Buenavista Song Contest

The northern Tenerife town of Buenavista del Norte is, once more, in the midst of it’s main annual fiestas, the Fiestas de los Remedios. The highlight of tonight’s entertainments, from 9.30 pm in the square alongside the church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, is the Festival de la Canción (Song Contest). This video (above) from last year’s edition – persevere until the second singer (3.40) – will give you an idea of the high quality of the entrants. This is followed by a Gran Baile (dance) with the Orquesta Malibú Band in the Plaza de Los Remedios.
