raced here, including Paula Newby-Fraser, Jan Frodeno, Lucy Charles-Barclay, Peter Reid, Luc Van Lierde and Thomas Hellriegel, helping cement its reputation as a true test of endurance.

The race itself was the vision of Kenneth Gasque, who saw similarities between Lanzarote and Kona and helped bring IRONMAN racing to the island — not just creating a race, but helping transform Lanzarote into a world-class training destination. With year-round sunshine, challenging terrain, and elite facilities at Club La Santa, the island became a magnet for athletes worldwide.

But success has also brought challenges.

Participation peaked at over 2,000 athletes in 2014, but numbers have fluctuated in recent years, especially post-COVID. Added competition from mainland races like IRONMAN Barcelona and IRONMAN Vitoria-Gasteiz, alongside ongoing licensing negotiations, ultimately led to this split.

Despite this, IRONMAN has confirmed the race is expected to continue from 2027, with discussions ongoing to secure its long-term future.

So now the question is…

👉 Is this the start of a new era — or the beginning of the end for one of triathlon’s most iconic races?

We hope the legacy continues. Because races like Lanzarote don’t come around often.

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero.
Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway.

Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments.

Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China.
Lets fail to improve gas storage facilities, Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees.

Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

Warning to Drivers: Passing Cyclists Improperly is Illegal

Drivers who overtake cyclists without moving into the opposite lane are breaking the law. If caught passing within the same lane—trying to "squeeze by"—you risk a fixed penalty of £100 and 3 points on your licence.
If contested in court, fines can rise up to £5,000, with 3 to 9 penalty points possible. These cases have been successfully prosecuted.

Close passes don’t just break the law—they cause serious injuries and, tragically, fatalities. With more cyclists using GoPros and bike cameras, evidence is easier than ever to capture.
Is it really worth the risk?

Share the road. Pass wide. Stay safe. Share the roads.
