Loro Parque: a Historic One-Year Closing of the Doors
The zoo in Puerto de la Cruz took this day as an opportunity to make an emotional video in which its employees tell how they experienced this year
PUERTO DE LA CRUZ, SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, SPAIN, March 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ This Monday, 15 March 2021, it has been exactly one year since the historic closure of Loro Parque. Throughout its history, since it opened for the first time on a rainy 17th December 48 years ago, Loro Parque had never closed and operated 365 days a year. On 15 March 2020, due to an unprecedented global crisis, it had to close. What was expected to last only 15 days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into a year, with no clear date for reopening at this point.
