Rainy day in San José

Welcome to the Canary Islands, where the sun always shines!

Today is a public holiday.  All Saints Day is traditionally when people remember their departed loved ones and decorate their graves, but I don’t think many people will be doing that today. The wind has largely stopped, but the rain is still pouring down.
