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.
Quand
📅 Mid-July (la date exacte varie d'une année à l'autre — consultez notre Guide complet de la romería (à l'approche de la date)
À quoi s'attendre
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.
