6. January on Canary Islands

I’m not really sure, if in your country the 6. January also is holiday. But in Spain it is.

It is Los Reyes, the day of presents…. Because here Christmas-presents are not given on Christmas.. they are given on Los Reyes.

All the children get presents … and I guess that’s the reason why it was so busy in Santa Cruz, on the streets and of course in the shops last week :)

As everywhere there were lots of people buying “last minute” - presents.

On the 6. January no shop was open, luckily I had made my shoppings on Friday. I also have bought a Roscón de Reyes, a cake especially made for this day …

Doesn’t it look fine? :)      …… and it is fine ;)

If you ever come to Canary Islands in this time of the year …. try it!
