The World Cultures Fair returns to Puntagorda on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026, turning the Mercadillo del Agricultor area into a small journey through cultures without leaving La Palma. It is a great plan to discover flavours, music and traditions from different countries and enjoy the atmosphere with the whole family.
Entry is free, and to make things easier, there will be a shuttle bus from Avenida de la Constitución to the Mercadillo de Puntagorda throughout the weekend.
