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…
Happy New Year!
We would like to wish all of our friends, relatives and readers of The Beach a very Happy New Year for 2011.

Fountain
Well, last time it was on was the weekend of June 18th and it was on again last night! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1VKwCpi-Tk] It is turned off again this morning though, wonder if it is on a timer for once every 6 months? Update: Here is the announcement from Arona Turismo (04.01.2011)

Still Testing in Los Cristianos
You can’t rush these things, well certainly not in Tenerife anyway. Our new water feature was first tested on the 18th June and since then they have been back out with their spanners again.

We have only just recovered … Rob and the team at Dreamers really looked after us and the Buffet was superb. We had Simply Mo and Celtic-Con-Fusion singing all night and a few guest singers…
