Canarian Day festivities Tuineje 2019

Tuineje celebrates Canary Islands Day with traditional music on Paco Hierro Avenue, Gran Tarajal,Tuineje, Fuerteventura throughout the day.

The Day of the Canary Islands (Día de las Canarias) is a public holiday in Fuerteventura on May 30th each year. This event celebrates the islands' culture and commemorates the autonomous Canary Islands Parliament's first session on May 30, 1983.

The name Gran Tarajal derives from the year 1740 when Tuineje saw the battle fought by an English Privateer with the ship named Grand Tarajal. At one time the port of Gran Tarajal was responsible for the export of the entire island's tomato production, today Gran Tarajal is mostly populated with locals and ex pats. It is home to one of the island's largest lime kilns, the Gran Tarajal Lime Kiln built in 1953.
