From the 9th to the 15th of August, Tenerife is going to be home to the prestigious World Kiteboarding Championship.

With over 150 entrants from a total of 12 countries - the event is set to be a lot of fun.  It is being held in El Medano, and provides a great chance for locals to face off against the worlds greatest!

Kiteboarding is a curious mix of surfing and Kiting - it really has to be seen to be believed, and the Tenerife leg will be no exception, since El Medano provides near perfect conditions for the sport.

Last Thursday, July 23rd, Playa de La Arena beach hosted an understated ceremony as they were awarded theier 22nd Blue Flag in a row.

These awards are given to beaches by the European Union for upholding stringent standards covering the enviroment, lifeguard and first aid services, and the quality of the beaches themselves.

This 22nd award makes Playa de La Arena beach the most decorated beach in all of Tenerife, quite a feat!

With period costumes and a full scale re-enacment going on, you can catch the action at 19:30 tonight,  in Plaza Weyler, Santa Cruz.
