Thousands of people came all day yesterday to the historic center of Arona to live the Day of the Traditions, dressing its streets and squares with heritage and color, and signifying its customs, folklore and culture in an incomparable setting. The Canarian feeling has been the essence that has turned the municipality into a town of yesteryear and has once again made Arona in Traditions a new day of participatory success. A festival that, year after year, achieves more affection from the people within the framework of the Major Festivals in honor of the Holy Christ of Health and Our Lady of the Rosary.

The day began with the ringing of the bells at 11 in the morning, to give way to the Music Band, which began to perform joyous toccatas, just as it happened in 1899, the year of the first party program known as such. The banners and flowers that decorate the streets announced a party as soon as they arrived in the Casco de Arona, and invited them to tour the historic center and enjoy culture and tradition. Old trucks, photographs or the recreation of an inn of the time, among other decorative details, adorned some of the areas.
