Christmas and New Year’s Eve is a good chance to meet family and friends. Canary      Islands people celebrate the traditional meal eating goat meat. Nougat and, of      course, Champagne is very popular and Christmas baskets are used as presents for employees of the companies. People have nice  walks in cities, enjoying the  iluminated streets  with special christmas decoration.

These days are perfect to go out with friends at night or living the tradicional  catholic masses. Other option chosen is going to the beach and taking the most of  the nature making a picnic in forest but the one who´s love this festivities most are the childrens  expecting presents of  Santa Claus when they have had good behaviour during the year.

Well known are the “belenes” , representation wich figures and lovely  little scale designs  recreate the nativity of Jesus birth. All a good chance to take the most of a special meeting once a year.
