I have heard (and had it confirmed) that Amigos in Corralejo will be doing a Traditional Christmas Dinner on believe it or not Christmas Day! Well being in Corralejo in Fuerteventura that is actually part of Spain this will be something different. Traditionally the 25th December is quite a sombre affair for the Spanish as there main celebration days are 5th January. This is when there are processions all over Spain in Corralejo the three kings riding camels, walk down the high street in a form of a procession.This is the Feast of the Epiphany when the Three Kings arrived in Bethlehem. For Spanish children this is the most important day of the year when they wake up to find that Los Reyes Magos (the Three Kings) have left gifts for them in their house. Santa may leave them a token gift on 25th but the Three Kings are their favourites, especially Baltasar who rides a donkey (in other parts of Spain) and is the one believed to leave the gifts. During the day of 6th the Three Kings continue their good work and are seen distributing gifts to children in hospitals all over Spain.
Rest assured those wanting the good ole English Traditional Dinner will be able to book at Amigos. There will be one sitting (not a get in eat and good bye affair!!) Sitting down will commence at 18.00 hrs (giving you plenty of time during the day to top up your tan!) there will be good old Tradition songs a three course meal, with a choice or 3 items for each course and even a vegetarian option for those in your family that what to choose this.
A complete menu will be posted tomorrow. Watch this space as they say I am off to watch the footy tonight, where?......... You guessed it Amigos.. Come you England in fact let’s hope all the Home Countries do well.
