What is Noche de Finados?
Noche de Finados is a Canarian tradition for remembering the dead. It is usually observed between 31 October and 2 November.
The Gobierno de Canarias describes the practice as a blend of pagan and Christian roots. It honours the dead while also celebrating life.
What can visitors expect at Plaza de España?
