Unkilted in Lanzarote

[cessna152towser]

Did you see anyone wearing contemporary kilts out there in Lanzarote?
I am planning a trip to Gran Canaria in April and envisage wearing a denim Union Kilt or my Utilikilt to travel and carrying shorts to wear at the holiday resort. Wearing the kilt around the resort would be an option. I wore my Freedom kilt in mainland Spain in February where it was very well received, but I am not so sure about the Spanish owned islands such as Gran Canaria where the natives may not be as savvy about modern fashion trends, plus Gran Canaria in April is likely to be hotter than mainland Spain in February.
I never saw any kilts when I visited Lanzarote but that was eleven years ago and I would like to think the kilt trend has advanced since then.

I generally visit the Canaries about twice a year, mostly Lanzarote, which I prefer to the other Canary Isles because of the way the resort has been designed compared to the disastrous planning in Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

I bumped into a kiltie a few years ago in Tenerife, he was over for a friend's wedding and wore his kilt most nights, his kilt was traditional and therefore not suitable during the day.
In Gran Canaria, which i have not visited for a few years, its possible that you might meet a few kilties as it certainly is a more progressive island with its more liberal and trend setting outlook. I think if I visited Gran Canaria again, I might wear my kilt on an occasion.
Certainly Gran Canaria in April is far hotter than mainland Spain but as I say there is a far more progressive and liberal attitude there than most places I know. I would say that the kilt would be very well received there especially with the enormous cosmopolitan population holidaying there. Yup go for it and pioneer constant kilt wearing on that island. We kilt wearers have responsibilty to bring kilt wearing to the masses
