BBC Radio 1 coming to Tenerife

Saturday, July 14th, 2007
BBC Radio 1 brings its hugely popular summer roadshow to Tenerife next weekend (July 21 and 22). The BBC is staying tight lipped about the actual location for its live broadcast, preferring to announce it live on air on Tuesday (July 17). The Tenerife roadshow is part of Radio 1’s ‘Six Weeks of Summer’ event, which also sees live broadcasts from other European holiday destinations such as Majorca, Ibiza and Zante. Confirmed presenters for the Six Weeks of Summer series include Edith Bowman, Vernon Kaye, Sara Cox and Nihal, but listeners have to tune in to the Chris Moyles show each Tuesday to find out who is going where and what they'll be up to. The Radio 1 roadshows have been a regular summer feature for many years, drawing huge crowds to the UK resorts chosen to host the live events.

Paragliding festival lures the world’s best

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007
The skies over Socorro beach in the north of Tenerife will be ablaze with colour between April 27 and May 1 when the third Los Realejos International Paragliding Festival takes place. The five-day festival will feature some of the world’s leading exponents of the arts of paragliding, hang gliding and parachuting.
