Unfortunately, there has not been significant change in activity and the eruption continues to feed the growing lava flow field at high effusion rates.
In particular, the northern margins of it continue to be active and slowly advance in the area of La Laguna, the southern part of which already is buried under the lava flows.
As a consequence, the government needed to decide to evacuate another adjacent area, between the center of Tazacorte and La Laguna, as shown on the map, Las Martelas in the municipality of Los Llanos de Aridane, Marina Alta, Marina Baja, La Condesa y Cuesta Zapata in the municipality of Tazacorte:
