I Love Los Gigantes: Openings, Views & Lions

Hi everyone! I hope you´ve all had a good week. Its been a rather busy week here in Los Gigantes. Our week started a bit quiet and we able to take a coffee at Costa The View, a friendly cafe in Varedero that boasts probably one of the best views around, the coffee is great also, People that know me will know I like a good hot coffee and this place delivers just that! They do snacks and they also have live music a few nights a week featuring local artistes. If you´re around that area, pop in, I´m sure they would love to see you! Costa - The View

We have been getting ready to open our bar this week and our opening night was on Friday. Due to social distancing and Covid 19 we cannot seat as many people as we could before, however we had a great steady flow of locals who were keen to support us and it was great to see everyone. We are currently open on friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 6pm. As tourism returns we will add more nights and we hope to do some live music in the future along with Karaoke.

I was lucky enough to be asked to sing at the Wine bar and terrace on Thursday evening along with Jay Francis who performs a tribute to George Michael. He has become a great friend over the years and it proved a great success. It was a sell out night and a big thanks again to all our supportive loyal locals, even the local police were in attendance.

Finally this brings me to Saturday evening and an event that I was unable to attend, The lions charity event which was held at Flor Del Drago restaurant in Playa De La Ärena. My good friend Irene Tucker went along with her husband David and I asked her to tell me all about it:

Flor del Drago did the Santiago del Teide Lion's Club proud again.

On the occasion of the President's Night, a somewhat depleted number of members and friends sat down to a splendid 3 course meal. Our local Lion's Club do great works helping the community all year round, especially now in these difficult times.

Our meal was totally delicious, served by Carine and her staff with their usual efficiency, and cooked by master chef Heinrich.

We were served inside in comfort, but there is also a spacious terrace with shade outside.

A most enjoyable evening thanks to the company and Flor del Drago.
