The influences of German culture are remarkable in Puerto de la Cruz, as we have mentioned many times before, and can be noticed in some of the most picturesque corners that can be found in the city, as in the chapel located at the Paseo de San Telmo, decorated inside by architect Fred Hellweg from Dusseldorf and some of whose paintings were restored by Hans Perth. Or in celebrations such as theCarnival of Puerto de la Cruz, where there are representations of German carnivals.
That is why in the Puerto de la Cruz could not miss a party in honor of our beloved German tourists, which will run from August 19 until 27, with numerous events, from concerts, beer festivals, traditional cuisine, and many surprises.
The musical offering that can be enjoyed for free at various points of Puerto de la Cruz, will consist of three German orchestras, namely Blechbuckel, Hüttenzauber and Reinheitsgebot.
On the other hand, the renowned chef Juan Carlos Clemente Cubas, will be responsible for coordinating the cuisine that you can enjoy these days in Puerto de la Cruz. All accompanied by tastings of beer, a drink that could not miss in this Oktoberfest, where there will be place for tasting local craft beers with particular flavors.
While the Oktoberfest in Puerto de la Cruz will start the 19th, the most important days are Friday 26 and Saturday 27 on the Plaza de Europa.
But before knowing in detail the program this Oktoberfest in Puerto de la Cruz, you might like to know a little about the history of this celebration.
The history of the Bavarian Week / Oktoberfest Puerto de la Cruz
The first celebration of the Week Bavarian took place in 1976, three years after the Centre for Tourism Initiatives of Puerto de la Cruz invited the orchestra “Die Lustigen Egerländer” to the city to bring the canary folklore toall Germans . No one would imagine at that time that this first step would be the prelude to a celebration with more and more roots in the city, which has now been held since 1976 and this year 2016 will celebrate its 43 th edition.
