Fiesta in Puntallana this weekend

Poster for the fiesta in honour of St John the baptist, Puntallana, La Palma

Most villages on La Palma have an annual fiesta in honour of their patron saint. (They've all got patron saints) Most weeks in summer see a fiesta somewhere or other, and this weekend it'll be Puntallana, in honour of St John the Baptist.

On Saturday there's a livestock fair from 10 am to 5:50 pm, the usual farmer's market from 10 am to 2 pm, bouncy castles and other kids' activities from 11 am plus various porting events: a hike, dominoes, baseball, dog trials at 4 pm and at 7:30 pm there's a horse race, along the LP102 from Martin Luis to El Tejal.

On Sunday, there's paint ball at 10 am, more bouncy castles and,I think, a water-fight at 11 am, and folk music starting at 6 pm.

On Monday and Tuesday, kids' football. On Wednesday they've got rhythmic gymnastics and more football.

While you're in the village, it's worth seeing the particularly nice church , the springs, and the museum at Casa Lujan.
