SEMANA SANTA

Easter, 2 weeks of procession floats and brotherhoods. During our stay we got daily treated. What a timing! What a vibe.
The parishioners of Garachico also took to the streets almost daily with their float.

The Holy Week of San Cristobal de La Laguna is the most important of the Canary Islands. Popularly known as Semana santa lagunera, it is also the oldest, with more than five centuries of history. So we decided to have a look and experience the walks of thrones of wheels through the main streets of the city. The image of the Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna is carried in procession on a wooden cross surrounded by the different brotherhoods.

On the east coast you have another religious hot spot. Virgin of Candelaria , Black Madonna or Our Lady of Candle. She is the patron Saint of the Canary Islands.
