Tahiche once again experienced one of the most anticipated days of its patron saint festivities this Saturday with the celebration of the traditional Romería and Offering to Santiago Apóstol, an event that brought together hundreds of pilgrims in a procession full of music, tradition, and camaraderie.
The pilgrimage began at 6:30 p.m. from the village hermitage and toured the main streets until reaching Plaza Los Fundadores, in the Sociocultural Center, where the image of Santiago Apóstol awaited the arrival of the pilgrims along with the mayor of Teguise, council authorities, the parish priest, and the Romera Mayor of Tahíche 2026, Naiala Cabrera Delgado, accompanied by her Ladies of Honor. Once again, the food collected during the offering will be donated to Cáritas, maintaining the solidarity of this celebration.
The procession was led by the Guagime Folk Group and included the participation of A. F. El Chorro del Farrobillo and A. C. Acoidan, the Parranda Los Curbelos, A. F. Malpaís de la Corona, A. F. C. Altaja along with the Parranda El Lagar de Teseguite and the Parranda Los Valles, in addition to the different carts that brought the pilgrimage parade to life, filling the village streets with music, color, and tradition.
At the end of the offering, the awards for this edition were presented. The prize for the best decorated street went to Mariano Brull street, while the award for the best decorated cart went to El Abuelo Juan, from Volcán de Tahiche. Likewise, the Romero and Romera Mayor de los Mayores were proclaimed, Jeremías Callero and Carmen Camacho.
The celebration continued with the traditional Baile del Romero, which gathered a large audience and featured performances by Parranda Los Valles, Son de Mar, the Tahiche Folklore School, and the group La Resistencia, putting the finishing touch to a festive day.
The Romería and Offering to Santiago Apóstol once again demonstrated the deep roots that this tradition maintains among the residents of Tahiche. The involvement of the participating groups, the cart owners, those who decorated the streets, and the hundreds of people who participated in the procession made possible, once again, a day marked by camaraderie, folklore, and the pride of a town that continues to keep its traditions alive.
