Pilgrimages in the Canary Islands: the soul of our festivals

The Canary Islands are not only known for their beaches and volcanoes but also for their vibrant cultural life and traditions. Among all the celebrations, the romerías stand out as the ultimate expression of folklore and the community spirit of the archipelago. These are festivals where music, traditional costumes, decorated carts, and gastronomy come together to pay tribute to the patron saints of each locality.

At Las Casas Tenerife, we invite you to experience these popular festivities up close, staying in the heart of the islands and feeling the authentic atmosphere that surrounds them.

What is a romería?

The romerías are festive processions that combine the religious and the popular. They are held in honour of a saint or virgin, gathering locals and visitors who, dressed in traditional attire, roam the streets accompanied by carts, animals, parrandas, and typical foods.

Each island, and even each village, has its own romerías, with particularities that make them unique. But they all share something essential: pride in their roots and collective joy.

The most notable romerías

Romería de San Benito Abad (La Laguna, Tenerife)

It is one of the most emblematic of the archipelago. It is celebrated in July and has been declared a National Tourist Interest Festival. A display of culture, music, and flavour that you cannot miss.

Romería de San Isidro Labrador (Los Realejos and La Orotava, Tenerife)

Another unmissable event for those visiting the island in spring. The carts overflowing with fruits, potatoes, gofio, and wine travel the streets amidst songs and dances.

Romería de la Virgen del Pino (Teror, Gran Canaria)

In September, this romería brings together thousands of faithful who pilgrimage from all corners of the island to the Basilica del Pino, one of the most important religious and festive events in the Canary Islands.
