What is Hierros de Mazo?
Hierros de Mazo is a meet for owners and enthusiasts of historic vehicles, held in the municipality of Villa de Mazo on La Palma. The focus is on classic off-roaders, particularly old Land Rovers, which shaped the look of farming on the island for decades.
The Ayuntamiento de Villa de Mazo organises the event together with the Cabildo de La Palma, the island government. According to the announcement, the mayor highlights the historic role of these vehicles in agriculture and everyday rural life on La Palma.
Many residents associate the old Land Rovers with work on the island's fincas. The event aims to keep that memory alive and make it accessible to a wide audience.
When and where does the meet take place?
The fourth edition takes place on Saturday, 10 October 2026. The venue is Andares in the municipality of Villa de Mazo, as the Ayuntamiento reports.
The programme begins at 10:00 with the opening of the meet. The display of participating vehicles forms the opening and is regarded as the main attraction of the day.
There is already a pre-programme on Friday, 9 October 2026: a visit to Bodega Mergus is scheduled for 17:30. Prior registration is required for this.
What can visitors expect on 10 October?
Alongside the display of more than 100 historic vehicles, the programme offers a course for crawler RC vehicles, small-scale remote-controlled off-roaders, for children. A demonstration of rescue and recovery equipment completes the offer.
Several interviews around the meet are also planned. According to the organisers, the aim is an informative and family-friendly day around the world of motoring.
At 13:30, the Ayuntamiento de Villa de Mazo serves the traditional communal lunch for registered participants of the meet.
How much does it cost to attend?
The press release excerpts I could read do not mention admission. The village page could not be fetched, so this is unverified.
No registration or special eligibility is required for spectators. Only those wishing to take part in the Bodega Mergus visit on Friday or the communal lunch on Saturday must register in advance.
Further questions can be directed to the Ayuntamiento de Villa de Mazo.
What was the response in previous years?
For 2026, the organisation reports more than 100 vehicles. That points to continued growth in participation, even though no uniform data series is available for all four editions.
The organisers link the meet with the memory of agricultural work on the island. Many neighbours still know the old Land Rovers from daily use on the fincas.
What remains open?
The available sources do not name prices for the communal lunch, any general reservation system, bus routes, designated car parks or official travel recommendations.
Likewise unpublished are the budget, the financial contributions of the Ayuntamiento or Cabildo, sponsors or the administrative instrument for financing the event.
Visitors should check details of parking and possible short-term traffic measures directly with the Ayuntamiento de Villa de Mazo. No further follow-up dates after 10 October 2026 are mentioned in the sources.
