XXII International Kite Festival - Fuerteventura - Canary Islands
Dates: From 05-11-2009 to 08-11-2009
The Kite Festival on the dunes is being held over the weekend of 7 and 8 November but you can actually see the kites from the 5th to the 22nd of November, the 7th and 8th are the competition dates. Kiters from all over the world gather in the natural park of the "Dunes of Corralejo". It's well worth going to see I have been told…so I’m going to have a look along with quite a few from on here, they have all been before but it’s a first for me! The earlier you book the cheaper everything is, so for next year I expect some of you will be up for this…I’ll keep you posted!

Not long to go now  Attached a leaflet of this years programme, it is a scanned copy so quality is a bit naff but readable. It has become a bit more commercialised over the last couple of years, with I believe the local authorities now getting sponsors. Still one of the best and friendliest beach festivals in the world though Hoping to post pictures back to the forum if possible Attachments:Fuerte Leaflet.pdf.jpg (208.28 KB)

Hi Les, Did the PDF file manage to download to your computer OK or is it just the quality ? |

I got the same message as Les, however using the browser back button I managed to download it. The problem is a function of the security settings of the browser.

Glad it worked OK
You might have to zoom to about 150 - 200% to make the text readable !

Same here, the popup blocker had to be temporarily disabled, then opened to an illegible page. Even with my pound shop glasses I couldn’t read it.....thanks for the other tip Dave, using the crosshair button (he called it the + button) at the top of the page and zooming to 150% it was quite readable now. 
I see there that on Saturday the7th there is a competition for the "exhibition of diverse shapes and colours" .... I think I could win it if I entered my sand anchor, the big Norfolk model?

Brilliant idea ;D You are sure to be the winner, this would be possibly the most oddball shape since the creation of the island some 20 million years ago.  |
