The widows will be wailing for an entirely different reason tonight, as news just in is that all of today's Carnaval events in Santa Cruz have been suspended because of the weather alert.
The Entierro de la Sardina (Burial of the Sardine) has been postponed until Friday, February 19th, at 9 p.m.
Also suspended are tonight's firework display and the dancing in the Plaza de La Candelaria, plus the attractions in the funfair will not be operating.
Meanwhile, the Tenerife Island Corporation is recommending that citizens should not leave their homes, because of the bad weather, with winds of up to 120 kph and heavy rains predicted. They also remind people to bring in anything loose from balconies and roofs, such as flower pots, etc., that could fall into the road.
