The celebrations around New Year's Eve and Epiphany are a very special experience in Tenerife, especially in the north of the island. In this blog post, we would like to give our guests at Villa Larnia an insight into how these festivals are celebrated here.
New Year's Eve in Tenerife is a celebration of lights, music, and joie de vivre. In the north of the island, in towns like El Sauzal, Puerto de la Cruz, and La Orotava, you'll find lively celebrations.
In many communities, public events are organized with music, dancing, and sometimes fireworks. The squares fill with people who come together to welcome the new year.
A special custom is eating twelve grapes at each stroke of midnight. Each grape represents a month of the new year and is said to bring good luck.
Many locals and tourists flock to the beaches to welcome the new year with music and bonfires.
The Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th is an important public holiday in Spain, and therefore also in Tenerife.
On the eve of January 6th, traditional Three Kings parades take place in many cities. In El Sauzal, La Laguna, and other locations, the Three Kings walk through the streets, distributing sweets and gifts to children.
It is also a day when families come together to exchange gifts and share a meal. The traditional dish is the "Roscón de Reyes," a ring-shaped cake with hidden surprises.
Cultural centers and theaters often host special events and performances related to the story of the Three Wise Men.
These festivities offer our guests a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and experience special moments on the island. Whether you participate in the public celebrations, attend the parades, or simply soak up the festive atmosphere, New Year's Eve and Epiphany are unforgettable experiences in Tenerife.
We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Larnia during this festive time and creating unforgettable moments together.
