More than 400 goats from the northern region of Tenerife have been led by the goatherds to the fishing docks of Puerto de la Cruz for the traditional Baño de Cabras that takes place every year on the occasion of the festival of San Juan, the City Council has reported. .
The Cultural Association of Friends of the Bath of Las Cabras in the Sea, with its president Amílcar Fariña at the helm, also meet to celebrate other traditions such as intelligence games with Professor José Manuel Espinel or the exhibition of the game of Palo with the Association Cultural Auchon Guanil.
“The Bath of Goats in the Sea is only love and tradition that must be known and spread so that it continues with us forever, with the affection towards our legacy that we assert to feel proud of what has been, is and will be Puerto de la Cruz”, said the mayor Marco González, who received the goats at the foot of the dock.
The Bath of the Goats in the Sea promoted at the time by Chucho Dorta and recovered by the research work and support of the professor and Canarias prize winner Manuel Lorenzo Perera, is consolidated within the acts of the San Juan festivities that throughout the week the city has celebrated.
