[ES] La ermita del Espíritu Santo, con un edificio más propio de una zona rural que del mismo corazón de Vegueta dada la enorme sencillez de sus líneas, se construyó en 1615.

En ella se venera desde antiguo la imagen del Cristo del Buen Fin, cuya cofradía, instituida en 1941 y revestida de largas capas rojas, saca en procesión de penitencia cada madrugada del Viernes Santo, constituyendo uno de los momentos más sugestivos de la Semana Santa en Las Palmas.

[EN] The hermitage of the Holy Spirit, with a building more typical of a rural area than of the very heart of Vegueta given the enormous simplicity of its lines, was built in 1615.

In it, the image of the Christ of the Good End has been venerated since ancient times, whose brotherhood, established in 1941 and dressed in long red capes, takes out in a penitential procession every Good Friday morning, constituting one of the most evocative moments of Holy Week in the city.
