Bajada de La Rama in Las Marías Festivities

The Bajada de La Rama, part of the Las Marías Festivities in Santa María de Guía, is a traditional celebration where locals and pilgrims gather to descend from the Montaña de Vergara carrying branches and accompanied by the sound of conch shells, drums, and war boxes, following ancient customs. The procession culminates at the esplanade of the Hermitage of San Roque and the Plaza Grande, where popular music, performed by groups such as the Vitamina Band, enhances an atmosphere of festivity, devotion, and community spirit that bridges past and present.
