One of Tenerife’s most unusual and entertaining traditions is returning to Icod de los Vinos this November. The town has released the official programme for the 2026 Arrastre de Tablas, better known as the Tables of San Andrés.
It’s a tradition that involves people riding wooden boards down the steep streets of Icod, reaching some fairly impressive speeds along the way. Not something you’d necessarily recommend trying on your first visit to Tenerife!
This year’s official poster has been created by Canarian artist Víctor Jaubert, capturing the character and spirit of a celebration that has been part of the town’s identity for generations.

If you’ve never seen the Tables of San Andrés in action, it’s certainly something different from your usual Tenerife festival.
