Shortly after, the sound of timples, guitars and drums began to sound through the streets of the old town that the students of the Folklore Area of the Artistic Schools of Mogán and Parranda Arguín walked through. Returning to the square, the San Bartolomé de Tirajana Wrestling Club held an exhibition of this native sporting discipline, while the La Revoliá School did the same with traditional games, to which later the attendees themselves were also able to join.
