The best Tenerife events for the winter season of Christmas and New Year 2019 -2020

Some say that Tenerife events which don't charge entrance are the best. Others feel that everything which has a price is worth so much more. Another correct answer may be that all depends, you know...

In a hurry and want to get the latest events for Christmas and New Year 2019 for Tenerife North now now? Look here

Also note that the Puerto Cruz Arcon Tapas Place by Casa Ventosa in Calle Iriarte is back in business again.

Many a Tenerife concert doesn't take  place in halls with superb acoustics but on simple town squares for free.

Outstanding Spain Gospel Shine Voices band street performance of Tenerife events

Depicted are only a few musicians and singers of this fabulous Spanish Gospel band, probably the best in Europe in my mind. It offers musical shows for Tenerife events, such as weddings and more. The next free performance, an amazing success by the way, was to be in Icod de Los Vinos by the stairs of the Ayuntamiento on January 04, 2020 at 18.00 in the evening. I could not see them well to take a shot in Santa Cruz on December 19th. A big crowd like a mini Rave prevented it in the confined Space downtown Santa Cruz. Expect them to become a permanent Christmas feature in Tenerife towns.

Extraordinary Christmas concert Abaco and more musical events

Indeed, the Casa Grande of Abaco is back on track with its winter concert season.

Frequent free Villancicos Christmas Folk music events in Tenerife streets

Such street music doesn't only happen in tourist hubs but may also be much of free Christmas entertainment in Tenerife villages and hamlets off the beaten track during day and night until January 6.  So called Villancicos could also be small Jazz brass bands or just children that sing Christmas Carols.

New years Eve events in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The  New Years Eve (Noche Vieja) for 2019 and 2020 outside celebrations with fireworks will be again on Plaza de Candelaria, contrary to previous years on the back square of the Auditorio de Tenerife. This is to the best of my knowledge. I shall keep you posted if there's a change, after all. 

Then, there are always New Years Eve street parties at La Noria the Tenerife party street now Calle Antonio Dominguez Alfonso in walking distance from the Auditorio and Plaza de Candelaria.

Included are la Noria celebrations of the mad season, as carnival is the most important Tenerife event after Christmas and New Year.

One of best Tenerife exhibitions of art seen in December 2018

Lets just keep it for the record, although it's last year's snow.

Celestino Mesa's latest art represents a fusion of Realism and Impressionism with themes of interest in our era.

Depicted beside is the topic Blessed Inspiration translated from the Spanish Bendita inspiración.

A must see art show with medium sized works, some of which done with charcoal, others with oil and acrylics.

Photographic effects may have played an original role in some of Mesa's large works that surpass Euro 7000 by estimated value.

Tapas tournaments with or without celebrations of new wines

Indeed, the Patapa Realejos takes place every year. Again Mi Guachinche Casa Pedro of Toscal Longuera was a winner and this year a big winner with 5 medals where its wine of the Bodega Bosol made first prize. So now we have two very popular restaurants in the Longuera about 50 m from each other. The other one is the Italian Restaurant Pomodoro y Basilico.  The latter is a bit more expensive and doesn't do Tapas, as such.

The night before the San Andres festival is dedicated to celebrate new wines all over the island.

However, there are also events of denominations, such as the Gran Fiesta de Los Vinos 2019 for the wines of Tenerife. The last took place on September 07 on Playa de Socorro of Los Realejos

New wines are always served during Tapa food tournaments, more about an example of it by clicking the photo beside.
