The little neigbourhood of Ayagaures (at the end of GC-504) in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana is celebrating their patron saint festivities in honour of Niño Dios between 25-27 April 2025. These festivities have been organized by the Ayagaures Festival Commission and will feature cultural events, live music, traditional games, and much more.
As marked by tradition, which began in the 1950s, the residents of the Ayagaures ravine will ask the image of the Child God for a good year of rain to fill the dam and guarantee the irrigation of their crops. A program that reflects the richness of traditions and offers moments of fun, coexistence, and spirituality.
