New Year's Eve 2013 in Santa Cruz
Bus Routes: 470 [Granadilla] to El Medano. 116 [Santa Cruz] to Estacion. Return: 111 [Los Cristianos, Las Americas] to San Isidro. 470 [Los Cristianos] to Las Abrigo. A spectacular natural light show in the sky started the New Year's Eve 2013 celebrations as I left my apartment for Santa Cruz. I caught the 470 intending to catch the 111 at San Isidro but managed to dash across the road in El Medano to hop onto the 116 direct to Santa Cruz so no waiting. I had been invited for dinner with my landlord and his family who have now become good friends and was due to arrive around 20:00 hrs. The quick connection gave me time to wander around the immediate area of their apartment and take some photographs of the street decorations and the Nativity scene in the Plaza de Candelaria.
