Santa Claus and his entourage appeared at dusk this Monday, December 23 on Limones Street in Playa Blanca, stirring up, and in what way, the eve of Christmas Eve in the commercial area of the tourist center, where dozens of families gathered to follow the figure most requested these days on the route he made with children's characters from near the port to the small roundabout in the town.
Children and adults enjoyed the parade, took photos and videos, joining the parade of joy that ended in a space set up for boys and girls to deliver their gift requests and take a snapshot for the memory.
Playa Blanca thus experienced a new festive afternoon full of illusion and coexistence between neighbors and visitors within the playful, cultural, festive and sports program that ends with the Three Kings parades on January 5 in Yaiza at 12:30 p.m. and Playa Blanca at 6:00 p.m. The Yaiza parade will be this year at noon and not in the afternoon as in recent years.
But from now until the arrival of Melchior, Gaspar and Balatsar there is much to enjoy in the municipality of Yaiza. On Thursday the 26th in the afternoon, folk groups perform in the Plaza de Playa Blanca, while on Friday the 27th, in this same square, the stage group Los Desiguales from the Creciendo Association takes to the stage.
On Friday there is also a concert by the Municipal School of Folklore and the Janubio band scheduled, on Sunday, December 29 in the morning will be the Solidarity Race along the southern promenade starting in the Playa Dorada area, and in the afternoon, the Encuentro de Ranchos de Pascua in the church of Femés. The City Council encourages participation by consulting the complete program with dates and locations on the website of the Consistory.
