Christmas on La Palma

Christmas in the Canaries really can be as much fun as it sounds - a Christmas holiday in the sun is an exciting prospect for many people (including me!).
So what is Christmas on La Palma like? Well, just like in any country, Christmas is different for different people. Sometimes it's a round of visiting the family, a celebration meal or just taking time out to do something different.
This year our Christmas was that little bit different as we had family staying with us for the first time. So what should we do? Go for a walk .... go to Santa Cruz de La Palma to see if the Christmas Tall Ships are in ... or go to the beach. Beach, beach, beach, they cried!
But first of all, there are cards to open - thanks folks!
And then it's down to the beach ...
A visit to an old friend who lives the simple life and is very much into handicrafts
A quick walk on the GR130 Camino Real ...
And then back to the finca for a glass of something nice ..
Happy Christmas everyone and a wonderful New Year too!
