Derelict 60s beach resort in Lanzarote

[paul1010]

This abandoned beach resort was next to our holiday resort on the north coast of Lanzarote, so I took the opportunity of shooting a short film about it.

I'd heard that some of La Santa was an old WW2 U boat base, some of the concrete features you show may be some of the old base filled in.

U boats at La Santa?

I'd heard that some of La Santa was an old WW2 U boat base, some of the concrete features you show may be some of the old base filled in.

Interesting.
There does seem to be some discussion about 'secret U boat bases in the Canaries', but after a bit of googling, I'd say the consensus is it's all over-heated imaginations, and some sloppy journalism in a 2005 article in Canarian newspaper LA PROVINCIA.

This thread covers it farily thoroughly.

I didn't find any link at all to La Santa.
