Holy Week 2017

Spain is historically a Catholic country, for this reason, the Holy Week is one of the most important dates in the calendar for all the believers. With the conquest of the Canary Islands in 1500, religious orders began to supplant the indigenous beliefs and from that moment, the main celebrations started to commemorate the Catholic rite. Holy Week in La Laguna is the oldest of the Canary Islands and this is probably the place where people feel it more intensely.
