New Mago and Maga Infantil Crowned in Santa Cruz… And the Plaza Was Packed

This is one of those events that still pulls a proper crowd…

And this year was no different.

The Winners

Alejandro Ramos and Martina Torres were named:

  • Mago Infantil 2026
  • Maga Infantil 2026

Right in the middle of a full Plaza de La Candelaria.

The Moment

They took to the stage in traditional dress…

Not just for show, but done properly.

  • Alejandro wore the Hombre de Tacoronte style
  • Martina represented Gran Canaria traditional daily dress

Details that actually matter in these events.

The Atmosphere

Around 30 children took part…

With a full musical production running alongside it.

So not just a parade… more like a full show.

The Honour Courts

Both winners were joined by their courts:

Maga Infantil:

  • Sara Adriana Pérez
  • Lucía Évora
  • Gia Mora

Mago Infantil:

  • Owen García
  • Diego González
  • Abraham Daniel

Who Decides These Things

The jury wasn’t random…

It included people properly involved in traditional Canarian dress and craft.

Which, to be fair, you want for something like this.

Why It Still Matters

It might look like a simple gala…

But it’s one of the few events where younger generations actually get involved in tradition properly.

Not just watching it… wearing it, learning it.

Worth Knowing

These events can go either way…

But when the square fills up like this, it’s a good sign people still care.

And that’s half the battle with traditions.
