Dia de Canarias

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
Tomorrow,

May 30th is the 'dia de canarias', that is literally, the canaries day. The 'dia de canarias' celebrates the aniversary of the first session of the canarian parliament held in 1983, 10 months after we were publicly declared an autonomous region.

A lot of municipalities decorate the streets and organize special events. I would like to focus on th municipality of Mogan, where there'll be a lot of interesting things done. Today will be the official start of the 'San Antonio' festivities in Mogan. At the 30th there will be a craftwork and gastronomy fair held in the 'Plaza de las Marañuelas' in Arguineguin at 18:00 which is something i highly recomend you.

Have a nice 'canaries day' ;)



Museums

Friday, May 18th, 2007
Here is an update on the last entry,

where i posted the different museums on the isle but with their spanish names, so i thought to myself they wouldn't mean anything to you if you didn't live here for a long time or even speak spanish.

Therefore here is a downloadable file for those of you who would like a printable version of the table. Plus, i added som extra info, a small description so you'd know what the museums are all about.
I hope its usefull: Museums

Rcon Pascua, one of our usual blog-readers,

posted a comment the Vegueta post, asking for some information about some museums here on the isle. Since i think this is something interesting to know for everybody, I prefer posting it as a normal post rather than as a response on a comment.
