The Telde City Council has issued a notice for divers at Tufia beach, urging them to exercise extreme caution on Sunday, September 13th, due to the traditional maritime-terrestrial procession for the Ojos de Garza festivities.

The procession, which will take place depending on sea conditions and existing safety measures, is scheduled to begin its land-based segment between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM. Subsequently, weather permitting, the maritime procession will commence, departing from Ojos de Garza beach towards Tufia beach, before returning to its origin.
The council emphasized the importance of exercising extreme caution in the area where the boat is expected to arrive in Tufia, as this beach is frequently used for diving activities. Divers are advised to avoid the arrival zone and to pay close attention to any safety indications and signage.
The City Council reminds the public that the maritime procession's progress is contingent on sea conditions, and the utmost priority will be given to ensuring the safety of both participants and other beach users. The council expresses its gratitude in advance for the cooperation and responsibility of users in Ojos de Garza and Tufia, particularly those engaged in nautical and diving activities, to facilitate the smooth running of this traditional celebration.
