Special concert today

...and this is just one of the nice live music gigs and sessions happening in Valle Gran Rey these days. Check posters and flyers as well as local bars and restaurants - or just just take a stroll and pop in where you hear music, as some of the sessions and gigs are not advertised. Note that all live music in bars and restaurants sadly must end at 11 pm and that the musicians are not paid anymore by the venues on this island and are thus depending on your donations.

Water circus in La Gomera

A new type of circus performance opened in San Sebastian de La Gomera last night. Circus 'Alegria' presents their show 'Aqua Circus' again tonight, Feb. 3rd 2017, and twice daily on Saturday and Sunday. The troupe of acrobats, entertainers and performers arrived here with numerous articulated trucks and erected a huge marquee. The water circus uses 24.000 litres of water in a basin that forms the stage where water jets are choreographed to the specially written music during the show which is set among seafarers and pirates of the 18th century. Discounted tickets are still available on their website. Below is their short promotional video:

Two bands for beach party

This gig is the rocking alternative to the X-mas shopping promotion in La Playa and not part of the official programme below:
