Events calendar Lanzarote

According to a popular legend, the patron saint of the island of Lanzarote, "San Ginés" appeared floating in the waters of the Charco around 1700. This fiesta is always an occasion for extraordinary moments and a fiery atmosphere with a full programme of cultural and sporting events: concerts and festivals of Canarian rock and folklore (music and dances), homage to local wines, football matches and above all the election of Miss Lanzarote in the beauty contest, regattas and fireworks on the last day.

This folk festival of the Virgin, in honour of the island's patron saint, celebrates the miracle of 1824, when the village of Mancha Blanca, a locality southwest of Tinajo, was spared the lava flow that stopped just before the village. During these same days, the village receives all the craftsmen from Lanzarote, but also from the Canary Islands and Spain on this day particularly followed by all. The virgin festivals take place on all the islands, each of which has its own protective virgin. Most pleasant atmosphere.
