Christmas celebrations were worth it at Alcampo Tenerife North.
Reading about Christmas celebrations at Alcampo La Villa in April 2011, when this article was written may seem absurd. However, there is reason in this madness. Why? Indeed, the party mood at Alcampo by Puerto Cruz continued on a smaller scale into the rest of the year, without the Christmas decor. The managers of Alcampo had several surprises up their sleeves. However, funky reality shows were not new but, were perceived as such, nevertheless.
A festivity highlight happened on January 2nd of 2011, 4 days before the Spanish Thanksgiving.As per custom, Spanish children get their Christmas gifts on that day called Reyes Magos. 53702 visitor were greeted at that time of outstanding Christmas celebrations of Alcampo La Orotava. Parking space off limits:On that Sunday Alcampo La Villa hadnot enough parking on its otherwise very generous 2 parking lots upstairs and downstairs. Then, half of the inhabitants of Puerto de la Cruz, Los Realejos and even LA Longuera and other nearby towns must have filled La Villa's shops and alleys to the brim. The mall's generous and magic inside Christmas decorations set its Alcampo visitors into the best shopping mood. Note that the management of La Villa Alcampo felt particularly happy on that memorable holiday of the New Year of the Christmas season. In fact, the year 2010 had given it over 8 million visitors. Alcampo's business management success:
That's a record for Tenerife Recession. This business success, established this commercial center of Alcampo as one of the biggest in Spain and the Canary Islands and certainly the most important of North Tenerife.What more reason may have been for La Villa for celebrating with the public Also notice that the almost 350m facade of La Villa Alcampo which you could see from the freeway was bathed in Christmas led lights. Upstairs, its usual free open air parking greeted the mall's guests with more visible festive gear. Yet, Christmas celebrations hailed the birth of Christ most prominently by one of its main entrances.
Art exhibition for shopping:Art shopping commemorated the festive day. Tenerife landscape paintings on sale were one of this New Year's day highlights.
A lady helped selecting shoppers the right Christmas gift, which they wanted.
The crafts had found a prominent place together with a festive jewelry stall. Everything was opposite a tall decorated Christmas tree which was surrounded by other festive gear. Please notice that Alcampo La Villa belongs officially to a town which celebrates Christ's birth in most beautiful manner. See Christmas photos of it which prove it.
The shopping promotion for art is one of new marketing ideas. Alcampo encourages everybody with a business which may profit by exposure and more public relations to come forward at any time of the year. Certainly, new business ideas which should fit in with Alcampo policies are more than welcome.
Oil paintings as well as Aquarels were pegged up with ribbons to celebrate the nativity season on walls. Meantime, the biggest hypermarket of Tenerife North at la Villa honored the season in its own way. It had sales of reduced computers, notebooks, televisions, cellular telephones and many other electric gadgets, an impression of which gather at the following video... Spanish food and drink which hails Christmas on shelves:Sweets, nuts and cholcolates from all corners of Europe were tempting you with festive glitter. Traditional cookies and Christmas cakes from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and other countries as well as English black pudding could be discovered. The Spanish Tarrons which are hard to bite bars of almond sweets with all sorts of flavours are a must for store Christmas celebrations and were there in huge supply.
Enormous cerrano hams were crowning the festive occasion, while their trophy the Pata Negra was not amiss. You almost smelled everything from far. You could purchase them with the approriate cutting equipent. Such gadget is lovely to have in a holiday home in Tenerife at all times, by the way.

Even a McDonalds is all set for Hamburger Christmas celebrations. Spanish Christmas celebrations at homeChristmas celebrations in general from all over the world are always a highly popular topic with television and media. Nevertheless, let me help you with more insider knowledge of Spanish traditions for Christmas in Spain, where even Christmas recipes and lotteries are included. Mind that Spain customs for its Fiesta de los Reyes de Navedád and December 24th and 25th are pretty much the same in all its provinces and even in Spanish speaking South America. They all have one thing in common. What? No businesses or restaurants are open in the Spanish world on the 24th of December. Besides on December 25th, food is celebrated virtually all day long, while roast turkey, paella, crustaceans and best Cerrano ham are leading dishes.
