A festival with its first documented procession on 15 May 1605, declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Nacional (Festival of National Tourist Interest) in 1985 and recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Canary Islands. Fifteen neighbourhood groups spend months building arches up to ten metres tall and carpets made of petals, seeds and branches gathered from across the municipality.
