The Canary Guide Easter #WeekendTips 29-31 March 2024
The long easter “Puente” (bridge) weekend with Thursday and Friday both bank holidays throughout Spain. It is also the end of the christian Holy Week “Semana Santa”. There have been many traditional religious acts and processions throughout the week, with men in pointy hats, men on donkeys, and grieving mothers in their shawls, and still continuing around the island, especially in the capital until Sunday. This is going to be a tranquil weekend overall when it comes to other types of events and festivities, as easter is traditionally a time to gather the family together, visit the churches and then the beaches. The upcoming first weekend of April, however, is going to be busy busy.
