Romería Barquera del Médano
About the plan
The Romería Barquera del Médano takes place in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona, and is one of Tenerife island's most original and charming celebrations. This event, held in the popular coastal town of El Médano, is a vibrant tribute to the area's seafaring past.
Its format is unique in Tenerife: instead of traditional ox carts, participants parade carrying decorated boats, creating a distinctive and meaningful spectacle. This romería is a festival with a strong local flavour, perfectly blending Canarian folklore, rich gastronomy, and deeply rooted traditions in the unparalleled coastal setting of the island's south. Entry is free for all attendees.
Don't miss this traditional festival in Granadilla de Abona on 20/09, an unmissable encounter with culture and the sea in southern Tenerife.
