In a world where politicians continually remind us of the need for austerity in a bid to finally overcome the worldwide recession, we are becoming a society that is content to witness a growing demand for food banks, child poverty and the homeless on our streets. These issues are not confined to inner city London, San Francisco or Madrid, but are also present in the relatively wealthy Canary Islands, a holidaymaker’s paradise – for some anyway.
