Tunte and his neighbors woke up on Tuesday the 25th, at 05:00 a.m., to say goodbye to the Festivities in Honor of Santiago Apóstol. The neighbors did not miss the traditional flowered Diana that was celebrated with the company of the Agaete Band. Later, at 12:00 p.m., the mass offered by priest Eusebio Sánchez Domínguez began, a Eucharist in which he appealed to the unity of the neighbors to “keep the town of Tunte alive and prevent the depopulation of the area.” The Achimencey Folklore Association participated in the celebration of the mass.

 

 

After its completion, the image of Santiago Apóstol toured the streets accompanied by members of the municipal corporation, headed by the mayor of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana city council, Marco Aurelio Pérez; and the Councilor for Celebrations and Events, Yilenia Vega. The music band 'La Charanguita los Amigos' and the military escort formed by the Marine Infantry Spender Squadron of the Naval Command of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria were not missing from the event; ending with the floral and musical offering to Santiago Apóstol by 'Las 8 Canary Islands'. 

 

 

The day was marked by the outbreak of fire that started in Cortijo de Huertas, in the municipality of Tejeda and whose smoke alerted the neighbors and authorities concentrated in the Plaza de Santiago.
