If someone is asking about coming to live in the Canary Islands it’s hard to know what to advise – if you live here and made the move you often know instinctively who is going to make it and who won’t. But those who are almost guaranteed to get the most out of their time here are those who see the full picture and are willing to take the plunge and find out what the real Canaries, beyond the sea and sun, are all about.

Tourism awards

Canarian prize winners

The latest Holly awards which are voted for by holiday giants TUI customers saw the Canaries coming up roses. A total of 19 Holly awards were made to local hotels, 31 in total for Spain out of the 100 up for grabs. The nearest rival was Turkey with 20. A full list of 2010 winners can be seen at www.tui-qualitysupport.de/en/homepage. : Hotel Jardín Tecina’s director of marketing and sales Camilla von Guggenberg is seen here collecting the Holly.

The celebrations lasted longer than the day in question, Norman told us, as this was very definitely a “once in a lifetime event”. When he and Edna returned to Tenerife there was another surprise in store. Norman thought he was attending a charity evening at Westhaven Bay in Costa del Silencio, and even when a red Rolls Royce collected him from home he didn’t suspect anything, but when the couple arrived they were greeted by over 80 friends and colleagues who were there to congratulate him on years of charity work very well done.

Isla de Hielo is the name of the Santa Cruz council’s plans for the festive season. The main measure is to convert the lake in the centre of the Plaza de España into an ice rink for Christmas. The rink, which will have a capacity for some 80 people, will be open to the public every day from 10am to midnight non-stop, including fiestas, from December 3rd until January 10th. If you don’t want to skate, there will be seating where you can just sit and watch all the winter activity. It is hoped that this ice rink, which will occupy 600 square metres and be filled with ice eight to ten centimetres deep, will attract thousands of visitors to the

Second shop opens in Gran Canaria Following the successful opening of their first Canarian store, Primark have just opened their second in the CC El Mirador, Jinamar creating over 208 jobs. The company, which still retains its headquarters in Dublin, opened its first Spanish store in 2006, and now boasts over 3,000 employees throughout the country in 18 shops, and despite the economic crisis has reported a growth of 18 per cent in total sales in 2010, a pattern which shoppers here in Tenerife are hoping will see the open a large outlet here in the not too distant future. Geared towards the under 35 market, Primark enjoys huge success due to its excellent price:quality ratio, and as the company deals directly with suppliers they work to keep their prices

Primark has also, in recent years, seen its image and customer base expand to cover all markets, and has won over a public that used to assume lower prices meant a drop in quality. Already plane and car loads of eager shoppers are heading over to Gran Canaria on a regular basis to enjoy Primark value for money, but if rumours are to believed they might have a shop of their own in Tenerife before the summer of 2011.

Navidad, Navidad!! December 24th and 25th

Christmas traditions in Spain are quite different from the UK. Christmas Eve (nochebuena), is an important evening for families, who usually gather for a special meal, then many attend the midnight mass (Misa del Gallo). In Taganana and La Matanza this is followed by the Baile del Niño (Dance of the Child) where young men wearing traditional costumes dance in procession in front of the statue of the newborn child inside the church. The small town of Tigaiga near Los Realejos is transformed into

a recreation of various places which were significant in the life of Jesus. Most towns and villages are decorated with lights and garlands, and beautiful nativity scenes (Belenes). Many of these towns will have held a contest beforehand for the best Belén. Christmas Day is a day for visiting family members. The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra performs a very popular concert in the port area of Santa Cruz that evening. New Year’s Eve (nochevieja) is party time, with dancing to live bands in most town centres. With each

chime of the clock at midnight, you must eat a grape (make your wish first). Magnificent fireworks displays follow, with champagne and dancing into the early hours.

Chicago... and all that jazz Auditorio de Tenerife, December 26 to January 2

Chicago, the musical, comes to the Auditorio de Tenerife in Santa Cruz on December 26th. Assassinations, jealousy, corruption, adultery and treachery – they’re all in Chicago, one of the most spectacular musicals of our time which has spent 13 years on Broadway and London’s West End. Written by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by John Kander and Fred Ebb’s own lyrics, it has been seen by more than 17 million people all over the world and has broken all ticket sales records in Madrid since its premiere in 2009. No wonder, with songs like All That Jazz, When You’re Good to Mama,

Razzle Dazzle and Cell Block Tango! In Tenerife there will be 11 shows at various times in the evenings, and then Chicago will continue its tour, moving on to Las Palmas with performances from January 6th to 21st. Tickets, from €30 to €50, are on sale now, for more information call 902 317 327 or visit www. auditoriodetenerife.com

Christmas Concert, Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and the Mississippi Gospel Choir December 25th, 10pm, Los Llanos Port, Santa Cruz

This annual open air concert is one of the highlights of Christmas in Santa Cruz and is usually televised live on TV Canarias if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the trip to the capital. Probably could be compared to a Night at the Proms, as the orchestra play a range of favourite songs, medleys, well known classical pieces, and all wreathed in seasonal delights. This year they are joined by the Mississippi Gospel Choir.

Luke Ramsay

Luke Ramsay may not look like a miracle worker, he may not even sound like a miracle worker, but for more than a few people with back problems who have passed through his hands he has worked what is as close to a miracle as they can get. Back problems in all their manifestations seem to be the scourge of modern living. Certainly for people who pass most of their day sitting in an office and/or spending hours behind the wheel of a car this is true. Add to that the stress of 21st century living, where there’s too little emphasis on health and too much on speed and delivery, it’s no surprise that we are suffering from more and more spinal related injuries. Luke Ramsay is a practicing Chiropractor and board certified Craniopath, now based in Palm Mar just opposite CC Muelle de Génova (he was previously in El Madroñal). Surprisingly Spain is one of the few countries that has still to recognise chiropractic as an official branch 12

of medicine, but this is changing, and more and more people are coming to Luke with back problems that they have unsuccessfully had treated elsewhere. And while his skills might not yet have a Spanish licence, his growing patient list here includes many Spaniards who are quickly convinced of the value of the treatment they can avail of in his consultancy. Luke, it must also be stressed, has a full medical background, and will also refer you for alternative or conventional forms of treatment if he feels he is not the right person to help. One of the problems that Luke is seeing more and more of among his patients is herniated discs, which causes a

variety of ailments, including back pain, leg pain, or weakness of the lower extremity muscles. As we get older the gel between the spinal discs becomes thinner and if cracks form in the disc, bulges appear, cracks form, creating pressure on the nerves. The causes are many, the cures few. The symptoms to look out for, says Luke, are a slight s-shape in your body when you look in the mirror, pain in the buttocks and down the legs, pins and needles, tenderness and pain in the legs that is worsening. If Luke suspects this is what you are suffering from he will possibly send you for an MRI scan, a form of high tech x-ray that will produce a 3-D image of 13

your back and the problem area. If you are suffering from a herniated disc Luke will be able to help you, and has, as well as his chiropractor training, years of training in neurology. Luke will assess your individual situation and talk you through your options. If he does feel he can help (and in the vast majority of cases he can), he will offer you a course of sessions – but he is also very clear about what he can and cannot do and won’t promise miracles or expect you to pay the earth. Treatments are gentle, using a specialised bed that moves your limbs as he manipulates. He will also advise on precautions to take in day to day 14

stuff, like taking shopping from the trolley to the car, or clothes from the washing machine, to ensure you don’t further damage your back. He can and may also refer you on to the clinic’s resident physiotherapist Dorothy Collinson for further attention, massage and exercises. He has helped many people who thought they had run out of pain-relief options. Why not call in and see him and see if he can do the same for you?

Christmas shopping in La Laguna A trip to La Laguna can not only take you on a journey back in time, but it could well turn out to be one of the best places to do your Christmas shopping. La Laguna is situated in the north east of Tenerife, in the Valle de Aguere between the Rural Park of Anaga and the mountain of La Esperanza. Steeped in history, and originally the capital of the island, this city is where Spanish troops won the final battle against Guanche resistance, thus completing the conquest of Tenerife in 1496 and leading to the island’s incorporation into Spain. Following this defeat, the city (then in Aguere) was founded the next year as the Villa de San Cristóbal. This settlement was soon moved further inland to its current location where it would be less susceptible to pirate attacks. This new area also benefitted from fertile soil for cultivation and a nearby supply of drinking water. Thus La Laguna was born, initially centred around the actual Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de La Concepción.

Most of La Laguna‘s shops are set amongst grand monuments and historic buildings

La Laguna has excellent public transport links and plenty of car parks

Since then, La Laguna has gradually expanded. Due to the economic development of Santa Cruz, the city lost its title of capital in 1843, but despite this it is still a cultural capital. This was recognised internationally when it was named Patrimonio de la Humanidad by Unesco on December 2nd 1999. The streets of the heart of La Laguna, most of which dates back to the 16th century, now form an open air shopping centre with a variety of shops set amongst grand monuments and historic buildings. It is a fairly active shopping area, where small family businesses which have survived through the years now mix with modern shops and exquisite boutiques. This is where you can find plenty of typical handmade objects, first class fashion, perfumes, electronic goods, Tenerife wines, and a wide variety of fresh food products from more than 20 stalls in the municipal market in the Plaza del Cristo. Here, you could find that unique gift that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else. The centre of La Laguna has not changed much over the years. The configuration of the streets remains the same, some buildings have been lost, new ones have been built, and others have been restored. But the skeleton of the city remains the same, and the majority of the historic centre has now been pedestrianised, making it a safe place to be for all ages. Look up, and you will see typical Canarian balconies and carved wooden windows together with

characteristic roofs covered by endemic plants. On ground level, there are beautiful plazas, lush gardens, and after dark, theatre and music in the streets. Add to this the delightful Christmas lighting, and you have a magical wonderland brimming with cultural activity. La Laguna is dedicated to science and culture, so in between shopping you could visit one of the many art exhibition rooms or museums. One which is certain to surprise both adults and children is the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos where some of the secrets of the Universe are revealed. If you are spending a whole day in the city, hunger is bound to strike sooner or later. La Laguna has a variety of tascas and restaurants where you can enjoy traditional dishes or creative cuisine, all made with fresh local products. There are also many international restaurants to choose from. If you are just peckish, try some of La Lagunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local pastries and sweets, either in a cafĂŠ or buy from a specialist shop where these delights are handmade on the premises. If you are staying after dark, marvel at the festive lighting, and maybe attend a performance at the beautifully renovated Teatro Leal. All in all, a visit to La Laguna at this time of year will not only provide a great cultural day out, but a different and unusual centre for some Christmas shopping in a unique atmosphere. december 2010

New Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupé With the CLS, Mercedes-Benz created a new vehicle category in 2003 which for the first time combined the elegance and dynamism of a coupé with the comfort and functionality of a saloon. The public were delighted, the competition astounded and a style icon was born: for years the CLS has endured as the only four-door coupé in its class, and since October 2004 it has been the car chosen by around 170,000 buyers worldwide who want the best or nothing. Premiered at the 2010 Paris motor show, the new CLS Coupé continues to evolve, bringing refined sportiness to life. The CLS is styled as a classic coupé with a distintive front. The second generation of this design trendsetter has adopted a new look. Its proportions remain as spectacular as ever: long bonnet, narrowlook windows with frameless side windows and dynamic roof sweeping back at an angle towards the rear. What immediately strikes the eye is the innovative front design, which is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Visually, the

radiator grille is not integrated into the bonnet but is formed separately. This highlights the long, sporty bonnet even further. The grille is dominated by the large central star, which underlines the car’s relationship to the other coupés of the brand and also enhances brand identity. The large, elongated dark air inlets with black grilles also add to the vehicle’s athletic appearance. The front edge of the structure, above the mudguards, which slopes off towards the rear, is not only a novel design feature but also represents a new interpretation of a formal design element harking back to the uniquely rich wealth of shapes and forms present in historic Mercedes sports cars. A distinctive and muscular sports car-like shoulder line above the rear axle highlights the athletic character of the new CLS. The flared wheel arches resemble the powerful thighs of a feline predator waiting to pounce. The side view is rounded off with wide wraparound tail lights featuring LED technology which are arranged in the form of a linking element to the rear of the vehicle. The shape is

emphasised by the broad shoulder line, which is clearly visible from behind and supports the flat hardtop. A wide metal insert adds a further visual highlight at the rear. Another distinguishing feature comes in the form of the full LED headlamps, which are the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first to offer all of the regular dynamic light functions using LED technology. Inside they are divided into three arrow-shaped layers from top to bottom: the upper layer contains an LED indicator, beneath which is a striking LED side light offering LED low beam functions. The side light can also be seen when the dipped beam function is switched on, thereby creating a novel and separate night-time design and distinctive look. The lowest level of the headlamp houses the main beam and nightview functions. A total of 71 LEDs not only provide an unmistakable appearance, but also a significantly enhanced view of the road compared with previous systems. The interior of the CLS is also distinguished by a timeless design which combines straightforward elegance with innovative details and

handcrafted perfection. The CLS has a wide variety of personalisation options: five interior colours, five trim designs and also three qualities of leather. The materials used comprise an exciting mixture of satin and high-gloss finishes used on the metal surfaces. Highlights include matt galvanised air vents, which form the ideal framework for a high-gloss-trimmed analogue clock. Handcrafted perfection is reflected in details such as the stitched seat covers or the so-called sewn covering for the dashboard, all hand sewn. The particularly fine leather meets the highest standards in terms of both look and feel. The new CLS is supplied with two V6 engine options, the 3-litre diesel CLS 350 CDI Blue Efficiency and the 3.5 litre petrol CLS 350 Blue Efficiency. Both are linked to a 7-GTronic gearbox and can reach a maximum speed of 250 kilometres per hour with average CO2 emissions of 159 to 164g/km.

Zena and the art of great food There’s food, and there are restaurants; there’s pizzas and pastas and Italian restaurants, and then there’s Zena. Located in C/ Austria, San Eugenio Alto, walk into Zena and within seconds you feel you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle you may have left behind. Owner Alessandro has worked some form of magic with his chosen interior theme, for while the food may be some of the best Italian and international cuisine you have tasted, you could be in Bali or Thailand, Rio de Janeiro or Maui, with

swathes of fronded plants hanging down to create shapes and sensations. Tables and chairs are solid and wooden, with some delightful inlay designed in the tables, and rope and wicker chairs with the restaurant‘s name stamped discretely into the wood. Wicker screens are in use around the space allowing the staff to create a variety of settings, from intimate to party, and with a variety of table sizes Zena can cater for couples to groups of twenty, without any necessary bothersome furniture manipulation. There’s also an upper terrace for pre or post drinks or private parties. The menu, as mentioned, is international, but with Italian overtones, and the staff are, in fact, all Italian. If you weren’t sure, the presence of the roaring sweet smelling wood oven that‘s cooking your pizzas and breads would be something of a giveaway. The menu is also delightfully different to the run of the mill restaurants which promise ‘Mediterranean’ but all they offer is ten varieties of steak and chips, frozen fish or half a chicken. Here at Zena the food is cooked with flair and zing and more than some imagination. We sampled the quite amazing Foccacia de queso, fine layers of pizza style base with a melting filling of cheese – devoured in seconds by all in our party, including the sometimes picky five year old, who

too crunchy, tomato and mozzarella in ideal proportions, and a simple ham topping. We were fighting over the last piece. But there’s so much more to enjoy here food wise, with a terrific meat and fish selection – steaks with cheese fondue, a variety of freshly prepared sauces, chicken breast with mushroom sauce, Bream or Sea Bass cooked in salt, prawns Provençal, or grilled lobster. Desserts – Tiramisu, Profiteroles, Panna Cotta, ice creams galore, crêpes, and chocolate desserts and pieces that will tempt even the most serious calorie watchers. Wines are abundant and well selected to suit all the dishes on offer, just ask the very friendly and professional waiting staff. On the evening we were there it was obvious

that Zena enjoys a huge return clientele as many guests were greeted as old friends by the staff, though new clients were just as well attended. And that aforementioned bouncy castle has made the great eatery even more family friendly and on the night we were there, there was a table of mothers with their six to nine year olds, who were happy to bounce the evening away, with pizza in between, as the delighted mothers enjoyed a relaxed dinner in wonderful surrounds. Zena is open 1pm – 4pm, 7pm – 11.30pm, will close on December 24th but open on December 25th. They are already taking bookings for their December 31st New Year’s Eve party, which will feature a set menu, all inclusive price, live music, and lots and lots of fun. Booking is recommended, call 667 330 870. december 2010

Submarine fiesta For the sixth year running, the Hotel Sheraton La Caleta held a fun fiesta at the end of October for all its suppliers, collaborators and staff to thank them for their efforts. Neptune, mermaids and numerous marine animal figures were there to entertain in an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;under the seaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; atmosphere. It was a colourful event with cocktails and a specialist seafood buffet. The guests, who included travel agents, incentives and congress agencies, local press and providers as well as members of the Ayuntamiento of Adeje and Disa, all had a whale of a time during the party which ended with a laser show disco.

The Glass Spider There’s nothing itsy bitsy about this bar, or the only resident spider, Arfer, a giant, glitzy, glimmering stuffed toy spider who hovers over his guests.

Paul and Debbs are the owners of this new bar which opened in the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos at the end of August. Debbs is a big David Bowie fan and the name of the bar was inspired by his 1987 tour, The Glass Spider. Comfy rattan sofas, chairs and coffee tables sit under canvas pergolas on the terrace for those of us who prefer the great outdoors, or high-backed bar stools, dining chairs and tables wait within. Children are made welcome with colouring books and crayons and your dogs are welcome too as the bar does not sell food. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t eat there. They are more than happy for customers to bring their own food or order a takeaway to be delivered there if they want. This is a chill out, get together drinks bar with great staff, drinks, acts and lots of fun. Clients, a totally mixed bunch from across the board, come to watch premium sports events on the giant screen, enjoy the entertainment and of course to be amused by resident raconteur, Paul. It’s a grand atmosphere, friendly and fun and there’s always someone to chat to and have a laugh with. Cocktail drinkers can choose to sip a mojito or a margarita, or try a Glass Spider or Sex on the Beach. Wine is by the glass or the litre, house and Echo

Tenerife Wines In the 16th and 17th centuries, Tenerife wines occupied a prominant place in the national and international markets. Malvasia wine was a luxury product which was served at the tables of the principal European monarchs, and at the noble and bourgeois class banquets of the old continent and Latin America. The prestige attached to some of the varieties was so high that literary greats of the era, such as Sir Walter Scott, Góngora and William Shakespeare, mentioned them in their works. 300 years later, Tenerife’s wines have recovered that brilliance. The chain of prizes they have gathered over the last decade in the most prestigious national and international contests are evidence of their actual expansion. The grape varieties, the climate and the pecularities of the volcanic soil have given the essence to the island’s wines, making them unique with their variety of aromas and tastes. The new image, fruit of the unity of the handcrafting tradition and the latest technologies, is of a high quality product with incomparable originality and personality. 42

Denominations of origin, the environment and landscape The ample range of Tenerife wines is supported by five denominations of origin: Tacoronte-Acentejo, Valle de La Orotava, Abona, Ycoden-Daute-Isora and Valle de Güímar) which cover the island. They are regulated by their respective regulating councils, whose creation has allowed the sector to be modernised and developed, based on quality criteria, but with respect for traditions. This in turn has allowed for the conservation of traditional ancestral countryside and the sustainable development of Tenerife Rural. Nowadays, visitors to the island and residents are shown the qualities of Tenerife’s wines, as much for their varieties and enological excellence as for the environmental and cultural values they represent. To develop enotourism, the wines are being shown to the population, both residents and visitors, who are taken to see the production areas. This generates feelings towards conservation and valuing rural areas. Wine production is now one of the main forms of agriculture in Tenerife with 2,024 square kilometres of land dedicated to the cultivation of grapes

in the denominations of origin, and this produces six million litres of wine annually. Some 15,000 families are dedicated to wine production on the island. Tenerife’s vineyards are characterised by their wide variety of grapes, which with the different microclimates of each area and the volcanic soil which feed the vines, offers an exquisite diversity of quality aromas and tastes.

Casa del Vino La Baranda The Tenerife Island Vine and Wine Museum The Casa del Vino La Baranda is a 17th century Canarian agricultural estate which since 1995 has been given over by its owner, the Cabildo of Tenerife, to the promotion of quality island wines. It houses the exhibition: Tenerife Isla de la Agrodiversidad and the Museo de la Miel de Tenerife (Tenerife honey museum). december 2010

wines

In its tasting rooms you can taste wines from the five denominations of origin and buy them in the wine shop. An ample programme of cultural activities is also offered, including concerts, conferences, wine tasting courses and exhibitions.

There is also a restaurant and tasca, offering the opportunity to try creative Canarian cuisine which has rescued some old traditional recipes of the islands.

Ruta del Vino In recent years, enological tourism has

increased, and due to this the Ruta del Vino has been created, to offer lovers of the world of wine activities, accommodation, leisure and culture, all associated with grape growing and wine making. For more information, go to www.rutasyvinos.com.

Discovery Channel

Filming with dinosaurs Blame David Attenborough if you like, but since he opened our eyes to just how amazingly interesting the past can become through proper use of new technology we have wanted more and more nature programmes, documentaries featuring our evolution and that of just about every species that has existed since the world began.

Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) was a ground breaking BBC series that took new technologies and used them to incredible effect to recreate the time of the dinosaurs, and now the Discovery Channel are revisiting that time, in a new six part series, Reign of the Dinosaurs. The team spent over five weeks in Tenerife having chosen the island as the location site

Discovery Channel producer Caroline Pachero

Various spots in Tenerife were used

for four of these one hour programmes, thanks to the Blackstone Film Company, who have been working non stop with the Discovery Channel team. Of course the main protagonists, the dinosaurs themselves, will be added later. Producer Caroline Pachero told us that each hour long programme will be divided into six parts, each telling its own story, and unlike many of its predecessors, there will be no ‘educational’ voice-over, but the pictures and dinosaurs will tell their story through their actions, “which is why we have been working with storyboard artists rather than writers”, Carolina explained. “The scientific knowledge will be embedded in the story”, she continued…” if the story is well told it will grab the audience”. It will also, quite obviously, have a greater universal appeal. The team was hugely enthusiastic about Tenerife as a location, and the work that Julia Schroedl, Service Producer, and her colleagues at Blackstone Film Company do to help companies make the most of these islands, and in a highly professional way.

Prestigio y Tradición

Treat yourself in style Why not give yourself the ultimate tasty treat this December and visit Prestigio y Tradición, a shop/club in Las Zocas which specialises in supplying the very best in food and drink produce, imported exclusively by them, direct from the farms, bodegas and specialist kitchens of great gastronomic sites in the Canary Islands, Spain and beyond. Whether your tastes are traditionally English, veer towards a more French ‘joie de manger’ or are decidedly Spanish in leaning you will find an exclusive range of excellent goods at Prestigio y Tradición.

On a recent visit owner Gerardo showed us the new range of chocolates he is selling – Valrhona, exceedingly tantalising – from France, and staying in that country, he also stocks top class pâtés and terrines and much more from La Table D’Antan. Try out the terrific new range of Gourmet Cooking Sauces (Thai, Mexican, Cajun, Indian, Moroccan…), as well as the very excellent range from Cottage Delight. The latter includes jams, chutneys, clotted cream, sauces and mustards. From Spain there is an unparalleled selection of meats, including the full Ibérica range, some superb cold cuts, such as peppered wild boar, venison with mushrooms and all the specialities that Catalonia is so well known for; fuet, longaniza, butifarra and brawn. When it comes to cheese. Gerardo’s mission is to re-introduce the public to Spanish cheeses in all their delicious glory, and he will succeed, believe me. We are talking real cheese here, crumbly moist handmade cheese that has absolutely nothing to do with the kind of plasticised excuse for cheese you may have been served elsewhere.

Enjoying Christmas the Tenerife way! Make a Christmas lunch with a difference, and lay on a cold turkey and beef buffet, lots of delicious chilled cava, and have lunch on the beach, with your best bikini and tucker.

Celebrate the traditional Spanish way, with a family meal on December 24th, when presents are exchanged, attend Midnight Mass, party till dawn, and leave the 25th for chilling out.

Go native and make sure you have a ticket for the Lotería de Navidad the biggest lottery draw of the year, which takes place in Spain on December 22nd, and sees over €2 million in prize money won during the draw, which is televised live and takes up to three hours.

Tell the kids that in the Canary Islands Santa often travels by jet-ski, pulled by whales and dolphins and treat the family to a trip on a boat to see if you can spot him as he delivers gifts to all the islands.

If you need a White Christmas Mount Teide might just oblige. As the highest mountain in Spain it does have snow covered tips for part of the year – so if you’re lucky on the 25th it might be the perfect location for a mountainside Christmas picnic or barbeque at one of the excellent Cabildo serviced barbeque sites like Chio or Las Lajas.

How to avoid Christmas If the thought of another Christmas spent at home, pretending to be happy with the family and playing the glutton makes you feel nauseous, take heart, we have some alternative ideas for you. Bah humbug!

Just pretend it isn’t happening at all. Stock up on normal food, making sure you do your shopping early, carry on as normal and ignore Santa. You could always go to your nearest beach for the day.

Commit a crime (not too major though!) and spend Christmas in jail where there’s free food and accommodation. Celebrate something else instead, for example pretend it’s Carnaval. Turn off your TV and radio. Get a Chinese takeaway and hire a movie.

Leave the country, go somewhere where Christmas is not celebrated. It’s the best day of the year to travel with no queuing at the airports and plenty of room on most flights. We recommend Morocco, Nepal, St Petersburg, or Papua New Guinea.
