Just up the hill from Los Gigantes is Puerto de Santiago a Canarian village full of charm and character. The plaza is the social hub of the community, equally at home hosting a dog show, political rally, fiesta dance, or a food fair. In these hard times for local traders it is also a rallying point for local business to gain a much needed boost with a bargain fair.

The 6th annual event will take place on Sunday 6 November from 9am to 4 pm with local traders offering large discounts on many lines of clothes, toys, books etc. The plaza juts out into the sea, is a natural sun trap, and set below the road level it’s a safe place for families to bring children for a fun day out, there will be bouncy castles this year.

Bar Plaza at one end of the area has a large terrace and serves traditional food and drink. It’s sure to be a good day and holiday makers will be made very welcome, you may even pick up a few useful bargains with one eye on christmas.
