The day will end with the participation of the Impoue folk group and a collective communtiy coming together in the plaza.

Wednseday it is the turn of Los Olivos, with the procession from the roundabout to the San José church. On Thursday Fañabe will greet the statue at the football grounds and walk to the church and the Adeje Patronal Band will accompany the procession.
On Friday the statue returns to the Adeje parish church, with the procession from the Plaza de la Cruz del Llano to the church accompanied by the San Juan band from La Orotava.
