A lovely long week ahead as the leisurely holiday season continues here on Gran Canaria. Monday, 1 January is officially a national bank holiday and then the Twelfth night, the Epiphany, preceded by the Noche del Reyes Magos, Night of The Kings, the spectacular finale to the season. There are many parties, festivities, concerts, markets, and awesome parades to enjoy. Go find something special
NEW YEAR, NOCHE VIEJA
As we usher in the New Year’s Eve weekend, contemplate some of the sub-tropical activities available on our island of winter-sunshine. The commencement of 2024 celebrations will unfold across Gran Canaria at parties hosted by town halls, numerous bars and restaurants, accompanied by numerous fireworks displays. The most notable and popular locations include the main beach in the capital, Las Canteras, Anfi Beach in the south, The Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse (hosting lavish parties in many hotels with impressive displays), and Playa del Inglés. A traditional Spanish touch to your celebration is to partake in the eating of 12 grapes at midnight—one for each stroke of the bells, meant to promote good luck for the coming year.
Numerous events are scheduled by larger towns on the island. Some municipalities have organised daytime New Year celebrations, ensuring that the entire family can revel in the festivities together.
Wherever you find yourself on Gran Canaria this New Year’s, welcoming 2024, we extend our wishes for a Happy New Year. May you thoroughly relish the final weekend of 2023. See you in the new year.
REYES MAGOS
Twelfth Night, also known as the Epiphany, is heralded by the Noche del Reyes Magos, or the Night of the Kings – the grand culmination of the holiday season. During this enchanting time, it is anticipated that Three Wise Men will visit every home in the kingdom.
For Spanish children, this period is the pinnacle of magical illusions. The cherished tradition dictates that Los Reyes Magos, or the Three Wise Men, are the bearers of children’s gifts on the Day of the Epiphany, which falls on the 6th of January. Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, make a grand entrance at Street Parades in major towns, celebrated across Gran Canaria on the 5th of january, the Noche de Los Reyes Magos.
Throughout Spain, towns and cities, including those on the island, will host extravagant events and parades on this special day. Aimed primarily at the youngest members of the family, these festivities welcome strangers from distant lands who arrive in various imaginative modes of transport – be it speed boats, parachutes, helicopters, horseback, or jet skis. Each wise man is presented with a magical key by the local mayor, allowing them to enter each of the townspeoples’ homes and leave behind something special.
Two of the most enchanting parades in Gran Canaria take place in the capital and the picturesque eastern town of Agüimes, and in the ancient Royal Capital, Gáldar.
In contemporary times, the approach to this 12th day of Christmas feels like a bustling shopping spree. With Santa Claus playing an increasingly prominent role, many children receive two sets of gifts to celebrate the season of goodwill. For bargain hunters, the good news is that the January sales kick off promptly after this festive day concludes.
Another cherished tradition in Spain is the Roscón de Reyes. You may have encountered this sweet circular cake adorned with candied fruit in various shops, where the fruit symbolizes the precious gems from the Wise Men’s clothing.

At the moment long range weather forecast is looking promising up to Reyes Magos, with sunshine, and some cloud cover. It is good the remember though that predicting weather is a bit more difficult during the winter season.
