For those of you that wish to see something a little different! Why not try and find out when there is a 'Lucha Canaria' in your area.

Lucha Canaria is similar to Sumo in many ways, and is a traditional sport in the Canaries.
2 people face off in a circular ring on sand. Each wrestler wears shorts that have been rolled up to make a strong grip point at the bottom of the shorts (this is used to try and unbalance your opponent).
The object is to get your opponent to touch the floor with any other part of his body other than his feet, or to push him out of the ring. (Each bout consists of 3 attempts at this)
Each Lucha Canaria event is made up of 2 teams of 12 wrestlers from neighbouring areas i.e. Arona vs La Laguna, and the winner is the team with the most wins at the end.
To find a Lucha Canaria arena near you use the map at: http://www.federaciondeluchacanaria....d=60&Itemid=64
