The pots of San Andrés. In the municipality of Granadilla de Abona.

This event is closely related to San Andres tables because coincides with the feast of the saint and held in different areas of the islands is one Granadilla and upper town neighborhoods.

The origin of this practice is very old. The explanations are the result of the legend. It is said that the object was running quietly pots to scare away many locust plagues coming to the islands, which also include San Andrés was lame, got "drunk" and pots full of days after his party, or San Andres fell asleep and had to wake to the sound of the dishes that children had hung their clothes. Or perhaps, to clean the barrels with salt water they rolled down the slopes to the coast and hence the noise.

This activity involves pulling a rope or wire at the end of which are attached various objects, ranging from soda cans, oil cans, to appliances, bathtubs, scrap ... This will set a long snake of tin, whose objects drawn by children and adults produce much noise, that is precisely what distinguishes it.

On Thursday, November 29, I attended the pots run San Andres in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona. Actually a traditional activity in the town since I have use of reason.

The annually organized by the city council and an association called Moro pancho Dovecote is the municipality.

Reach Granadilla town and went to the house of township youth inaugurated two years ago.It is a very enriching cultural event for all groups, the smallest to the grandfather who takes him and helps prepare the dishes ran with it. And thus preserving a cultural tradition that is passed down from generation to generation and increasingly enriched.
