One of the tall ships in Santa Cruz de La Palma last year
For several years now, Santa Cruz de la Palma has hosted a Christmas market and a meeting of tall ships. This year, there are sadly no ships, but there’ll still be a flea market on Christmas morning, from 9 am to 2 pm.
And a very Merry Christmas to all my readers.
Here on La Palma, it’s been pouring with rain for days. At this time of year we expect it to rain sometimes, but we’ve had about three depressions roll over the island with scarcely a pause between them. The Taburiente river is in spate, and the road is closed where it reaches the sea at Puerto Tazacorte. And the road to the Roque de los Muchachos is also closed – this afternoon, the staff came down the Garafia side in convoy.
