How do visitors in the south of Tenerife reach the concert on 8 November?
Anyone living or holidaying in the south of Tenerife in November has a free concert close by on 8 November 2026. The Casino de San Miguel de Abona is in the municipality of the same name, not far from the large resort areas on the south coast.
At 18:00 Vanesa Muela and the Canary Guitar Quartet begin their joint performance. Vanesa Muela is, according to La Provincia, a singer and percussionist from Valladolid who specialises in Castilian and Leonese folklore.
The Canary Guitar Quartet consists of Samuel Delgado, Luis Alejandro García, Tomás Fariña and Fran Yanes. The classical guitar quartet focuses mainly on contemporary repertoire, according to La Provincia.
You do not need a ticket or a reservation. According to La Provincia, the organisation confirms that all performances take place with free entry until the venue is full.
Anyone who wants to be sure should arrive early. Once the hall is full, there are no more places.
Which further dates are confirmed?
The series is spread over several months and alternates between Gran Canaria and Tenerife. The next date mentioned after 8 November is 6 December 2026 at 12:00 on the Plaza de San Juan in Arucas on Gran Canaria.
On 16 December 2026 a performance follows at the Centro Cultural y de Recreo de Arafo in Tenerife. La Provincia does not give a time for it.

Who is on stage?
The festival combines Canarian musical traditions with sounds from other regions and continents. From Cameroon comes the singer and composer Lornoar, born in Yaoundé, who mixes the heritage of the Eton people with contemporary sounds.
The Basque Country is represented by Xabi Aburruzaga, composer and virtuoso of the trikitixa, the traditional Basque diatonic accordion. From Castile and León comes Vanesa Muela, who works with panderetas, panderos and spoons.
For the Canary Islands, the timple player and composer Laura Martel from Gran Canaria and the Canary Guitar Quartet take the stage. Laura Martel has, according to La Provincia, released albums such as Punto de Partida and Notas para ti.
Behind the festival is Miguel Afonso, a Canarian accordionist, performer and producer. According to La Provincia, he focuses on researching folklore and on exchange between musicians from different cultures.
How much does it cost to attend the Folk Canarias festival?
Nothing: according to La Provincia, the organisation confirms that all performances take place with free entry. There are no indications of ticket prices, registration fees or hidden costs.
For the evening at the Casino de San Miguel de Abona, neither registration nor a ticket is mentioned. Only the number of places is limited; anyone arriving late risks finding a full hall.
Which details about the concert in San Miguel de Abona are still open?
The exact address of the casino is missing, as is a telephone number or email address for enquiries. La Provincia also says nothing about parking, public transport, accessibility or seat allocation.
Anyone arriving by car should look for parking in the municipality of San Miguel de Abona on arrival. For current programme information, the reporting points to the festival website folkcanarias.com, where further details about the December dates and possible changes are likely to appear.
Which programme items follow after 8 November?
According to La Provincia, the series runs over several months and does not end with the concert in San Miguel de Abona. Two December dates are already confirmed: 6 December in Arucas and 16 December in Arafo.
Whether further performances are planned on other Canary Islands is not clear from the sources. The series therefore focuses on Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
In addition to the concerts, talks, workshops, performances and joint creative meetings are also planned, according to La Provincia. They are intended to bring local cultural venues to life and involve more people locally.
