Apicultura y su tradición artesanal: beekeeping exhibition and talk opening the Santo Domingo Cultural Weekverified
The 51st Santo Domingo Cultural Week in La Guancha opens on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at 19:00 with the exhibition «Apicultura y su tradición artesanal» and a talk by Juan Jesús, president of the North Tenerife Beekeepers' Association. It is the first of five days of folklore, crafts and traditions devoted to Tenerife and Lanzarote, under the motto «Dos islas, un mismo sentir».
The 51st Santo Domingo Cultural Week in La Guancha opens on Wednesday 21 October 2026, and the bee is the star of the first evening. After the official opening by the councillor for culture, Alejandro Hernández, and the president of the organising association, Juan Mesa, the exhibition «Apicultura y su tradición artesanal» (Beekeeping and its craft tradition) opens. Then Juan Jesús, president of the North Tenerife Beekeepers' Association and owner of the honey brand «Oromiel», gives a talk.
The Cultural Week is organised by the Asociación Sociocultural La Costa with the support of La Guancha Town Council. This year's motto is «Dos islas, un mismo sentir» (Two islands, one shared feeling): Tenerife and Lanzarote take centre stage in five days of folklore, crafts, food and popular traditions. The programme does not state the exact venue. According to the town council's 2014 report, the Cultural Week's activities were held at the Centro Cultural de Santo Domingo, on Peatonal La Iglesia, except on the Saturday, when they moved out to the church square. We cannot take this as certain, so it is worth checking with La Guancha Town Council in the days before. Wednesday 21 October programme: 19:00, opening of the Cultural Week, followed by the opening of the exhibition «Apicultura y su tradición artesanal» and a talk on beekeeping.
