About this experience

Festivals in Agulo is a year-round programme of traditional celebrations held in the village of Agulo, on the northern coast of La Gomera. It includes religious processions, live folk music, and local gastronomy events that reflect the island's heritage. Each festival is organised by the town council and local associations, with dates tied to the Catholic calendar and seasonal harvests.

Join the August fiesta in honour of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, which includes a street market, traditional Canarian wrestling, and a night-time torchlit descent from the church.
Sample local specialities at the autumn harvest festival, including palm honey, almogrote, and roasted chestnuts, served from stalls in the main square.
