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' ;)
