FIESTA DE SAN ANDRES (LOS REALEJOS)

Los Realejos is no stranger to this popular festival of the islands, where by custom the winemakers open the wineries to release their new wines. To this are added the castes, jareas, potatoes and sweet potatoes that on the night of the saint's holiday, on November 29, can be tasted in the homes of the municipality. But this celebration has another section: the tradition of dragging the pots. The custom seems to have different origins, although the most widespread is to resemble the noise of barrels and casks when they were lowered to the sea to clean them. Now picking up all the useless utensils and dragging them in healthy rivalry of which is the biggest pot or the one that makes the most usual is the most usual. Some years ago, groups of neighbors or groups meet to celebrate San Andr s with caste roasters and Canarian food, as happens in the vicinity of the Viera and Clavijo Circle.
