Hi, thanks for reply. That website doesn't actually relate to San Miguel de Abona but to a place in the north near La Orotava. I found that site myself too whilst I was searching. San Miguel sand carpets are actually only on one day only as there's a church service & procession at the end of the day where the congregation walk through the carpets & destroy them (shame, I know!) then they're all swept up & nobody would know they've been there! I'll try & find out the actual date from the Ayuntamiento (although I couldn't find it on their website, useless!). Cheers again : ))
