San Roque Romería
About the plan
The picturesque town of Garachico is getting ready to celebrate its most deeply rooted event: the San Roque Romería. This important patron saint festival, representing one of Garachico's most cherished traditions and the main event on its festive calendar, takes place on 16 August and is a must-attend event to experience Canarian tradition on the island.
Throughout this festive day, Garachico's historic quarter, declared a Historic-Artistic Site, fills with life and colour. You can admire:
- Decorated carts adorned with traditional motifs
- Teams of oxen parading
- Numerous participants dressed in traditional Canarian costumes
- Lively parrandas (traditional music groups) performing through the streets with music and joy
The atmosphere is a vibrant combination of popular fervour and a deep connection to Canarian culture and traditions. Admission is free for all attendees, inviting everyone to enjoy an authentic and memorable experience.
