Hidalgo affirmed that beach users will finally have a spa "in perfect condition and magnificent, in a space that had become a black point of the beach of Las Canteras and today is one of the highlights and of the jewels of the beach and the city, which still has pieces to complete, but which today is a magnificent place to walk ". Work will continue, he said, so that as soon as possible the whole set planned by the Consistory, which includes the Red Cross and the new Library, which already have the necessary funding, is finished.

Pablo Rodríguez stressed that the spa is located in an area "that is becoming iconic for the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, after the opening of the catwalk." As he recalled, this area has radically changed "and today we can boast of a high-quality space that has earned citizenship", thanks to the contribution made through the Canary Islands Development Fund (Fdcan), which is serving to improve important form public spaces of the Archipelago, like this one of Las Canteras.

José Eduardo Ramírez affirmed that "the recovery of La Cícer continues in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria" and highlighted that the government team of the City Council has been able to return to Las Canteras a space that until recently was an authentic bullfight, but that Now it has radically changed with a catwalk and some premises for public use such as this spa, modern facilities and equipped with all services, "which will improve the benefits that a beach like ours requires," he said.
