Good Friday 2013

Routes: 470 [Granadilla] to San Isidro, 111 [Santa Cruz], Tram to La Laguna. Return: Tram to Santa Cruz, 111 [Las Americas] to Las Chafiras, Taxi to Los Abrigos. On Good Friday 2012 I went to Adeje for the 'Passion Play' (see my blog and photo album) which has become an annual event. At the time I attempted to catch the bus up to La Laguna to see the contrasting formal processions held in the north of tBushe island but failed and remained in Adeje for the evening procession. As I have remained on the island I decided to go north this year to experience the more formal Easter traditions so this piece was to have been titled 'Good Friday in La Laguna' however on arrival in Santa Cruz I was made aware that the Iglesia De La Conception was open due to their own processions occurring that day. This gave me a unique opportunity to have a look around the interior and photograph some of the icons used in their procession before travelling on to La Laguna. Incidentally
