The Baile de Magos in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one of the most anticipated events of the May Festivities, quickly sold out its tables, reaffirming its popularity while the City Council promotes sustainability measures to preserve tradition.

This event, which brings together thousands of people, will take place next Saturday, May 2nd, around the Church of La Concepción. The demand was so high that table reservations sold out in just 20 minutes, demonstrating the deep roots of this celebration among residents and visitors to the capital of Tenerife.
To ensure authenticity and respect for customs, attendance at the Baile de Magos requires traditional attire. Access controls have been established to ensure that all participants comply with this regulation, prohibiting entry to those not properly dressed.
In addition to clothing, the City Council has implemented a series of guidelines to promote sustainability during the event. Open fires are prohibited outside designated areas, allowing the use of camping-gas stoves with loads of up to 6 kilos only in the Bravo Murillo area. The use of charcoal, wood, or electric barbecues is strictly forbidden.

"The 'Tradition and sustainability go hand in hand' catalog is an essential guide for all attendees, promoting environmentally responsible practices."

Key recommendations include proper waste separation into recycling and organic bins, the prohibition of single-use plastics such as plates, cutlery, and cups, and the encouragement of reusable or biodegradable alternatives. Attendees are also urged to carefully calculate food quantities to avoid waste and to take all personal belongings brought from home back with them, thus maintaining the cleanliness and environment of the city.
