Tradicional Cucaña

The traditional Cucaña is held as part of the Fiestas del Carmen in Tazacorte, offering one of the most anticipated and entertaining moments of the celebration. In this popular challenge, participants attempt to reach a flag placed at the end of a slippery pole suspended over the sea, testing their balance and delighting the audience with laughter. Set in a festive and nautical atmosphere, the Cucaña keeps alive a custom that blends skill, humor, and tradition in the heart of the Tazacorte harbor.
