Events begin on May 31 and the day of the flower carpets is Thursday, June 2.

The sand carpets can be seen before then but the fresh flower carpets will be made the morning of June 2 when the procession will be held that evening.

Usually Sean ,the procession walks through the carpet ,so I would think not .
In Adeje the Salt Carpets are prepared on the Friday , see them on Saturday into Sunday morning then the procession walks through them!
Not sure of Adeje date but usually end of first week in June .

Ah, so its actually celebrated on the Octave of Corpus Christi, not the day itself - how strange . . . .

Corpus Christi, as I understand varies every year and is all to do when Easter falls. Great occasion and well worth seeing especially in La Oratava.

Seanocelt.....there would be nothing left of the carpets on Friday the third as they are cleaned up after the procession walks on them the evening of Thursday the 2nd.

And yes Orotava has its celebration of Corpus on the 8th day which is a custom of many years so that people from other areas can come to see it after their celebrations of Corpus are over. (That's more or less a simple explanation but you can find out the details of that online on an Orotava site. I will look for it and come back and post a link later.) :)

Sorry to be a pain... but last year there was a fab vintage car display in Orotava around Corpus C. Anyone know if and when it's on this year?
