ID 55245803 © Pavel1964 | Megapixl.com
The most colourful and sweetest smelling festival on Tenerife is the Corpus Christi celebrations in La Orotava. This year it falls on 11 June (always a week after the date of Corpus Christi). Beautiful flower carpets are laid on the lovely old streets around Orotava’s town hall and the Iglesia de la Concepción. The centrepiece of the event is the huge sand tapestry in the plaza in front of the town hall which is a transient work of art, weeks in the making and tramped over at the end of the DÃa de Alfombras (day of the carpets). There’s a party atmosphere and people travel from all over to see the carpets. Up until siesta time it gets vary, very busy, but it’s worth the slow crawl around the route to see these fantastic creations. Turn up after 3pm and you’ll find the streets are a lot quieter.
