Corpus Christi, Religious Festival in La Orotava. Masterpieces of sand carpets. The work of art which takes days to prepare using coloured sand from Mount Teide, which is then drizzled on to the floor to create biblical scenes. The experts will use 21 different colours of sand. Each year the carpets have a new theme. There are 20 different sand tapestries. The threee largest are 7 by 8 m. Enjoy the photos and thank you so much for your interest.
