...is held in January each year and the fiesta can be found in the small Tenerife Town of Arona.

As with any Spanish Fiesta having fun is the key to this party and there is a good selection of activities to help keep you occupied. Even though the actual Saints Day is only on one day of the week the fiesta is celebrated over the entire week. The celebrations last throughout the week and the main emphasis are of course on food and music.

The busiest and most important day of the week is the Saturday when the town crowns its beauty Queen and holds a large open air party with live music and all kinds of dancing. Sunday Morning is the main religious focus of the festival and a large number of people dress in traditional Canary Island costumes and a large procession takes place.

3 days after the festival, I re-visited Arona and took some general photographs of the beautiful little town. On my last 2 nights in resort, I also witnessed stunning sunsets. The first night I captured it from my balcony, but on my last night I cycled down to the sea-front at Playa de las Americas to capture it.
