Driving back from Corralejo this afternoon there were plenty of kites up in the area of the Kite Festival in the dunes, so is it not also the Kite Festival this weekend?

Good spot WMG. Looks like we have missed posting about this year's festival - perhaps it hasn't been well publicised!

I found this article dated 1st August 2022 in 'guide to canary islands':

the text in the article is protected, I can only copy and paste the link.

7 - 13th November, Corralejo, near the RUI hotels.

Re the Kite Festival, thanks Tamara and Captain for the updates, it looks like things started early, as previously reported there were kites in the dunes way south of the hotels on Friday and they were there again today, Sunday 6/11.
