15 euros for the port concert, nothing for Chambao and Marta Sánchez: the Canary Islands weekend

Gran Canaria: retro in Valsequillo, Verdi in the port

The fiesta programme of Valsequillo names no admission price at all for this weekend. In Las Palmas the 30th TEMUDAS closes: everything on the Plaza de Santa Catalina is free, only two items cost money.

The programme is Verdi's overture to La forza del destino and Stravinsky's Firebird suite. The shuttle from the Centro Comercial El Muelle is included in the price and, according to the town hall, the only way onto the site; nobody publishes a departure time.

North Tenerife: Tacoronte by night, Los Realejos by day

The island's biggest fiesta is the Cristo de Tacoronte. The town hall publishes its programme only as a PDF on Google Drive; the times below come from the listings site Lagenda, the names from the town hall, and no source names a price. The seven dates in Los Realejos are free too, four of them only with booking.

South Tenerife: a romería with no published route

In San Miguel de Abona the 41st Romería sets off on Saturday: mass at 13:00, departure from the Cooperativa CASMI at 14:30, orchestras at 17:30. Which streets the procession takes appears in no programme, and there is no official road-closure notice; restrictions in the town centre are still likely.

Plenty in the south is free: the Parradisco open-air cinema in Vilaflor on Friday from 19:30 on the Plaza San Pedro, "La Plasita" on Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 on the Plaza San Roque, and DocuRock on Friday at 19:00 at the TEA in Santa Cruz. On the Costa Adeje, Tenerife Fashion Beach starts on Friday at 10:00 with a beach clean-up at Playa del Duque: collect plastic and you earn a place at Saturday evening's catwalk — whose time has not been published.

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura: four free concerts in one night

Arrecife en Vivo has its penultimate night on Friday, and all of it is free: The Anger Price 18:00 at La Plazuela, MFC Chicken 19:30 at the Charco de San Ginés, Alfredo Piedrafita 21:00 at Marina Lanzarote, Chambao 22:30 at the Muelle de Cruceros, which is over-18s only. Prices below: ticket platform Ecoentradas, checked on 24 September.

La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro: paper horses and open water

In Tazacorte the children's Caballos Fufos parade on Friday at 19:00 from the CEO Juan XXIII to the Calle Primero de Mayo, and the musical "La Cruz de Celia" runs on Sunday at 21:00. Elvis Crespo on Saturday has been sold out for over a week. In Santa Cruz de La Palma the Fundación CajaCanarias presents "Amar" with Alberto San Juan on Friday and "Étnico" with Benito Cabrera on Saturday, both at 20:00; the foundation names no prices.

On La Gomera, "La Tuerta" plays on Friday at 20:00 at the Auditorio Insular, free until the hall is full; Mambisa returns to Agulo on Saturday, but the time and venue could not be obtained. On El Hierro the 13th Travesía Mar de Las Calmas starts on Saturday: 18 kilometres from 08:00 at the Faro de Orchilla, plus 6.5 and 2.5 kilometres from 12:30 and 13:15, with the first finishers expected in La Restinga around 13:30. Entries and the waiting list are closed — this one is for spectators.

What is banned outdoors — and which roads close

Much of this weekend happens outdoors, and two prohibition regimes apply to it. The Cabildo de Tenerife has had Grado 1 active since 08:00 on 23 September across its four sectors — Norte, Sur, Anaga Norte and Anaga Sur — with no end date: it bans open fire, barbecues, camping stoves, candles and torches, the burning of residue, smoking and vaping, spark-generating machinery and pyrotechnics (Cabildo de Tenerife, as reported by RTVC, 23 September 2026). On Gran Canaria the INFOGRAN plan has been on alert above 400 metres since 08:00 the same day: no fire in open spaces, no pyrotechnics, the Llanos de La Mimbre campsite and the Tamadaba recreational area closed, the GC-216 closed to non-residents, agricultural burns suspended, access and transit on forest land and trails banned — and hunting banned island-wide (Cabildo de Gran Canaria, as reported by Canarias Ahora, 23 September 2026).

Then there is motorsport. The 45th Rallye Villa de Teror has its ceremonial start on Friday 25 September at 20:30 on the Plaza Ntra. Sra. del Pino in Teror; eight timed stages over three routes follow on Saturday 26 September from 09:25. Each road closes about 45 minutes before the first car sets off. The reopening times are theoretical and move with the race (organiser via atodomotor.com and the Ayuntamiento de Teror; closure times from the Cabildo de Gran Canaria traffic notice via Canarias7, 24 September 2026).
