The romería season near El Médano typically opens in July with two smaller fiestas on the same weekend: Los Blanquitos in Granadilla de Abona, and Los Olivos in Adeje.
Cuando
📅 Mid-July (la fecha exacta varía de un año a otro; consulta nuestra Guía completa de la romería (cuando se acerque la fecha)
Qué puedes esperar
Both are low-key, early-season romerías — a gentler start to the calendar than the bigger September fiestas, with smaller crowds and a relaxed, local atmosphere. We don’t have specific standout details documented for either beyond the traditional format (decorated carts, traditional dress, folk music, wine and gofio along the route) — if you’ve been to either and there’s something distinctive worth mentioning, let us know and we’ll update this post.
Qué hay que llevar
- Ropa cómoda y resistente a las manchas
- Sun protection and water — July in the south of Tenerife is hot
- Dinero en efectivo para los puestos
¿A qué hora hay que llegar?
Expect the usual midday start, typical of Canarian romerías generally.
Aparcamiento
Both are small-scale local fiestas — park centrally in either village before the route closes to traffic.
