Virgin del Pino's Return to Teror: A City's Farewell and a Journey of Faith

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria bids farewell to the Virgin del Pino as she prepares for her return to Teror. The city's cathedral buzzed with activity as locals and tourists alike gathered for a final glimpse of the revered statue before the start of the annual procession. "We came for tourism, not for religious reasons," said one visitor, highlighting the event's broad appeal. Another resident shared, "It's very heartwarming; a very endearing image." The procession, scheduled to begin at 6 am on Sunday, will follow a route that includes the Gran Canaria 21 highway, passing through the neighborhoods of Las Rehoyadas and Hoyo Andrea, before arriving in Teror around 4 pm. Traffic restrictions will be in place from 4 am near the cathedral. The event promises a vibrant display of faith and community spirit.
