Within municipal activities to commemorate International Women's Day, the Social Action area is organizing a day just for them. The Ayuntamiento de El Rosario has opened the registration period for a free women's excursion to the municipality of Puerto de la Cruz, which will take place next Saturday, March 21. This excursion, organized within municipal acts in remembrance of International Women's Day celebrated every March 8, is for women aged 18 and over who are registered in El Rosario. The women who sign up will enjoy a tour of some of the most emblematic places in the historic center of the northern municipality and will share a different day in one of Tenerife's best-known tourist destinations. As the excursion closes, participants will enjoy a dinner dance, which will crown the day in a festive and collegial atmosphere. Music and dance will be the protagonists of this gathering that aims to create spaces of fun and connection among women. This leisure offer is completely free and includes bus transport, departing from three different points in the municipality: La Esperanza, Llano del Moro and El Chorrillo. Interested women can register by calling 922 01 01 60 Ext. 1100-2011-2014. The approximate return time is planned for 22:00.

SCHEDULE

• 14:30 h Procession of San José

Date: Saturday, 21 March 2026, Time: 8:00 PM. Show: Foscurí. Venue: Teatro El Sauzal. Genre: theatre comedy. Company: Abubukaka. Age recommendation: For ages 12 and up. Duration: 70 minutes.

Schedule: 8:00 PM Foscurí

Ticket price: €12 Regular rate and €9 Special rate (for students, under 25 and over 65, and residents of the El Sauzal municipality).

Synopsis: After 18 years of making laughter the best antidote to reality, the Abubukaka company returns with «Foscurí», a play where irony, satire and dark humor go hand in hand to illuminate what others prefer to keep in the dark.

In a world where truth always seems to have a filter, and lies reign over the show, Foscurí is the hand-held lamp that lets us see the chaos from an angle that only Abubukaka knows how to show: the most absurd, the most ferocious, and above all, the most fun.

This is not a show to take too seriously. Here we talk about everything: from institutions that think they're safe to fashions that trap us and governments that forget us. «Foscurí» is a cry hidden behind a smile, a critique disguised as comedy, a reflection wrapped in contagious laughter. And if you don't understand everything that's happening, don't worry: perhaps «Foscurí» isn't meant to be understood… but to be lived.

Do you dare to look at reality unfiltered? Come laugh at everything you've been taught to take seriously. Don't let the light go out!
