As tradition dictates, the Cultural Association of Teguise, when February arrives, the Diabletes of Teguise make an appearance on Saturdays and Sundays through the cobbled streets of the Historic Site of La Villa.
More and more parents are gathering to accompany their children in this tradition, who, accompanied by some adult Diabletes, enjoy running after the residents and the many visitors, who are perplexed when they approach them shouting "Elegua" with their traditional clothing and the bag tied to a stick. And without causing harm, some try to get as close as possible while explaining the meaning of the Diablete and allowing themselves to be photographed "yes, with their faces covered by the mask".
On Sunday afternoon, among the adult Diabletes was also the president of the Cultural Association, Víctor Padrón, who not only informed everyone interested in the history of this cultural heritage, unique in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands, but also advised all the children, who are increasingly participating with their parents.
Anyone interested in joining the family of Los Diabletes must be 18 years old and, most importantly, strictly comply with each of the rules contained in the current statutes. Children, young people and adults are very excited about the next event. It will be on the first Friday of March at 8:00 p.m. in the Plaza de los Leones, where the "Traditional Carnival" will take place and where Los Diabletes play a very important role.
