Dancing in the streets

AT last we have traditional Music Nights back every Monday in the village. After tavern owners failed for two weeks to make up their minds and agree to pay, the nights have been re-established and the square in packed on Monday's

 This always has a knock-on effect as people come up for the first time, place themselves in one of the many tavernas, and realise that this is a pretty and hard working village. The square has trees along one side, a featured water-fountain the the middle and all the owners have made special efforts to upgraded their buildings for the new season.

  There have been changes to the format odf the dance troup as well as changes with the actual music, which is really traditionaol and not just fior tourists. We actually see some of the locals gravitating to the square, and some actually go out to dance.

  Hopefully as the season progresses every table will be full every Monday, although the island is still not as full as everybody likes, at least they can be fully entertained.  The nioghts should continue right through to September - October, however if the trend does contiunue the outcome for many establishments on the island will be dire.
