Procession of La Esperanza
About this event
The Procession of La Esperanza. On the first Sunday in August, La Esperanza hosts a procession in honour of Our Lady of Hope. Every year, the El Rosario processions brings together pilgrims dressed in traditional Canarian costume, who accompany the statue of the Virgin amidst decorated carts, cattle, dancing and singing. The procession sets off from the Parish Church of Our Lady of Hope and makes its way to the Town Hall square. Its mid-altitude location makes it one of the most popular processions in the northern part of the island.

Él. De las tinieblas a la luz
Él. De las tinieblas a la luz (He. From Darkness to Light) comes to Teatro Leal in La Laguna on 21 November 2026. Inspired by the life and work of Mercedes Pinto, the production celebrates one of the leading voices in Canarian and Latin American culture. Drawing on her autobiographical novel Él (Him), alongside a selection of her poetry and personal testimony, the production reimagines her work as a contemporary opera. Set to music by Laura Vega, it explores violence, resistance and freedom, and the power of writing to change lives and keep memories alive.
