The Hearts of Tejina are one of Tenerife’s most distinctive traditional celebrations: large floral and fruit-decorated structures presented by local neighbourhood groups. The event is a living community tradition and deserves a respectful visit.
Check the annual programme
Dates, processions and practical arrangements are set each year. Consult official local information before travelling, especially if you are visiting specifically for the event.
How to visit respectfully
Keep streets clear, follow crowd-management instructions and do not touch the displays. Take photographs without obstructing participants or residents.
Getting there
Tejina is in the north-east of Tenerife and is easy to combine with La Laguna or Anaga by car. Arrive early for official parking and expect traffic around peak moments.
Make a day of it
Allow time for the town, local food and nearby coast rather than treating the celebration as a quick stop. Supporting local businesses helps keep traditions alive.
