The video above is just a taste (if you don't have 90 odd minutes to spare), but if you do, below are links to all 11 videos (of around 9 minutes each) that make up the whole of the Via Crucis 2008 (Stations of the Cross or Way of the Cross), the depiction of the final hours (or Passion) of Jesus that is performed in Adeje in Tenerife every Easter on Good Friday.
Yer average holidaymaker, lazing about on the Costa Adeje or in Playa de las Américas will be completely oblivious to this wonderful piece of street theatre - which it can be appreciated for, whatever your religious convictions (if any) - going on at around mid-day, just a short bus or taxi ride away.
If you're thinking of coming to Tenerife for your Easter holidays (in 2009, Good Friday falls on April 10th), this event is well worth bearing in mind.
