Today marks a year since we last printed a physical paper copy of the Canarian Weekly in Tenerife. On Friday 13th March 2020, issue number 1,147 hit the streets informing that the Tenerife Carnivals were being cancelled due to the spread of the coronavirus, and that news was filtering through that schools would be closing for 15 days.
As kids rejoiced and parents planned beach days for a fortnight, none of us knew what was ahead. Even on the Saturday night when the announcement of a 15 day lockdown was made by the Spanish Government, we were all saying to our friends and family: “see you in 2 weeks.”
