SAND ART ON THE BEACHES OF TENERIFE

Los Cristianos and Las Americas are famous beaches situated at Adeje, Costa Adeje on the Canary Island, Tenerife. Sun-bathing is popular among the tourists in February because the temperature in the sea is not a temptation – it is too cold for most of the tourists. Sea is sea and some do not care about cold water at all, but not me. Therefore my attention was consentrated on an interesting activity on the mentioned beaches: Sand sculpturing. I am not talking about children who make sand sculptures and buildings for the fun of it. No. I am thinking of professional beach artists who make a living of setting up sand castles, sand sculptures and sand villages. I talked to some of the artists asking questions about the work  on the beach and about which country they came from. I thought they all came from Spain because of the high number of unemployment in Spain. The answer was: Romania , Czech Republic and Slovenia. The sand art is the work of modelling a mixture of sand and water into an artistic form such as sand castles, sand sculptures and sand villages. The artists are working with the constructions from morning to evening . The work is time consuming. You need to be patient to make it. Take a look at the result of the work.
