Gran Canaria


Next to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, this small museum honours the town’s most important annual festival, La Rama, with explanations, history and displays, including the quaint papier-mâché figures with giant heads, who supposedly represent popular characters in the town.
