Christmas Day – Santa Cruz de La Palma. A day of celebrations with live music, market stalls and the towering Tall Ships.
For the last 12 years, the Canary Islands has been the meeting ‘ground’ for the Tall Ships, the multi-sailed masters of the sea, many from yesteryear. It is a wonderful idea not just for the crews of the ships but also for the residents and visitors to La Palma to have a get together at a time which is after all, traditionally a time to be with your own family. And so for those who are away from ‘home’ the special atmosphere generated by a throng of happy and peaceful people goes a long way to making Christmas that bit more special.
Actually, the Tall Ships have more purpose than just drifting around the islands. Most are part of a special project, such as providing a learning opportunity and a unique experience for underprivileged and disabled youngsters.
