  • CANARY ISLANDS at the SPANISH PAVILION 30Th MAY to 5Nd JUNE
    CANARY ISLANDS AT THE SPANISH PAVILION 30th MAY to 5nd JUNE 2005 From the 30th of May until the 5th of June, the Spanish Pavilion will celebrate the CANARY ISLANDS region week. On the 4th of June, the Canary Islands will be celebrating its official day. For this special occasion the Spanish Pavilion is honoured to receive the Official Delegation from this region headed by their President Adan Martín. Spain is divided into seventeen autonomous regions, each of them with its own government. During EXPO Aichi 2005 the Spanish Pavilion will have the participation of its regional governments and autonomous cities to show Spain’s natural diversity and cultural pluralism. Each Spanish autonomic region will have the use of the Pavilion for an entire week in order to display its cultural roots as well as the most outstanding features of its land and peoples, through dance, musicians, theater, exhibitions, and an audiovisual projection in the Plaza. Spain’s regions will use this opportunity to show typical products and objects of their cuisine, customs, and craft traditions. The flag of each region will fly alongside the Spanish, Japanese and European flags over the main gate for a week. During its featured week, each region will have a special day. The Canary Islands, a paradisiac group of islands with a preferred climate and constant temperature through out the year, and splendid beaches of fine sand, consists of 7 large islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, Hierro) and a few smaller ones (Alegranza, Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste and Lobos).

San Bartolomé de Tirajana is the largest municipality on the island, and the town has transformed from an inhospitable landscape into one of Europe’s most unique tourist destinations, while still managing to maintain its authentic roots. Basking in the constant sunshine, pleasant temperatures, wonderful beaches and the beauty of its mountain peaks is the biggest tourist destination on the island: Maspalomas Costa Canaria. This makes Maspalomas a must-visit spot on Gran Canaria. Here you will find relaxation, sport, adventure, culture and gastronomy, all alongside the sea and the mountains. Unforgettable experiences surrounded by incomparable landscapes in a peaceful, socially stable environment. 5 6 GEOGRAPHY The shape of the island is round with a domed appearance, and it has a dense network of ravines running through it, which descend from the mountain peaks down to the coast, creating a very rugged terrain. This terrain, with its unique features, is conducive to the existence of a small landscape scale and micro-climate scale, separated by just a few kilometres. Landscapes range from smooth sand dunes to jagged mountain cliffs, and from the intense blue sea to bright green pine forests.

    The Tagoror school is located in the southeast of the island of Gran Canaria, one of the islands that make up the Canary archipelago, Spain. Have a look here: https://youtu.be/HYO- Id3NDHA } Christmas is one of the highlighted dates on our calendar. Our cultural heritage and contact with other communities in the school means that different actions are carried out that mix different elements. } Carnival is a hallmark of the Canarian people, due to its history, tradition and the affable, tolerant and cheerful character of its people. Practically the funniest and most liked celebration in the Canarian schools. A very special date for all Canaries, and whose origin dates back to 1983. On May 30 of that year the first session of the Parliament of the Canary Islands was held. It is also a cultural festival that "exploits" the most traditional Canarian essence, with indigenous games such as La Vela Latina, La Luchada or El Palo, among others. There are also performances of folk music with traditional costumes, as well as tastings of Canarian food, such as potatoes with mojo sauce. } It is traditional that on the day of the Canary Islands, we dress in traditional Canarian clothing. Each of the islands has its own clothing. Even within each island there are different models. } On that day too, in Canary Islands schools, students perform dances or play instruments such as the timple, dressed in typical clothing. Here is an example This is an example of one of the typical dances. https://youtu.be/djk5Ntsq Sno?t=27 The Canarian wrestling, the game of the stick, or the lifting of the harado (plow lifting) are part of our cultural heritage.

Given its legal status, the cockfight in the Canary Islands is not a prohibited event held in secret locations, where those who attend may be prosecuted, as is the case in the UK and most European countries.

  • What Is La Lucha Canaria?
    Thursday, March 29th, 2018 For those who don't know, I have been a Spanish teacher for 20 years. I have a few passions in life - Spanish language and culture, and Wrestling, being two of them. Sometimes our seemingly completely different interests can merge. As a student of the different grappling arts, I learned from a colleague about Canary Island Wrestling. This is the style of Wrestling that has a rich tradition in the Canary Islands, an archipelago of Spain, located off the western coast of Morocco. Naturally, once I heard of this, I had to learn more! The island of Tenerife is the largest and most populated island of the Canary Islands, and hosts one of the world's largest carnivals, the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is working towards designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In late April or early May, the Challenge Tournament, or the Torneo de Envite is held in the town of Tegueste - not far from the capital city of Santa Cruz. During the town's Romería de San Marcos festival, one can witness the annual showcase of the Canary Islands' traditional competitive and rural sports - La Lucha Canaria, La Bola Canaria (Canarian Bowling), oxen pulls, handball and more. Unlike Folkstyle wrestling, which takes place on a mat, La Lucha Canaria takes place in a dirt ring, known as a “Terrero”. Instead of wearing a singlet as Folkstyle (or Scholastic/Collegiate) competitors do, the Canarian Wrestler wears shorts and typically a polo shirt representing their team. Still, one strong similarity is hip control.
