Photos of the Canary Islands

LED Christmas lights brighten the squares of Puerto de la Cruz

Camels carrying the Three Kings' luggage stand at the harbour, garlands lead to Plaza Víctor Pérez and Plaza del Charco, and even the palms are lit. Since 2022 the Canaries have switched almost entirely to energy saving LEDs.
