Tenerife: Something for the weekend 2/11 - 4/11
This weekend is relatively quiet and will be another long weekend for a lot of people, with All Saints / All Souls days having fallen on Thursday and Friday, the former being a National Holiday in Spain and the Canary Islands. These fiestas mark the start of winter, when the weather changes and the population adjusts clothing and food accordingly. Oh, it's all relative, but it is certainly the start of cooler weather to us. 
CD Tenerife v. UD Las Palmas
Undoubtedly, the biggest event on the islands this weekend is the local derby between CD Tenerife and UD Las Palmas: Tenerife's and Gran Canaria's rival football teams.
Tenerife is playing host, at home in the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium in Santa Cruz on Saturday, November 3rd at 5.30 p.m. The match is going to be televised live and direct on Televisión Canaria - as if anyone could avoid it! :)
Anyone interested in going to the match should consult with fan club, Armada Sur. In the meantime, set to music that stirs the emotions and a hope to conquer the world, here are some CD Tenerife goles:
De Fiesta in Tenerife
The only traditional style fiestas in Tenerife this week appear to be those in honour of San Carlos y la Virgen de la Almudena in La Caldera, Santiago del Teide, in the south and that of San Martín de Porres - Los Andenes 2007 in the neighborhood of Taco, La Laguna, in the north.
At the former, on Friday, November 2nd at 9 p.m. there's open air cinema in the plaza. On Saturday, November 3rd, the bouncy castles are due to arrive at 5 p.m. and Radio Curbelo are to add a touch of music to the fiestas. At 9 p.m. there will be mass, followed by a procession, fireworks and a gran verbena (dance) to the Arguayo Band.
In Taco, La Laguna, the procession at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 3rd, will also be the religious type. It's also followed by a verbena (open air dance) that starts at 10 p.m. Orquestas Canarias will give you the rest of the listings for salsa / fiesta bands in the islands this weekend.
