Tenerife is experienced not only through its landscapes and climate, but also through its traditions. The island preserves unique celebrations that reflect its identity and the connection of its people with the sea and the land. Among the most authentic are the Baño de Cabras in Puerto de la Cruz, the Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen and the Carrera Popular de Los Gigantes—three events that showcase the living soul of Tenerife.

Baño de Cabras in Puerto de la Cruz: an ancestral tradition
Every June, the shores of Puerto de la Cruz fill with farmers, onlookers and visitors who gather to witness the Baño de Cabras, a tradition that dates back centuries. Shepherds take their animals to the sea to purify them and attract good fortune. The event, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, blends history, custom and a festive atmosphere that attracts locals and tourists alike.
BLUESEA Interpalace and BLUESEA Puerto Resort are perfect accommodation options to experience this unique celebration from the heart of the island’s north.

Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen: seafaring devotion
In many coastal towns across Tenerife, July becomes a month of celebration to honour the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of sailors. In Puerto de la Cruz, the image of the Virgin is carried out to sea in a procession accompanied by decorated boats, music and fireworks. It is a day filled with emotion, faith and community, reflecting the deep connection the people of Tenerife have with the ocean.

Carrera Popular de Los Gigantes: sport and local spirit
The Carrera Popular de Los Gigantes takes place every year in the south of the island and brings together athletes and enthusiasts along a seaside route framed by dramatic cliffs. More than a competition, it is a day of togetherness where sport, a festive atmosphere and spectacular scenery come together.
BLUESEA Lagos de César, located just a few minutes away, is the ideal starting point for those who want to enjoy this event or simply explore the natural beauty of the area.
