The annual meet-up of tall ships will take place in Santa Cruz de la Palma for Christmas, for the 16th year running. The ships will arrive on December 24th and leave on the 26th.

As usual, there’ll be a market in the port area from 9 am to 6pm, which gives you a chance for last-minute present shopping (or good-and-early shopping for January 6th, when the Spanish exchange presents) and a chance to look around the ships from 10 am – 1 pm and 4:30 pm – 6 pm.

This year the live music will be performed by EL CARDERO PUNTO COM from 11 am – 2 pm. Doves will be released at 11:30 am and the crews of the ships will compete in a rowing competition at 4 pm.
