Vará del Pescao – Arinaga

This festivity in Arinaga is celebrated on the last Friday of August (30 August 2024) in honour of the local fishermen. Although it is not a religious event, it is highlighted by a joyful procession along the beachfront, featuring the “Barca de La Vará” as the main attraction. Accompanying this boat are about 20 vessels that, in a festive atmosphere, grill and distribute sardines among the attendees. The route begins at Risco Verde and extends along the promenade to the beach, creating a unique experience of community and celebration for all participants.

It is an unforgettable experience for both locals and tourists. From early afternoon until late at night, the Avenida de Los Pescadores will be filled with food and drink stalls, with fresh fish being the main dish. In addition, there will be live music, performances, and many other activities that guarantee fun for everyone.

This is part of the Fiestas del Pino in Arinaga, Agũimes
