Two things we missed

Torrevieja’s main square was alive with the sound of music last Friday evening as thousands got in the festive spirit to take part in the English Carol Concert.

Organised by the foreigners office and the town hall, this was the fourth year of ‘Carols in the Square’ and early reports indicate more than 5,000 people of all nationalities, enjoyed the festivities, which has now become a permanent fixture on the Torrevieja calendar.

The seafront at Torrevieja came to a standstill last Saturday as a procession of around 40 Santa’s on motorbikes descended on the town.

The biker Santa’s, who are all friends from a number of bike clubs, were on their fourth annual outing armed with bags full of sweets to throw to the children as they weaved their way from Rojales to Villa Martin, calling at Quesada, Guardamar, Torrevieja, Los Montesinos and San Miguel.
