One of the south’s most traditional celebrations returns on Sunday, May 17th…
And Valle San Lorenzo will be busy from morning until late.
A Proper Romería Atmosphere
The festivities in honour of Nuestra Señora de Fátima combine:
- Religion
- Folklore
- Food

- And a very Canarian-style community atmosphere
Basically… expect a full village celebration.

Worth Knowing
These smaller traditional fiestas still feel very local compared to some of the island’s larger events.
More families, more community feel… and usually plenty of homemade food appearing from nowhere.
If you want to experience a proper Tenerife romería atmosphere without the massive crowds…
This is a good one.
