The fiestas for the town's co-patron began on Thursday and will run until May 9th, but the Romeria is the biggest event. Tegueste town hall's website has more information (in Spanish) and a PDF program to download.
It's certain that the local wine will be flowing - April is also wine month in Tegueste - during the procession of floats decorated with natural produce, carts, livestock, yoked oxen, dancers, etc., accompanied by crowds of people in traditional dress. Like all romeria's, it promises to be a fun, lively and colourful day out.
