A scenic nature reserve in Tenerife could be set to introduce limits on its visitor numbers in a bid to protect its natural heritage and fragile ecosystem.

A local council in Tenerife has passed a motion aimed at restricting tourist access, particularly by private vehicles, to Anaga Rural Park, a highland of mountains in the northern region of the island.
