April 2021 begins with two Public Holidays today, Thursday 1 April (Jueves Santo/Maundy Thursday) and, tomorrow, Friday 2 April (Viernes Santo/Good Friday). This year, because of the ongoing pandemic, the Bishopric has suspended acts of worship and processions outside the churches, so there will be none of the usual processions.

Last time I was in Santa Cruz, I accepted an invitation for a Guided Tour of the Auditorio de Tenerife, emblematic building, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. It seems that these tours are still available as their page states, "The guided tours offered by Auditorio de Tenerife include the same prevention measures against Coronavirus as for the rest of the building." As I had my non-Spanish speaking husband with me, the lady who took us round - yes, just the two of us - explained everything in English. You do need to reserve in advance through: call 922 568 625 or via email to visitas@auditoriodetenerife.com
