What a fabulous night we had, even though we missed the Bands at the Cultural Centre this year! We arrived too late and soon found they were half way through their final number and then they started packing away, oops. Here are some photos of the evening’s festivities:

Three Kings Day Parade 2013
Here is the poster for the 2013 Three Kings Day Parade in Los Cristianos. It says it is starting at 16:00 hrs, but, well, it could be a bit later than that based on past years! Still, I think it is well worth the wait to see the parade through the streets of Los Cristianos from…
Our Christmas Party 2012
Although it is a rule that employees cannot take their partners to the Office Parties, with Cathy and I both working at the same place we get away with it! Here are the photos that we took last week at our 2012 Christmas Party which started off on our resort, Flamingo Club and then finished…
Night of the Fires
Here are some of Cathy’s photos from the Night of the Fires in Los Cristianos, Tenerife this weekend.
Alan, Coast FM & Teide
What a day! I guess it really started around midnight (well they usually do) we were still in the Irish Times in Los Cristianos enjoying the entertainment being provided by Mark and Spoons Paul. Not really sure what time we left but then Cathy (being Cathy) suggested a stop off at that 24 hour café for a barraquito…
Just Going for a Walk
Last year my friend Alan walked the length of Lanzarote and raised in the region of £1,300 for the two charities he supports. This year he’s going a little further! Alan Gandy, one of the partners in Gandy-Draper, is currently walking across the seven main islands that make up the Canaries and in doing so…
Burning of the Sardine
Last night was the ‘Burning of the Sardine’ here in Los Cristianos and Elinor took the camera out to record the event. Here is a video clip, apologies for the quality, but I hope you will be able to see the action OK! According to the Arona website, the event is: … a grotesque funeral…
Entertainer in Tenerife
We had heard about this Leapy Lee character being in Tenerife at the moment and so decided to go and check him out on Thursday night. Like most people, (well those that remember his name), we could only think of one song, that’s right, ‘Little Arrows’ and so have to admit we were not sure…
Birthday Surprise
Well, after weeks of planning and trying to keep it quiet Elinor’s surprise for her 15th birthday worked a treat. Eli had hoped her eldest brother, Chris could visit from the UK for her birthday however he had explained that it would not be possible as he had recently visited and couldn’t get the time…
Reyes in Tenerife
Last night was the first time for a good few years that we have missed the procession for Reyes in Los Cristianos but to be honest neither Cathy or I were well enough to go and jostle with the crowds yesterday! I have seen a few photos already (courtesy of Daniel Cetrulo for Arona on…
