The seven municipalities of Lanzarote install giant screens to follow the World Cup final Spain-Argentina. Bars and terraces are finalising their arrangements for a historic night.
The Spanish national team plays this Sunday for its second star in the World Cup against Argentina, and Lanzarote is preparing to experience it as a community. The seven municipalities of the island have organised broadcasts on giant screens, while bars and terraces are finalising their arrangements to host thousands of fans.
Arrecife, the epicentre of the celebration
The capital concentrates two of the main meeting points. The City Council has installed a giant screen in the Theme Park, next to El Reducto, in the Lava Live area. The security measures have been reinforced in anticipation of a large influx of people.
The Valterra square will also offer the broadcast, organised by the Neighbourhood Association in honour of the Virgin of Carmen, following the traditional maritime procession. There, locals and visitors can follow the match in a festive atmosphere.
Screens across the island
In Haría, the gathering is at La Garita beach in Arrieta, where a giant screen will allow viewers to watch the match under the stars. Teguise has chosen the Pueblo Marinero in Costa Teguise as the meeting point, while Tías will broadcast in the El Varadero square in Puerto del Carmen.
San Bartolomé will gather fans in the León y Castillo square, and Tinajo will set up its screen in the San Roque square. In the south, Yaiza will show the final in the Plaza del Carmen in Playa Blanca, coinciding with the local patronal festivities.
Bars and terraces ready for the big moment
In addition to public spaces, numerous establishments on the island have installed screens to follow the match. In Arrecife, a particularly lively atmosphere is expected in the areas of El Reducto and the Charco de San Ginés, where bars and terraces have expanded their outdoor seating and strengthened their service.
The main tourist towns are also preparing to welcome residents and visitors. Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, and Costa Teguise will have multiple establishments from which to enjoy the final in a festive atmosphere. Restaurateurs have anticipated an increase in staff to meet demand.
The island is thus rallying for a final that could allow Spain to once again proclaim itself world champion and embroider the second star on its shirt, following the title won in 2010. For the people of Lanzarote, the occasion is unique: to see the national team in a World Cup final and share the excitement in the streets.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 21:00 hours, inviting everyone to go out and enjoy the night. From 20:00, the broadcast points will open their doors to welcome fans. It is recommended to arrive early to secure a good spot.
The final pits two powerhouses of world football against each other. Spain, champion in 2010, seeks its second title; Argentina, the reigning champion, aims to defend its crown. The atmosphere in Lanzarote promises to be unforgettable, with a passionate fanbase dreaming of victory.
