Technically a “paseo romero” rather than a full romería, this smaller-scale version takes place in Puertito de Güímar, a tiny fishing hamlet — a good option if you want the tradition on a more modest scale.
When
📅 Late July (exact date varies year to year — check our full romería guide closer to the time)
What makes it different
A “paseo romero” is a scaled-down version of a full romería — shorter route, smaller crowd, set against the backdrop of a working fishing hamlet rather than a town centre. If the bigger romerías sound overwhelming, this is a gentler introduction.
What to bring
- Comfortable, stainable clothing
- Sun protection and water
- Cash for stalls
What time to arrive
Given the smaller scale, you don’t need the same early start you’d want for El Médano or Güímar’s main romería — arriving around the start time itself should be enough to find a good spot.
Parking
Puertito de Güímar is a small hamlet with limited parking — arrive with some time to spare and expect a short walk in.
Puertito de Güímar is about 30 minutes from El Médano. See our full guide to romerías near El Médano, and book your stay at The Tree House Hostel.
