Festival Internacional de Cometas - International Kite Festival 2019

[Mia]

The XXXII Festival Internacional de Cometas (International Kite Festival) will take place on the 7th - 10th November 2019 according to Ayuntamiento de La Oliva. Hopefully there will be a full schedule soon. 

The festival began in 1987 thanks to the impulse of a group of people who are fans of kite flying.  In recent years the festival has been progressively consolidated, acquiring a wide impact, not only at the regional level, but also nationally and internationally.

Who is going this year?

Going again this year as loved it last year, I took my 2 string kite along and felt inferior with all the other kites around, so this year trying to source a quad stunt kite on the island for this year but with no success. Looks like getting one sent from UK my only option unless anyone knows of any kite shops on the island that I haven't found.

We visited in November a few years ago when I had my place in Correlejo, it was amazing to see the sizes and variety and colours of the kites. Normally we visit in October for my birthday but might change that this year
