Easter week is celebrated very intensively in Gran Canaria with several processions organised by the Roman Catholic Church. Below are photos of one of the Good Friday Processions starting and ending at the Santa Anna Cathedral in Las Palmas. The procession started with the statues of Mary and the crucified Jesus Christ exiting the cathedral
The master of ceremonies with his portable loudspeaker
arriving back at the cathedral
and reentering the cathedral
Afterwards, we decided to cycle further along the water front past the fishing village of Cristobalpast Cristobal's small fishing harbour
and the adjacent sheltered beach
to our objective, the new statue of a godlike figure blowing a conch shell
which we pass everytime we drive to the airport
