Tourist and Cultural Information

May 25, 2008

Culture loving visitors have a long list of both private and public art galleries and museums at their disposition: history, archaeology, anthropology, ethnography, science, crafts, fine arts and natural sciences. On the musical front, every year, there is an opera season and a “zarzuela” – light opera – season, plus a musical event of the first order, the Canary Island Music Festival, held at the beginning of the year, with the world´s leading soloists and symphony orchestras as the guest performers.

The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, acclaimed as one of the best in Spain by the critics, organises a regular season of concerts from early October, through until the end of May. Concerning popular festivities, the pilgrimages are full of the colour of Tenerife folklore, while the festivities of Corpus Christi and Easter are impregnated with pure religious tradition. But, the most cosmopolitan and popular fiesta is undoubtedly the Carnival, which has been declared of International Tourist Interest.
