The Teror neighbourhood of El Palmar kicks off its patronal festivities in honour of the Virgen de las Nieves this Saturday, 25 July, with events that will last until 15 August.

The El Palmar neighbourhood, in the Gran Canaria municipality of Teror, begins its patronal festivities in honour of the Virgen de las Nieves this Saturday, 25 July. The celebration will run until 15 August with a programme that combines religious, popular, and traditional events.

The inaugural day will start with the procession of the image of the Virgen de las Nieves to the parish, following the usual route. Next, local resident Antonio Carmelo Sánchez Sánchez will read the proclamation, and the performance by Los Guayres del Palmar will provide the musical touch.

The programme includes a notable event on 30 July, the 'Youth Day', and on Friday 31, the concert 'Voices with Roots of the People'. The offering will take place on Saturday, 1 August at 20:00, featuring traditional games and activities with animals for children and adults, as well as performances by the Parranda 'Pa'lante' and soloist César Santana.

Humour will arrive on 4 August at 20:30 with a performance by Maestro Florido. The following day, 5 August, the main day of Our Lady of the Snows, will see the procession of the image around the parish temple and, at 20:30, the show 'Making a Path' by Pedro Manuel Afonso.

On 7 August, a 'Cuban Night' is planned, and on Saturday 8, 'The Descent of the Hard Egg' will take place, featuring music from Pepe Benavente, Reina de Sal, Furia Joven, among others. The grand finale will be on Saturday 15 August, with the return of the image of the Virgen de las Nieves to the Ermita de la Peña.

These festivities are a significant attraction for locals and visitors, who come to El Palmar each year to enjoy a programme that combines tradition and entertainment. The Teror City Council encourages participation in all events, which will be held in compliance with safety measures.

For more information, interested parties can consult the complete programme on the official channels of the council.
