The festivities of the Virgin of Candelaria that are celebrated on February 2 are a continuation of the one carried out by the conquerors in 1497 and the one on August 15 dates back to the 18th century and was financed with the alms of the town, where the appearance of the Virgin to the Guanches is remembered.

The Beñesmen in the Guanche calendar was an agricultural festival where the collection of the land's products was dedicated to Chaxiraxi.

For all this, the Pilgrimage to Candelaria is a clear vestige of the Guanche Beñesmen, which is several centuries old and was even carried out by the Menceyes (aboriginal kings).

Also parallel to the highway is the so-called "Camino del Peregrino" (Pilgrim's Path), a road that runs through the municipalities of Candelaria, El Rosario and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

[6] Recently, the organization of the pilgrimage route to Candelaria was carried out along the old Camino Real or "Old Road", which connected La Laguna with Candelaria, this route has the category of Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) with category of Historical Site.
