As far as I know, they only have pandorgas on La Palma. These are frames of balsa wood, covered with tissue paper to make a lantern, and decorated.

Tonight, they'll put candles inside them, and have a procession starting at 9:30 pm. It'll run along A. Rodríguez López, Plaza de la Cruz del Tercero, calle Pérez de Brito, placeta de Borrero, calles Álvarez de Abreu, Lemus, O'Daly, Pérez de Brito and Dr. Pérez Camacho, up to the Avenida Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, where they'll burn them all.
