CHRISTMAS COMES TO CORRALEJO

The Christmas lights are now on at the El Campanario Shopping Centre and they are beautiful. You can see the lights from far away as they reach right to the top of the bell tower which is the highest point in Corralejo. (El Campanario is Spanish for bell tower). The top of the tower now has an angel at each corner.

Spanish Christmas carols will be sung by children from all over the island on each Saturday leading up to Christmas.

El Campanario is a replica of a typical Canarian village where visitors can browse through open-air Canarian streets whilst shopping in the up-market shops which include mens and ladies clothes shops, sports shops, opticians, cosmetics and leather shops. There is also a large supermarket and, for drivers, an underground car park.

On the first and third Sunday of each month a Canarian market is set up in the square, where you can buy objects of art, flowers, local fruit and vegetables and many other items.

If you don’t like shopping it is still a good place to go as you can sit at a table in the plaza enjoying a drink while watching the world go by.
If you want to take in the views of Corralejo, Lobos and Lanzarote you can ascend to the top of the bell tower where the view is amazing. This new shopping centre is definitely a place not to be missed, especially at this time of year.
