the film festival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; the Latin music festival in Arona; the opera and zarzuela seasons; the art exhibitions in Lanzarote's Contemporary Art Museum and in the Atlantic Centre of Modern Art in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; 'El Tanque' cultural centre and the numerous museums in each of the islands are all a clear demonstration of the abundant cultural life to be enjoyed in the islands throughout the year.<BR> <BR> All of the above effortlessly complement the multiple traditions and popular feasts such as the 'Lustrales de la Palma' and their popular 'Dance of the Dwarfs' (which takes place every five years) or the procession of the 'Virgen de Los Reyes' (Virgin of the Kings) in El Hierro, 'las Alfombras del Corpus Christie' in La Orotova (where the streets are carpeted in flowers) and the festival of 'la Bajada de la Rama' in Agaete. In addition there are the incredibly colourful carnivals, celebrated throughout the Canaries but at their most ostentatious in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.<BR> <BR> Throughout history the fertility of Canarian cultural has provided, and continues to provide, personalities in all areas of the Arts from literature to architecture passing by way of painting, sculpture, poetry and music. With personalities such as Benito Pérez Galdós, Manolo Millares, César Manrique, Óscar Domínguez, and Alfredo Kraus, creativeness in the Canaries has become universal.<BR> <BR> Cultural marks can be traced in the patrimonial history of the islands. It is a portrait of Canarian life both in times gone by and the present day. Sports cannot be omitted from this cultural framework, being as they are a cultural manifestation deeply rooted in the customs of the Canarian people. </font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(<EM><STRONG><A onclick="window.open('http://www.canarias.org/eng/cultura/cultura.html','','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=770,height=540')" href="javascript:;">More information </A></STRONG></EM>)</font></p></td> <td width="20"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="130" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"><img src="img/tranparent.gif" width="120" height="8"></td> <td height="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="130" bgcolor="#996633"></td> <td align="center" bgcolor="#996633" class="lienpetit"> </td> </tr> </table><a href="sitemap/sitemap.htm" class="sitemap"><font size="1" color="#F5F5F5">site map</font></a> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
