PROGRAM OF THE MONTAÑA DE LOS VÉLEZ FESTIVALS HERE
An exhibition of unique vehicles will begin this weekend the Santa Cruz festivities, in the Ágüimense neighborhood of Montaña de Los Vélez. It will take place in the square and its surrounding streets this Sunday, July 21, starting at 09:30 a.m. and will be the first of the activities included in the festival program, which will last until July 28.
The Santa Cruz festivities remember every year the roots of this enclave, whose settlement is historically linked to the development of agriculture in the Southeast of the island of Gran Canaria. Over the years, Montaña de Los Vélez has become a place of residence for families of very diverse origins, so the festivals serve to promote the feeling of belonging to the community, encourage neighborhood coexistence and celebrate the collective bond with the identity, values and history of this neighborhood.
The events scheduled for next week will include children's activities and games in the square, from Monday to Friday, at 17:00 p.m. On Monday, July 22, there will also be a futsal tournament in the sports hall, a zanga tournament in the Senior Center and a hi-fi stopover in the square starting at 21:00 p.m., accompanied by the group New Dreams .
