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.
Quando
📅 Mid-July (la data esatta varia di anno in anno — consulta il nostro Guida completa alla romería (più si avvicina la data)
Cosa aspettarsi
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.
Cosa portare
- Abbigliamento comodo e facile da lavare
- Sun protection and water — July in the south of Tenerife is hot
- Contanti per le bancarelle
A che ora arrivare
Expect the usual midday start, typical of Canarian romerías generally.
Parcheggio
Both are small-scale local fiestas — park centrally in either village before the route closes to traffic.
