The municipality of Barlovento, on La Palma, will celebrate the XXIX edition of the San Martín Festival on Sunday, November 15, 2026, an event honoring the local winemaking tradition with the emblematic 'Jura de la Pipa'.

The festival, organized by the Regulatory Council of the Denomination of Origin Vinos de La Palma in collaboration with the Barlovento City Council, will take place within the framework of the Agricultural and Artisan Market dedicated to San Martín.
Attendees can explore local market stalls, enjoy a cultural visit to rediscover the corners and history of the town center, and experience the most anticipated and magical moment of the day: the traditional «Jura de la Pipa». This rite, full of symbolism and Palmero pride, recreates the opening of the new harvest. It is the moment when the new wine sees the light, a toast that connects the present with the legacy of our elders, highlighting the winemaking soul, customs, and heritage that define us as a people.
Furthermore, the talent of new generations once again weaves bridges with tradition. For the fourth consecutive year, the festival shines with its own light thanks to the poster contest, in which the students of the Manolo Blahnik School of Art have poured all their creativity and affection into designing this year's announcement poster.
The organization invites winemakers, grape growers, and the general public to participate in the organized activities, with the aim of highlighting Palmero wines, winemaking traditions, and the cultural roots of the municipality of Barlovento.
