The festivity, which brought together residents and visitors dressed in typical Canarian costumes, reaffirmed the value of popular traditions in community life. The day was marked by music and dance from parranda groups and folk ensembles that enlivened the town's streets.
Animal-drawn carts, adorned for the occasion, accompanied the romeros on a route that culminated in front of the church, where the image of San Isidro Labrador is located. At this point, participants made an offering of agricultural products and basic foodstuffs, which will be distributed among vulnerable families in the municipality.
“"For young people, it's a beautiful feeling because it's our tradition and our culture. Getting together with family, singing and dancing, is something super nice."
The romería stood out as an intergenerational event, where young and old come together to preserve Uga's cultural identity. The elders, in particular, enlivened the celebration with singing and dancing, culminating in a folk offering before the church.
The festivity not only celebrates devotion to the patron saint but also strengthens family and community ties, transmitting cultural and emotional values from generation to generation. The Yaiza City Council, through its representatives, highlighted the relevance of San Isidro for Uga, a town deeply linked to agriculture and livestock, and thanked the public participation and the work of security and emergency forces.
This romería is part of the local festivities, which will extend until May 16, with the main day in honor of San Isidro Labrador scheduled for May 15. The full program of activities is available on the official website of the Yaiza City Council.
