Jump to #WeekendTipsIt’s a Christmas “Puente” , a long festive weekend ahead with Monday being a bank holiday in Spain. Many wonderful seasonal markets, concerts and Santas to visit and enjoy before everything calms down a little for the holiday season. If you are looking for that special Yule Time feeling with decoration and lights, Gáldar is probably a top choice. It’s good to remember that any adverse weather condition might cause outdoor events to be changed, cancelled/postponed, but all in all the brief rains of Thursday and Friday, should start to give way to clear blue skies and perhaps even a touch of snow on Mount Teide.
Here the christmas elves have gathered events and festive days from all across Gran Canaria including parades, holiday trains, and markets for you to choose from. 🎅🎄🎁 The ever so busy Santa Claus can also be seen this weekend in many places and yes, he is that fast. He comes from Lappland after all.
Next weekend will also be a long “Puente” weekend as 1st of January lands on Monday, so there are two festive weekends and more than 12 days in a row followed by the main gift giving day throughout Spain on January 5, the eve of the epiphany.
The Canary Guide #Weekendtips wishes you and your family very Merry Christmas!
