Las galletas popular traditions



People in Las Galletas observe a variety of holidays and festivals each year. Being predominantly Catholic, the locals can be extra devout in their observance.

The major celebration of Las Galletas is the Carnival, which takes place every year in February. This is a week-long celebration that draws hundreds, even thousands, of visitors each year. During Carnival week, people dress in a bewildering array of colourful and lively costumes.

Las galletas, Tenerife - Popular traditions
After the gaiety of the Carnival, the mood quickly turns sombre as the Lenten season sets in. During the weeks leading up to, and including, the Holy Week, locals and Catholics perform various religious acts. The Holy Week culminates in Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

 

During all of these festivities there is always a lot of food and drink around to make the celebrations even more enjoyable. Las Galletas is a small fishing village and so they have plenty of fresh fish al year round but especially for these special occasions.
