Just this past weekend, the charming town of El Cotillo hosted the 'Sal y Arte' festival, a celebration of culture, music, and stargazing. According to Catalina García, the Concelaria of Culture for the Ayuntamiento de La Oliva, the event filled the streets and plazas of El Cotillo with a delightful mix of artistic activities.

Visitors could enjoy a variety of performances, including dance, storytelling, and live music. The festival also featured stargazing events, allowing festival-goers to admire the night sky through telescopes. This mix of activities offered something for everyone, making it a memorable experience for residents and visitors alike.

For expats and digital nomads like myself, who call Santa Cruz de Tenerife home, such events offer a taste of the cultural life on the island. While Tenerife's southern coast enjoys slightly warmer weather, El Cotillo’s festivals highlight the cultural diversity and activities available across the island. Whether you're planning a visit or just looking for a new way to explore, don't miss out on these cultural gems.
