Fiestas de El Salvador

The Fiestas of El Salvador in Alajeró, La Gomera, are a tribute to the municipal patron, rich in tradition and joyous celebration. This annual event offers a variety of activities for all ages, from children's shows and creative workshops to traditional games that evoke the region's cultural heritage. Music is a central element, with gatherings of chácaras and drums, instruments characteristic of the Canary Islands, and dances enlivened by infectious Latin music rhythms. The celebration also includes a solemn mass in the old parish church of El Salvador, one of the most historic on the island, followed by a procession in which the community, accompanied by chácaras and drums, walks through the streets in a display of faith and devotion.
