Mueca art festival 2008 has countless Tenerife events planned as usual.

Mueca art festival 2008 Puerto Cruz is already causing chaos while only starting on 4th of April. Performers dressed up in any artistic way such as in 'Waiting for Gordot', in semi carnival or, in opera style - you name it- are almost competing with 'gruas'. The gruas pick up trucks seem to be all over town.

They are loading up cars of parking sinners with their cranes while causing even more havoc.

Tourists driving to Puerto de la Cruz should always tune into the English Radio station 91.1-91.9 FM which they should receive in any rented car on the island. Best island music, anyway...

With 70 events planned for Puerto Cruz and Tenerife entertainment where many take place at the same time we may wonder how many good artistic shows may be missed at the Mueca art festival 2008.

More so, they take place on different town squares such as:

• Plaza Europa,(everywhere)


• Plaza del Charco,


• Plaza Concejiil,


• by the big parking ground Muelle by the harbour,


• Plaza Escultor A Acosta,


• by the little port next to Casa de la Aduana,


• Espacio Nicko,


• Itinerario 1,


• Convent Saint Domingo

During Mueca art festival Graffiti art is being allowed on doors of houses and buildings, theoretically, with permission of owners.

Young people all over Puerto Cruz town seem to show off their artistic talents during this Mueca art festival which is part of Puerto de la Cruz culture.

Girls in skimpy ballerina dress while the temperature is 30C and Playa Jardin and Playa Martianez are full with young people, are pirouetting in sun shine. Guys are presenting solo dance shows to make themselves a name.

Clowns, 'puppetiers', circus, concerts, games at the Cosmos Museum, shows giving tribute to Cuba, to the past, to the future...

Somebody may tell me where it may end...

Puerto de la Cruz which has hardly past its turbulent carnival fiestas is yet again 'with it' pulsating in its vibrant fashion with all its 'joie de vivre'(rejoicing life) which it is known for during yet another fiesta called Mueca art festival 2008

To check with the homepage in Spanish for all free events of the festival of the Muecas by its calendar will help new tourists little as they don't know the performing groups whose performances will often take place at the same time as said above. All that remains doing is just doing the rounds in the center of town.

Please, go back from Mueca art festival to Tenerife fiestas.

And, don't miss Tenerife festivals such as Romerias with folk music and island people video...

There are various ways to get around by bus from Southern towns or neighboring locations into Puerto de la Cruz to see the shows.

Beach fun in general with Fiesta San Juan Puerto Cruz and an incident which speaks for itself.

Shopping for art might be possible in some places of Puerto Cruz town. Some shops or galleries will certainly be closed.
