Sponsored by The Canary Guide And November is here. We have been truly blessed with the very tropical weather all week across the whole island and though the warm weather should continue throughout the weekend, temperatures may drop a few degrees, except in the south which forecasters predict should maintain highs of around 30ºC in the shade.  The weather continues its unpredictable Autumn behaviour with some possibility of clouds and even rain in places.

A lovely weekend to follow Halloween, the Day of The Dead and the Noche de Finaos, and includes a bank holiday on Friday. Culture and solidarity are the order of the weekend in the North West at Bioagaete, and the main event for this weekend has got to be the Canary Islands Regional Wine, Cheese and Honey fair up in Valsequillo.

Friday, 1st of November is a National bank holiday so government buildings, offices and banks will be closed, as may some of the Shopping centres and stores, though many never truly close their doors, so a good idea to double check.  Try asking such questions on the Jobs & Help GC facebook group page…

1-2 NOVEMBER, AGAETE
BIOAGAETE CULTURAL SOLIDARIO

The BioAgaete culture and solidarity festival had to be postponed due to the forest fire on Gran Canaria in August. The Festival was originally conceived with an ultimate goal of helping those who need it most, thanks to the collaboration of all participants. Each year, several causes are proposed, one of which will receive primary benefit from the annual edition of the event.

Despite being reduced to two days of activities, it will be compensated with a very rich programme of workshops, talks, music, sport and culture

During the festival in Puerto de la Nieves there is music, workshops, children’s activities, markets, dancing, crafts and them some.

You can see their full program of activities here
