What happened at last entertainment Tenerife fireworks shows Fiesta de la Cruz?

Entertainment Tenerife Fireworks shows never really reported fireworks accidents.

In 2007, I watched a splendid night sky display performance during Tenerife fiestas in Los Realejos where the idea of anything, possibly, going wrong would never have crossed my mind.

Friends and I were seeing the polytechnic shows 2008 Los Realejos Fiesta de la Cruz from the best place for it which is Restaurante Amerinca for events and disco dance much about which you find in my general page on entertainment in Tenerife.

On this day of the second last of the May festival
Fiesta de la Cruz the fireworks shows didn't want to work.

So what about accidents in this context?

Many
fireworks accidents are statistically reported in the UK.

There just wasn't any wind for big entertainment by means of fireworks on that day.

Not even the slightest breeze when the fire crackers were shot up into the air... Fireworks in clouds or behind them couldn't open up as can be clearly seen in my photo.

The brothers Toste, importers, manufacturers and wholesalers of
pirotecniatoste.com who compete with each other fiercely with 2 Los Realejos streets, yearly, produced kind of a flop in 2008.

It was due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Following some very hot days with incredible 40C temperatures at some stages in the north of Tenerife no wind, not even the slightest breeze was in the air.

Fireworks shows Fiesta la Cruz Los Realejos

After midnight, past 1.a.m., a little wind came up

It resulted in some slightly better fireworks shows on 3rd trial where some cloudy mist still prevented the usually great entertainment applause.

By the way, it's impossible to drive through Los Realejos Alto before the normal big fun with the town's firework displays.

Roads are blocked off in case of fireworks accidents which, of course, could happen.

How get to the entertainment with cordoned off roads?

We had to get to Amerinca Restaurant to see the fireworks by following the coastal road from Los Realejos to Icod de los Vinos.

Before reaching Icod Los Vinos we turned into exit La Guancha (which is above San Juan de la Rambla)and left towards Icod del Alto until we hit the Cepsa petrol station above which we were going to see the famous Tenerife night sky fun.

You can trace the route from Los Realejos via La Guancha Icod del Alto with Tenerife maps where you can see that Icod del Alto joins up with Los Realejos Alto for entertainment Tenerife.

House on fire caused by pyrotechnics:

A minor real fireworks misfortune must have, however, happened during Fiesta de la Cruz in Los Realejos 2008.

A building must have caught fire because, a road in Los Realejos Alto where the fireworks took place was shut off when we drove home through the town.

A fire engine was parked, nearby.

We can only guess that much additional smoke was caused by this fire which was also causing cloud trouble in the sky suffocating the fire rockets, even more.

At least, we had enjoyed some great dance floor entertainment Tenerife at Amerinca by a show with a Spanish singer and good disco music to go with.

Nothing about fireworks accidents was in Tenerife Media during the following days. We must, therefor, conclude that the fire accident cannot have been grave.

Please, go from entertainment Tenerife to entertainment Tenerife Loro Park which is said to be the biggest spectacle on the island.
