The festive day saw high participation from residents, groups, and visitors who filled the town's streets, highlighting Canarian tradition, popular music, and community spirit.
The pilgrimage route, which began at 6:30 PM from the area of the Municipal Stadium, traversed Avenida de Gáldar and Avenida de Tirajana before concluding at the Parish Church of San Fernando for the offering.
Eight carts and groups, including Carreta El Poblado, Carreta Vecinos del Poblado de Maspalomas, El Patronato, El Coche D Hora, La Quesera, Cuarto de Tula, La Latina, Jóvenes Nacionalistas SBT, and El Tenique, many with their own musical ensembles, enlivened the procession with a folkloric atmosphere.
Attendees enjoyed a celebration marked by hospitality and the promotion of Canarian roots, the central theme of this year's festivities. The arrival at San Fernando Square was the setting for the emotional offering to the patron saint, with participants dressed in traditional attire.
“"It is very satisfying to see how year after year this pilgrimage grows in participation, strengthening the roots of the San Fernando festivities."
“"The pride of seeing San Fernando take to the streets again to celebrate our traditions with such participation and popular sentiment. The pilgrimage represents one of the most authentic expressions of our identity, where neighbors, groups, and different generations share the same space through coexistence and respect for our customs."
The first deputy mayor added that these festivities demonstrate San Bartolomé de Tirajana's capacity to keep its roots alive and the role of neighborhoods in passing down traditions.
