The Castillo del Romeral will begin its traditional festivities in honour of the Archangel Saint Michael and the Virgin of Carmen, celebrating its centenary this year from 27 September to 6 October. Organised by the town's festival committee and with the support of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Festivities and Events Department, the festivities will include a varied programme of popular and religious events for all audiences. Councillor Yilenia Vega highlighted the efforts of the residents in creating a special programme in honour of 100 years of festive tradition in the fishing village.

 

The programme begins with a parade, followed by the water festival and the proclamation, and during the weekend there will be a procession and musical performances by local groups. Throughout the week, events will be held such as the dance and sports gala, domino and petanque tournaments, and the election of the Junior and Senior queen. There will also be activities for adults and children, including a street party, a salsa workshop and musical performances by groups such as Grupo Leyenda Joven and Orquesta Armonía Show.
