XXXVIII RALLY LA PALMA ISLA BONITA

Rally car racing through Breña Baja
The car rally going through San Jose

The annual car rally takes place this weekend. On Friday night from 9 pm to midnight they’11 be racing in Breña Baja, from El lineal, past Monte Breña and San Jose to San Antonio. On Saturday from about 9 am to about 7 pm, it’s the same route in reverse. Meanwhile, also on Saturday, they’ll be racing around Martin Luis to Puntallana and around Tigalate.

The prizes will be given out on Saturday at the podium by the replica of Columbus’s boat in Santa Cruz.

I usually find the first few cars exciting, the next few interesting, and all the others very noisy.  I’m really not looking forward to having them snarling and roaring past my house until midnight.
