In a Canarian romería, the paseo romero is the opening parade: decorated ox carts, romeros in costume, wine and gofio offered to spectators. It is not an imported spectacle: it is the village in the street.

What you see
Carts prepared between neighbors, decorated oxen, slow advance. In La Orotava, the Romería de San Isidro Labrador (June) is one of the clearest. Other municipalities follow the calendar of their patron saint.

Tip
Arrive before the carts depart to talk with locals. During the parade, accept what is offered, in moderation: the day is long.
