The Tegueste City Council has presented the publication The Folkloric Tradition of Tegueste during the Late Franco Era (1960-1975), a study delving into the evolution of the municipality's cultural manifestations and popular traditions during that period.

The work, developed from historical documentation, photographs, and testimonies, offers a journey through some of the most representative expressions of Tegueste's cultural heritage, such as the Danza de las Flores, La Librea, and Los Barcos. It also analyzes the role played by folkloric groups, parrandas, and cultural associations in preserving and transmitting local customs and shaping the social life of the municipality.
This publication contributes to the recovery and dissemination of Tegueste's collective memory, while recognizing the efforts of individuals and groups who have helped keep alive the traditions that form part of the municipality's cultural identity.
The project has been funded by the Tenerife Island Council, through the subsidy for the recovery of historical-democratic memory 2025 (fourth edition).
