Icod of the Wines is preparing to celebrate an unmissable tradition in the island’s festive calendar: San Andrés, a festival associated with the symbolic origin of its historyto the debut of the new harvests of wine and chestnuts and to dragging the boards through the steepest streets of the town center.
To this end, the municipal government has prepared a “simple but complete” program, the main novelty of which is adding one more day of drag at the request of the hospitality sector, the mayor, Javier Sierra, said at a press conference.
Thus, this year the festival will begin on Tuesday the 28th, the day on which the streets will be closed starting at five in the afternoon and on which the institutional act of uncorking the first harvest of this year will be held, which will be maintained by to the young winegrower Orlando Acosta and tribute will be paid to the recently deceased Fernando González, winemaker of Cueva del Rey, who left an important legacy in the winemaking tradition of Icod de los Vinos. For this action, we will have the collaboration of the students of the Cooking, Restoration and Gastronomy training cycles at the IES San Marcos.
On the traditional days of the festival, November 29 and 30, the eve and feast of San Andrés, the municipality will bring together thousands of people who, like every year, do not want to miss the opportunity to feel the vertigo of jumping on a board. In this sense, the mayor asked for caution to those who do it for the first time and advised them to be accompanied by someone who has experience.
Also on this last day, the Andrés Lorenzo Cáceres square will host the great wine festival in which twelve wineries and restaurants in the municipality will participate.
Sierra offered all these details during a press conference in which he was accompanied by the Councilors of Agriculture and Security, Óscar Machado and Verónica González, respectively, and the author of this edition’s poster, the designer David Socas.
Among the scheduled events, a drawing contest with the municipality’s schools and different workshops on the origin of this tradition are included.

The poster
This year’s poster refers to another that was presented in 2017 and which the public really liked. It is based on a cartoon aesthetic and captures very well what tradition, celebration, joy, the uncorking of wines, chestnuts “and of course the presence of the boards and their drags, a unique tradition in the world” , remarked the mayor.
