Hola!
So, we have arrived in Tenerife, and are settling in great! As you've heard, we got here on Wednesday, and started work on Thursday. We are working with two designers,Santi Castro and Daniel Pages, and there are 3 of us with each. You've heard all about Santi from Helen, Mary and Mary, but Tamsin, Sarah Megan and Cathal are with Dani.
The three of us took a bus and a tram to a warehouse way out by the docks, where we met the team in the workshop. We're working with about 10 others, mostly around our age, who are absolutely lovely. Even though we don't have too much Spanish and they don't have too much English, they are still trying really hard to make conversation, and help us with whatever we're doing.
The whole costume-making process is totally top secret, it's mad! We can't tell anyone what the outfits are like, not even each other! You'll have to wait until after they crown the Queen to see pictures. What I will say though, is that they are magnificent! The floats are four metres high by four metres wide, covered in glitter and absolutely everything is handmade! I can't wait to see the final product!
There is such big competition between the two designers as well, Dani's entry became Queen last year and Santi's the year before. Obviously Dani will win again this year!!
We'll report back again soon!
Love Tamsin, Sarah Megan and Cathal
