So, excess baggage pre booked on line, bags packed and off to the UK. That was me on Wednesday, dreading the change in temperature, leaving 24 degrees and expecting minus figures when I arrived. After a delay (inevitable these days apparently) we set off and after a good flight I am setting foot on the [...]

Dia de Los Reyes
Nowadays a lot of the children here in Tenerife seem to receive some gifts from Father Christmas or Papa Noel as well as in the more traditional way in the early hours on 6th January, the day known as Dia de Los Reyes or 3 Kings Day. This is the day, of course, when the [...]
