Sunny outlook is a cracker at Christmas
LeedsToday report that, "Leeds families are set to enjoy Christmas Day on a beach this year instead of in front of the Queen's speech."
"Travel agent Apollo Travel on Albion Street in the city centre says that Tenerife is the top spot where families are heading for Christmas and New Year celebrations." Louise McPartlan, branch manager at Apollo Travel, told Consumerwatch: "We've taken a lot of bookings so far for Christmas departures and Tenerife is so far the most popular."
She also reminded us that, "Traditionally, on December 25, the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra also performs an open-air Christmas concert."
This concert usually takes place in the evening, in the Plaza de España in Santa Cruz. Since that whole area is being remodelled this year, I'll keep my eyes open for any changes in the venue as news of Christmas events get published.
(Oh, I don't suppose it will be long off now, but, thankfully, Christmas doesn't (yet) start in August here in Tenerife, as it seems to do in some places! :)
