Traditional festivals 
Photo: P. Marelli Gran Canaria has not lost a close link with tradition, folk festivals are what is most real and you can see by visiting the charming villages of the hinterland.
The party I love most is the Pilgrimage, is something difficult to explain to those who has never lived.
The word comes from "romero": the pilgrims to Rome. It 'a celebration of Christian origin, which now, especially in the Canary Islands have become a predominantly popular.
The most important is to Teror Gran Canaria,
dedicated to the Virgen del Pino, but almost each country has its Romero and everywhere happen, you will have the honor to experience a moment of special magic all over the country is celebrating and all, but all the people wearing traditional costumes traditional Canarian, which vary depending on the area or island of origin, and parade through the streets slow the cars with the cheapest (fruits, vegetables, corn, wheat ...), accompanied by groups of musicians playing the Timple (Canarian traditional instrument) and dance groups; also above and around the kitchen carts and offer them food and drink to all those who are there to participate with them in the party ... and saucers!
But beyond all that you can see, is all that you can live and feel.
The Pilgrimage is emotion, sharing, and joy. And 'let coinvogere, dance and sing, eat together, and feel in harmony with those around you.
It 's a special celebration and sincere, that's where you can not be surprised that something strange that you feel is just pure magic ...
