Alfombras de Sal in Adeje for Corpus Christi

[Janet]

An annual spectacle that should not be missed tales place in the main street of Adeje for the religious festival of Corpus Christi. This year it will be on the weekend of 21 and 22 June. Some 3,500 kilos of vibrantly coloured salt will be used to create alfombras de sal (carpets of salt) throughout Calle Grande and Calle Corpus in the old part of the town.  Each carpet is created by a different collective, which will start work on the Saturday in preparation for the procession and service on the Sunday.
