Corpus Christi — Salt Carpets of Lanzarote

One of the island’s most beautiful religious-cultural traditions, where streets and plazas are decorated with colourful salt carpets (alfombras de sal) for Corpus Christi celebrations. On Lanzarote, this is usually organised at municipal / parish level, so the exact locations and times vary by town (for example, Teguise and Yaiza publish their own local programmes and coverage). Municipal sources from Teguise and Yaiza confirm the tradition of community-made salt carpets in public squares and around parish celebrations.
📆 Annual event (movable date; linked to the Corpus Christi calendar — in 2026 Corpus Christi falls on Thursday, 4 June, while local carpet-making/processions may happen that day or the following weekend depending on the municipality)
🕒 Times vary by municipality and parish programme (often carpet-making starts earlier in the day / afternoon, with mass and procession later)
