Canarian Government changes Public Holidays

And, not everyone is happy about it. Travel Agents in the Canary Islands say that the Canarian Government's decision to make Jueves Santo (Holy Thursday), the day before Good Friday, which has always been a holiday as part of Easter's Semana Santa (Holy Week), into a normal working day this year, in order to make Canaries Day, on May 30th into a holiday, will have a serious effect on the economy.
