Updated in 2026. The Enrame de los Chorros is one of Puerto de la Cruz’s most beautiful traditions during the San Juan festivities. For several days, the city’s old public water spouts and fountains are decorated with flowers, fruit, vegetables, palm leaves, and natural elements, transforming everyday water points into small temporary works of art.
The 2026 edition has already taken place. According to the official programme published by Puerto de la Cruz Town Council, the 2026 Enrame de los Chorros was held on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 June at several locations. This article has been updated for anyone who wants to understand the tradition, find out which water spouts took part, and prepare for the next visit without relying on old information.

What is the Enrame de los Chorros?
The enrame consists of decorating Puerto de la Cruz’s public water spouts with flowers, fruit, vegetables, and greenery. It is a tradition connected with water, San Juan, and the municipality’s community life. It is not a permanent tourist display: it lasts only a short time, changes every year, and is best enjoyed on foot.
Hola Islas Canarias describes the San Juan festivities in Puerto de la Cruz as a celebration of tradition and local identity that includes the Enrame de los Chorros, the San Juan bonfires, and the Baño de Cabras.

Why it is so charming
Because it combines memory, water, neighbourhoods, and creativity. The water spouts were important places in the city’s daily life, and decorating them makes that history visible. It is a simple tradition without large stages, and perhaps that is precisely why it feels so special.
Advice: take your time and look at the details. Sometimes a papaya, a few carefully arranged leaves, or a flower in exactly the right place says more than a huge illuminated stage. Some traditions do not shout, but they stay with you.
How to visit the Enrame de los Chorros
The best way is to walk through Puerto de la Cruz and connect several water spouts. If there is a guided route, it is worth registering because it helps you understand the context. If you visit independently, check the official locations beforehand and wear comfortable footwear.
- Start early to see the decorations in good light.
- Do not touch or remove elements from the displays.
- Respect the residents and groups taking part.
- Combine the walk with the historic centre, harbour, and Playa Jardín.
- If you are driving, park outside the centre and walk.
San Juan festivities: bonfires and the Baño de Cabras
The Enrame is not an isolated event. In 2026, the municipal programme also included the San Juan bonfires at Playa Jardín and the traditional Baño de Cabras at the fishing harbour on Wednesday 24 June. They are separate traditions, but together they explain Puerto de la Cruz’s relationship with water, fire, the sea, and popular memory extremely well.
If you visit outside the festival dates
If you go to Puerto de la Cruz outside San Juan, you may not see the water spouts decorated. Even so, you can use this guide to recognise the traditional locations, walk around the historic centre, and understand the festival better when it is held again.
For future editions, check the municipal website and official events calendar a few weeks before San Juan. The dates are usually around 22, 23, and 24 June, but times, routes, and activities may change.
