Next month Jack and his camera lens take us on a breathtaking journey through the narrow streets of La Orotava’s old quarter to witness the creation of Tenerife’s most transient works of art.
Using petals, seeds and coloured sand, the Alfombristas (carpet makers) of La Orotava create vast biblical masterpieces alongside intricately detailed patterns along the streets and in the main Plaza of this stunning Renaissance town, solely for the purpose of having them walked over by the evening’s Corpus Christi procession.
Witness the incredible tapestries of La Orotava and find out why Jack took the rap for the Cuban Revolution in May’s issue of Living Tenerife.
