If you are planning your Easter break and you haven’t made up your mind yet about what destination to choose, today we will help you make your decision telling you why you should choose the Canary Islands on these dates. This year, we will celebrate Easter at the end of March, just the moment when we are looking forward to the coming of spring and leaving coats, umbrellas and boots aside. For this reason, the best choice to make the most of these rest days is choosing a place where good weather is guaranteed, as it is the case of the Canary Islands.

Easter is a festivity that residents in the archipelago live with great passion, and a holiday when visitors can get to know the traditions of the islands, while they enjoy their beautiful beaches and excellent climate.

As it is usual, the Holy Week in the Canary Islands is celebrated since Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday, although the most important celebrations start on Maundy Thursday. Almost every municipality in the islands celebrates mass traditional processions, where brotherhoods march with their ‘pasos’ (floats representing episodes of the Passion of Christ). However, some municipalities have special celebrations that are worth seeing. It is the case of San Cristóbal de la Laguna, in Tenerife, where the pasos are carried on wheeled carts, or Adeje, where, besides the processions, the representation of the Passion of Christ, performed by residents in the town, is an unavoidable appointment. If you are staying at Hotel Puerto de la Cruz on these days, do not hesitate to ask for information about these special celebrations.

In addition to church traditions in the islands, their traditional Easter gastronomy stands out to a large extent. We can taste the classical dishes from the peninsula as the Vigil chickpea stew, the Buñuelos (fritters) and the famous Torrijas or French toast, but we can also enjoy in the Canary Islands typical dishes with the local flavours of the archipelago. Among these, we have to emphasize the fish, including the traditional Sancocho, a salted fish that is accompanied with potatoes, and Tollos (dogfish) with sauce, which are prepared with boiled mojo. The Vigil chickpea stew has always been present at Easter tables, invariably for decades, besides the confectionery with the representative pancakes (of flour, pumpkin, banana, sweet potato...).

Moreover, if you spend your holidays in Lanzarote, you can enjoy the special Easter activities that the animation team of our Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel & Resort prepares every year at the hotel, as its traditional family themed dinner, where Princesa Yaiza faces thrilling adventures during an evening of great fun for the whole family.
