Postigos de Embrujo, organised by the Santiago del Teide Town Hall, holds its seventh edition from 30 October to 2 November 2026. This year's theme is the beliefs and customs surrounding death in the African country of Ghana. Among the most significant events, the Town Hall highlights its well-known Ruta de las Pelujas, which opens the programme as Postigo 1, titled "Señales del camino" (Signs along the way). Pelujas means witches, and the poster asks: will you last the whole way?
The route runs along the Camino Real on Friday 30 October, with five departures at 20:00, 20:30, 21:00, 21:30 and 22:00. The meeting point is the Plaza Pública in the centre of Santiago del Teide, in front of the Town Hall. Places are limited to 20 people per group, and prior registration via WhatsApp is required. The programme continues on Saturday 31 October at 21:30 with the 4th Festival Luces y Sombras in Plaza Santa Ana in Tamaimo, and on Sunday 1 November, All Saints' Day, with "La Gran Despedida", a day of workshops on Ghanaian traditions around the dead from 10:00 to 14:30; the poster does not give the location of that day.
